Today I'm grateful for friendship. Well, more than simple friendship- but lifelong friendship. I'm grateful for the love of a friend who accepts me in my quiet, in my crazy, in my lazy, and in my frenzy. I'm grateful for knowing that friend provides unconditional love in all moments. I'm grateful for a friend…
Time for Gratitude: March 29, 2016
Today I'm grateful for my Dad and Sue's dog, Josie. Dogs always make me smile. I was driving home the other evening feeling blue and I saw a dog with his head out the window and just living life to its fullest. It was a reminder to me that I need to spend a little…

Today I'm grateful my Mom, Ann, is safely home in New York after receiving her radiation treatment in Oregon. I'm grateful she trusted my sister and me enough to trust we could get her back and forth from appointments, help her rest, and safely house her for three and a half months. I'm grateful for…
Time for Gratitude: February 26, 2016
Today I'm grateful for quiet moments with those I love. The moments where nothing happens except for comfortable silence. The moments that I don't need to fill with chatter. The content moments.

Today I'm grateful for my sister Trish's acceptance of my good moments and bad. She lets me be in a bad mood but keeps me laughing throughout. Thank you for loving me, warts and all.
Time for Memories: Lesson Learned in the Third Grade
As my regular readers know (all four of you), I am always looking for something or inspiration so that I can write. I long ago realized that the people who I have met in my life- for better or for worse- have taught me so much. Whether someone just crossed my path for a moment…
Time to Remember and Honor: Nieve-Sol Smith
I had a cat. My first cat that I knew from kitten to geriatric. Nieve passed away on February 1, 2015. I’ve wanted to write him a memorial since the day he passed away, but can’t seem to adequately convey how I felt about him and how I will remember him always. Strange how I…
Time for Health: January’s Whole 30
My sister, Trish, has finally convinced me to try the "Whole 30" diet. I realize this is the second diet I have referred to on the blog, but believe it or not- I don't do a lot of diets. I attempt healthy eating when it's convenient but I'm not good on diets. I like sugar too…
Time for Gratitude: November 30, 2015
I’m feeling grateful for gratitude. I’ve tried to document my daily grateful for each day in November. The process of thinking upon what there is to be grateful for becomes easier as the days pass. I notice myself thinking about my gratitude for cool air, for pug kisses, for time with family, for socks, for…
