Please Beam Me Up Biscotti

Are there some wee jokes or memes that tickle your funny bone?  I hope so.  Humour helps I find.  Humour makes the difference & just plain makes what feels like the unbearable actually bearable in my experience.  I don’t want to live in a world big or small without humour...

Defying the Odds or Without a Container

Do you find that there are some conversations that seem to be happening over & over all around you?  If you are Canadian, I wonder if you too are a little tired of being asked if the day is either hot enough or cold enough for you.  The day is what it is & I am just not in charge...

Diabetes "Muggles"

How’s your governor doing?  This is a different type of politics.  It is the censor that exists within each one of us fondly referred to in our home as the pause button.  Are there days where you just plain wish you could release that pause button & get some raw truths out...

Life, 42, and Help Me

Who’s on your team? “What team?” you may be asking.  It is the one that I consider to be the ultimate team of teams.  It consists of all the MVP’s.  We have previously talked about the team that we put together for our health management if we live with a 365 or several.  Today...

Silence That Carries Words

How many words per day do you speak?  Are most of the words spoken to yourself or others?  Do we ever really stop communicating words at least to ourselves from the time we wake up until the time we fall asleep at night?  What are we saying to ourselves most of the time?  How...

Messy Inspiration

Are inspirational words or people perfect?  If something or someone perfect did exist would the inspirational aspect be lost in the perfection anyhow?  We each answer these questions for ourselves.  My own answer is that perfection on earth is a myth & I am pretty okay with...

A Lot of Fight Left In Us!

Do we share something huge in common?  Whether we are natural peacemakers or rock the boaters or something somewhere in between maybe just maybe we share the biggest things on our list of priorities.  I will say that there was a time in my life where I was pretty much similar to Rex the...
