You're Kidding, Right?

Don’t you find that a really good belly laugh is medicinal?  Since we are each beautiful originals, what I find funny you may not & vice versa.  And then there may be many times where we can sit together laughing at exactly the same thing in the spirit of “me too.”  I love...

Factoring in the Cheese & Balloons

We are enjoying a gorgeous day out in thickly treed woods with only the sound of birds singing, chipmunks zinging by almost smiling at us on a perfect summer day…hold on…and right, mosquitoes buzzing their warnings that we are about to become a delectable meal for them.  Wait a minute. ...

Yes or No, yet Never Maybe

Most of us at some point in our lives have watched Star Wars.  Do you have a favourite character from this series?  I do & that is definitively Yoda.  When someone can be both humourous as well as wise all wrapped together, I am pretty much an admirer of that.  A line that I...

One Tired "Bear" Climbing Each Mountain

Does it seem like it has been one long, continuous full month during the months of November & December so far?  Maybe you can relate to times when out of nowhere life becomes one climb uphill after the other.  On November 27th, I sat down & wrote a blog sharing that I will post in...

The Turning Point Long Ago

When you think of life’s turning points, does your mind automatically go to a celebratory or painful reference?  When I think of huge life changing turning points, I realize that there are only a few that I remember daily.  Sure, there are oodles of smaller turning points & they are...
