Endings....

posted over 2 years ago | 12 comments
This has been a rather difficult week for me, at work. In fact, I have been thinking about it all day, even though my work week is over.

It seems I have taken on a new role. It is one that I don’t remember having before, at least, not quite like...

Hail and Farewell.....

posted over 2 years ago | 10 comments
Well, I did it….

I have been thinking about it, reading everything I could find about it, and talking about it. And now, I have done it. In the past, I have always been a day late and a dollar short, but not this time.

It’s a done deal…

I have ...

Tomorrow is my day off. So today, I have been thinking about what I will do. I have errands to run and chores to do. Things that can’t be put off because I have to work all weekend. And so, today I am planning tomorrow.

And it seems I have been l...

I have decided that it really exists. Bali Hai. And I know where it is for me. I was just there a couple of weeks ago.

It’s been one of those days. I have more things that need my attention than I have time to do them. And, after working the last five days, it felt good to rest. Rest is another thing that is lacking in my life, at times.

My favorite saying is: “i...

The Secret Life of the Smiling Wife

posted over 2 years ago | 6 comments
If I wrote a book about my married life, that would be the title. It wouldn’t be about the things that happened to me for all those years. It would be about their effect on who and what I am now.

Would anybody read it? Does it really matter? I wo...

The Little Orange Boat...

posted over 2 years ago, updated 38 minutes later | 8 comments
When I was at the coast last week, I kept coming back to look at this little orange boat. I would stand and stare at it for long periods of time. For some reason, I felt an affinity with it.

And I have been thinking about it since I got home and ...

Happy Anniversary….

posted over 2 years ago | 9 comments
There’s a new person on Eons.

The story is long, and maybe boring, but suffice it to say she has been around for awhile.

Had she stayed in her abusive marriage, today would be her wedding anniversary. She didn’t and it is not. But, she did rece...

Leapfrog is a children's game in which players vault over each other's stooped backs. The first participant rests hands on knees and bends over, which is called giving a back. Games of this sort have been called by this name since at least ...
