Things I Learned in 2015

Auctions are fun.

Screen shot can be a girl's best defense.

Losing weight and keeping it off is a lifestyle.

Forgiveness does not mean you have to continue in any type of relationship with someone, whether business, professional, or personal.

Your life is what you make it. Don't like something? Change it.

Most people aren't willing to make changes.

When filling out a comment card, the recipients are really only interested in positive comments.

Apple cider vinegar is a menopausal girl's BFF.

When someone says, "Drop in anytime, take what you need." They don't mean it.

Sometimes the most gracious behavior is just keeping your mouth shut.

Things left in a pile to be thrown away are not always trash-bin worthy.

Flying, though freakishly scary, can be done with lots of prayer support and without the use of medication or other things.

Just because you notice errors on a website does not mean you should point them out to the owner.

Silence truly is golden.

Sometimes we clap because something is over, not because it was good.

Chocolate babka.

People need leaders to follow. 

Shopping can be fun, it depends on where one chooses to shop.

All relationships require effort to make them work.

Netflix is so much better than network television.

Walking away from some things is a lot easier than I'd anticipated.

Someone's word is not very good anymore. "I'll do it" doesn't mean what it used to.

People are going to talk about you. You can't stop them. Just be fabulous.

I need a committee.

Front Row Seat

  If you've been around me any length of time, you'll know I love having a front row seat when possible. Church. Concerts. Comedy shows. Auctions. I want to be front and center, where the action is, so I don't get distracted and miss something. I want to be part of the event and front is where it's at.  Lately I've had a front row seat to some things that I wish I could unsee. My mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis and the last year and a half of watching her slow and steady decline into a world of unknowns has taken a toll.  I tend to hold every emotion inside. Always have. I've learned -these past fifteen months or so- that this is bad for my health. Stress levels are impacting how I feel. Palpitations, and a diagnosis of "harmless" PACs, have left me trying to manage this stress. It's gotten easier but, I'll admit, I still have things shoved down inside. And then along came CDH. A diagnosis I'd not heard of before it was given to...

Sweet Zoey

 Zoey - August 10, 2020 When we found her I didn't realize I needed her. Sure, she needed us, she was living in woods, alone, surviving on whatever she could find. She was nine months old, the vet later told me when I took her in for a check-up, still unsure I wanted to keep this undernourished mutt. We'd been on vacation in southwest Missouri, near the Arkansas border, in the middle of the woods. I was on the porch when I saw her trotting down the dirt road. A little brown dog. I whistled and she stopped to look at me from across the lawn. Then she continued on her way. Later that night, the family was watching a movie we'd brought (no cable service out there!) and suddenly this furry face popped up in the window, scaring my husband out of his seat. We fed her some people food and went to bed.  She was still there in the morning. We asked around and no one knew where she came from. We fed her some more and she stayed. The next day we went and bought some dog food, f...

2020 Favorite Things

2020 has been the craziest year. I decided to release my favorite things list a little early, not that it's important to anyone but me ha ha. These are things that impacted me over the past year -- in a positive way. I could easily do a least favorite things list for this year, as I'm sure could you. It was hard to find positivity in 2020 but there is always something to be thankful for. The sun still rises and the tides still sweep across the shores. We are still free -for now- in the USA. Read on to see what I enjoyed this year.  Silk pillowcases are on my list of new favorite things. For the past ten years or so I've found it hard to sleep on a rough pillowcase. They almost feel like they burn my skin, some can be very abrasive. I've taken to using the old pillowcases, the ones a few washes from the trash can, the old cotton tends to soften. Until silk pillowcases came my way. *Cue organ music* So luxurious . Apparently there are legit reasons to use these (n...
