I have reached 100! I started blogging on December 1, 2013, and this is my 100th post. I had no idea what blogging was really all about, I just thought it might be helpful to put my thoughts in writing, it might make some things clearer for me to understand, allow me to get things […]

This is a re post for me – but I felt it fit in with the Daily Prompt today, which asked: Ever have an experience that felt surreal, as though you’d been suddenly transported into the twilight zone. Six degrees of separation is the theory that everyone and everything is six or fewer steps away, by way of introduction, […]
Today would have been my father’s birthday. He died 9 years ago. I think of him often. Are we who we are because of genetics? environment? a combination of both? As I have grown older I have to come to realize I am my father’s daughter most certainly. So much of who I am, the […]
Today is my step daughter Becky’s birthday. She is 31. She was 6 when her parent’s divorced. She was 8 when I married her father. Looking back, it has been quite a journey. Her mother has never remarried to this day, and wrote the book on how not to behave when you get divorced. Unfortunately, […]

I read a thought provoking article in the NY Times, titled Aid In Dying. It is about a man who has a heart problem and has already undergone an open heart surgery, but needs another, which he does not want to do. The state in which he lives does not allow Doctor assisted “aid in […]
I started going through the photos in my cell phone today- I try to “clean up” and delete what I don’t need taking up space in my phone or the duds. I usually do this while I am waiting in line at the grocery store, or at a Doctors appointment- passes the time. As I was […]
