What if I'm fine didn't mean "okay" in words,Perhaps the truth doesn't come in verbs,My perceptions often creates a hostile attribution bias,Where my brain becomes overwhelmed by lies,Suddenly my environment no longer feels secure,A mirage of rejection and disdain begins to obscure,The view of the people I've known for years,Their fondness for me disappears. Have… Continue reading Check On Your Friends
Reminisce
It is that time of year,As the holidays draw near,Florida temps drop down to 70,Everyone seems a bit spiced with some levity,The wind blowing through the trees,The smell of the sea in the breeze,Makes this romantic heart dream,Memories on continuous stream, Marveling at this life I’ve lived,From roaming corn fields and country roads,To huffing freon… Continue reading Reminisce
Week in Review – 10/9/22
I've never consistently done blogs about my week in review, but perhaps I should. I usually write a paragraph or two on it on my Week Ahead blogs. Regardless, tonight I felt a bit like writing. Not that I have particularly that much to share. I've been in Myrtle Beach for over a week now.… Continue reading Week in Review – 10/9/22
Post Hurricane Ian Update
I thought I should write a post-Hurricane Ian update blog. Since I am writing this, I think it is safe to say I survived unless it is the end of the world, and there is a zombie apocalypse, and instead of eating the flesh of the living, I write blogs. I don't mean to jest,… Continue reading Post Hurricane Ian Update
Hurricane Kind of Thoughts
No better time to feel sorry for yourself than when you are hiding out in the closet with your two dogs as a category 4 hurricane travels over your house. I guess this is a new first in my life. Never sat through a category 4 hurricane before. Why might you ask am I feeling… Continue reading Hurricane Kind of Thoughts
Week Ahead – 09/26/22
Good Monday morning! I hope everyone had a good weekend. Mine was a mixture of things, really. I had to work on a paper for much of the weekend. I did have some downtime in the sun, which I appreciated. I also got a ton of cleaning done. I went to get my haircut on… Continue reading Week Ahead – 09/26/22
Filters
I've been thinking a lot about filters. A filter is a lens that you see the world through. That is perhaps why even our own account of events is always biased, as we are always viewing it through our own lens, which is different than someone else's and different than pure reality. Granted, whatever lens… Continue reading Filters
Just Checking In
Words have evaded me lately. Wish I had more to share. Something clever to say. Perhaps that is my fault for not coming to these keys and allowing my fingers to get rusty. They've lost their connection to my mind. Perhaps. 🤔 I suppose part is in truth because I am not sure what to… Continue reading Just Checking In
Week Ahead – 09/19/22
Happy Monday morning everyone! This last week was a bit overwhelming, to say the least. Let's do a review of last week before we dive into my week ahead. Last week I got into a relationship with someone I have loved and have been friends with for 12 years. This is my first official relationship… Continue reading Week Ahead – 09/19/22
Mathew the Mouse Reflects on his voyage
Mathew swallowed hard on the rancid memory of the inimical words shared by the non-believers in his life. People who for whatever reason thought his plans for his future were laugh-worthy. The taste of their words gave him strength. Fear and doubt were always incredible motivaters for him whether they were his own or projected… Continue reading Mathew the Mouse Reflects on his voyage
