A few weeks ago I went to the eye doctor. It had been quite a while since my last check up. I guess you go along and put things off until such time as you cannot see. Literally. The fine print which seemed to be a good enough size for me to read off aContinue reading “I Can See Clearly Now”

“Its not the years in life you live but the life you live in these years”. I am humbled by these words which struck me as I was watching a Christmas movie from Hallmark. I am not quite sure of the title of the movie but when the actor said these at the dinner tableContinue reading “Its a Good Day”

Okay so don’t do it for goodness sake. What one might ask? Well it goes something like this. I did not have my glasses handy as being over 60 there seems to be a disconnect between small print and my eyes. I have to be real….it is not just the fine print any more. SquintingContinue reading “Okay So Don’t”

Going out with my sister was a blast. She is a story teller like our dad as she shares her life with me. She also is a crazy foodie like most of my family seems to be. I tend to go on the side of caution and bland. Mabe a bit of salt and pepperContinue reading “Seasoning”

It has been a painful journey lately as my dad struggles with his journey with dialysis. His kidneys are failing him. One is done like toast (I need humour at this point) and the other….well lets just say the percentage count of the second kidney’s function is not that high. Oh how did life getContinue reading “Dignity”

I have to say that I received a lovely package in the mail a few days ago from a special person in my life. In it, there were some lovely pieces of reading material. What a surprise to receive! I am not used to receiving things just for me and I do not accept giftsContinue reading “The Choice”

It has been a long time but here I am. I crossed the bridge, literally, and found my way back home. Home, a place I want to be. I am not sure one appreciates one’s home until it is gone. For me, suitcase living is okay for a bit but holy moly, country road, takeContinue reading “Its Good to be Home”
