I just want to be healthy
Isn’t that a simple enough thing? Well, I plan to make that my goal for the upcoming new year. I have so many things I want to do – NEED to do. I have some goals and dreams. Things I want to teach my children, places I want to take my children, and experiences I…
Hiding in the Dark or Cold Tile Floor
I am a mess. I held it somewhat together through the holidays. But now I am falling apart. I feel so alone at a time when I should feel surrounded. I am so blessed and have so much to be thankful for – so I don’t mean to sound ungrateful, because I am not. It…

Treading water in the floods of life

We’ve been swept with storm after storm this spring, flood waters have risen to record levels, damage has been wrought, but alas we are still here and just fine. Times are still tough, we have had our struggles, but all-in-all we consider ourselves very fortunate…
Words
I just wrote a bunch of adjectives on a piece of paper. I wish I could tear it up, throw it away and not feel them about myself ever again. I’d settle for just not feeling them so much and so often. The hardest programming to overcome is that which we say in our own…

Trying to go up when I’m feeling so down
We had a bad blow-out with the Boy tonight. Letting go is *TOUGH*! So, in meandering around, trying to keep my mind off of it for a little while and to find something uplifting I happened to click on the link in the side bar under “On this Day… 5 Years Ago”:http://starzabove.com/?month=2003-01-08 Go ahead and…
