I don’t know about anyone else but Memorial Day is a very special holiday to me. It isn’t because I personally had a lot of people in my family and/or circle of friends who went to war for my country because I didn’t. In fact, I don’t personally know a single person who died fighting for our freedom. Nevertheless, I …
I Fired My Friend
That’s correct! After a 5-year friendship, I received a call from someone who was planning to be in the area for the next few days and wanted to get together. I told her that I was not interested in doing so and after a brief discussion I wished her all the best for her future, told her that I had …
Look Inside for the Answers
For as long as I can remember, I always believed that whenever you have a situation with which you need to deal, the answers can be found inside of you and not from others. In one of the lyrics that are contained in the “Let Life Happen” CD, the words are “the answers are inside the mind, they’re really not …
What a Glorious Day!
It is an absolutely beautiful day. The sun is shining and I hear birds singing. There is a little breeze blowing and the temperature is probably in the low 70’s. I can see some fabulous flowers blooming from my window. Who could ask for anything more! Oh, I am so very grateful that my husband and I each have work …

I am sorry that many of the other traditions associated with the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ have gone by the wayside in recent years. But I do enjoy the fun of the Easter …
Walk the Walk
What is going on with so many people today who say they are going to do something and then they don’t? I am not talking about the ones who make a commitment and because of extenuating circumstances have to change plans. I am not even talking about the ones who just decide that they don’t want to do what they …
Thinking
[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.793190&w=200&h=200&fv=] I love to think. I love the satisfaction that I get when I think through something and come up with a great solution or a better way to do something. I love to think about the topic that I will choose each week for my blog. I can go on and on but I have recently discovered that …
Enjoy A Vacation
In case you are not aware, the American worker puts in more hours on the job each week than the employees of any other country. And if you are fortunate enough to have been able to retain your job in this current financial situation, then you are probably like so many others who are afraid to take vacation time even …
New Year’s Resolutions
Originally I had planned to announce a new program this week but it seems that I need to delay it for at least one more week. So, I have decided to address a subject that I have never completely understood nor supported. Yes, I have made New Year’s resolutions and never was able to keep a single one of them …
