The Music of My Life – 1993

Welcome back to The Music of My Life, where I feature ten songs from each year of my life.  In most cases, the ten songs I choose will be ones I like personally (unless I explain otherwise). The songs will be selected from Billboard’s Year-end Hot 100 Chart, Acclaimed Music, and will all be released … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 1993 →

Friday Gratitude

I'd like to begin by thanking each of you who reached out either in the comments, via email, or text offering support after yesterday's blog. I truly appreciate it you.

Thursday Thoughts

I'm forcing myself to write today. I have some funny things to share, and these are the type of things that have kept me going the last couple weeks. Feeling ... not right When I got the diagnosis of ADHD recently and began the new medication, I had hoped that I would start to feel … Continue reading Thursday Thoughts →

The Answers Bring More Questions … and Hope

I am a bit overwhelmed today. So overwhelmed that I wasn't sure I'd want to write. However, I feel I need to. As I mentioned in yesterday's blog, I had a doctor visit to discuss the results of all of the ADHD testing. I will tell you that it was about as thorough as you … Continue reading The Answers Bring More Questions … and Hope →

May Is Mental Health Awareness Month

I just found out that May is Mental Health Awareness Month. You HAVE to take care of yourself. I have learned this over time as I realize just how many things I have going on.

Your Wish Is My Command

I can't remember what site I saw this on, but thought it was interesting to see the responses. If you had one "genie wish," what would you wish for? I think what makes the question tough to answer is that whenever we think of a genie, there always seems to be three wishes. That's not … Continue reading Your Wish Is My Command →

Sending Them Up

Anxiety. Fear. Sadness. Unrest. Nervousness. Sorrow. Overwhelmed. Confused. Any one of those feelings can be crippling. All of them swirling together are scary. With the wrong mindset, it can be devastating. Those feelings don't hit me all at once often, but when they do, it is easy to try to figure it out myself. That … Continue reading Sending Them Up →

Sorting Out My G.E.R.D.

Throughout my life, I have seen therapists off and on for various reasons: my weight, depression, grief counseling, anger issues, my divorce, etc ... Years ago, I was told by someone close to me that I was not making any progress and I was wasting money and time with therapy, so I stopped going. This … Continue reading Sorting Out My G.E.R.D. →

I STILL Believe in Miracles!

In the past few months, I have had many new followers to this blog. For the benefit of them, here is a brief introduction to where this blog is going. Prior to 2017, my life was a shambles.

We Need A Little Happy…

Let's face it, 2020 has kinda been a crappy year. As it draws to a close, many of us will be glad to see it go! Sure, there have been high points, but the bad has outweighed the good throughout most of the year. Covid-19, quarantine, the election, political ads (on TV, radio, and via … Continue reading We Need A Little Happy… →
