We all need something to look forward to. Even if it doesn’t get to happen, the anticipation helps lift our spirits in the meantime. My daughter wants to do a road trip to Florida with the family in their motor home. It could be fun. At least planning it would be. It’s difficult to officiallyContinue reading “Let’s Make Plans, Have a Goal”

Sometimes the combination of COVID and the loss of Ted and being cooped up in my home due to snow, ice and not driving on it, makes the days very long. Not knowing my purpose now, or even the chance to find out, doesn’t help either. I have no clue as what I should beContinue reading “Am I just Waiting Now? And, What For?”

When we lose a spouse we lose lots of other things too. A friend, confidant, companion, lover, helpmate, a shoulder to cry on, someone to share joys, sorrows, exciting experiences, finances and security.

It was fun living on our twenty acres, and enjoying the beauty which was breathtaking when heavy snow would drape the evergreensContinue reading “Only One More Week, I Hope”

Especially since we always celebrated it as an anniversary of his finally getting me to go out with him, after four months of asking! It was the beginning of a special romance that lasted 37 years, and a marriage of 32 years. I just want to try and ignore it and let it hurry by.Continue reading “Valentines Day, Now That’s A Hard One”

Watching a movie from the 50s when I grew up and remembering how those days were full of fun and innocence. I feel for our children during this time as they are missing out on a time of having fun with friends, and no major worries. I hope things will change soon so they canContinue reading “The Good Old Days”

I was browsing my Facebook page and came across a video posting from a church friend . She posted what she has titled a “Fellowship by Lamplight” video as she was sitting at a desk and on it was the only light—a kerosene lamp. She did that on purpose.

Just when you think you have a handle on things, your world turns upside down. There is no way to predict it. It just happens. I was doing my taxes for this year.
