SPRING EQUINOX

Dearest One, It saddens me to address you in this manner but I don’t know what else to do. You do not listen to me. So, that being the case, I will have to let you know in writing that our relationship is over. I am done! I have... — Updated 2/29/2024

Writer's Workshop

In desperation, I took a short cut through the alley, hoping to find shelter from the howling, blowing wind, and the bone chilling cold.  The night is very dark and I am in a strange city.  I’m afraid that the directions to... — Updated 11/2/2023

THE CURE TO LONELINESS IS TO DECORATE ONE'S INNER HOUSE

Loneliness, just like other emotions, is a choice.  It’s a message that I tell myself when I am feeling left out, or ill, or depressed, or hounded by dreary thoughts.  All my own doing.  Most of us are firm believers in the... — Updated 10/13/2022

 

TELEMARKETERS AND SCAM ARTIST

I don’t know about you but telemarketer and scam calls set me on fire.  That’s why I was probably the first one to sign up for the “Do Not Call” list.  Well maybe not the first, but close.  I have Caller ID so my... — Updated 9/2/2022

I grew up with strong rituals, a set hour for bedtime and arising the next morning, three meals served much the same time each day, every day, home by 6:00 each evening. A day for laundry. A day for ironing, etc. Dependable,... — Updated 7/1/2021
