The Waves of Grief

It hasn't been a good time.  Sometimes life will throw some unpleasant stuff our way.  At times we go through it with flying colors, unscathed emotionally. Other times it stops us in our tracks and just doing normal, routine things are a big chore. The other night everything got to...

When joy is gone

Joy is gone from our hearts;  our dancing has turned to mourning. Lamentations 5:15 I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, the sound of millstones and the light of the lamp. Jeremiah 25:10 "When you've seen...

Getting the groove back

    Get serious with your life?  Really? Seriously, I still don't have a complete grasp of what I want to do when I grow up.  The big picture is a lot more focused, however, there is so much in between getting there and here in the today. Although I had joined the...

Deliriously Happy in the Midst of Blahs

Stop Me

An old love from the past had come back into my life.  It was an unresolved issue that haunted me most of my adult life.  He had joined the military and never came back . . . well, not until many years after I became a widow.  We had a second chance for a future together when he...

The blahs are back

I've been on a roll of blah days and I don't know why.  It just happens . . . everything is fine and you wake up one morning and it hits you in the face . . . the blahs.  Well, maybe I do know what got it going this time, but it has continued for way too many days.   I'm struggling...

Blah blah blahs

They creep up upon you out of nowhere . . . and I’ve been hit with them . . . the blahs. Aren’t we all afflicted with this condition at times? You could possibly call it a lazy weekend since the change in the weather has been bringing on sinus headaches . . . I’ve lost my “mo” . . . generally feel...
