I wasn’t sure what I was going to write about today. I did not want to write about my tale of woe. I am tired of hearing it, but do understand that sometimes I am going to need to get it out. But I’m tired of hearing it. I have been sharing less of it …

I managed to make it through yesterday and today, thanks to one of my cousins coming to visit me and keeping me occupied. That was nice, and it mostly kept my mind off of the elephant in the room. I have noticed that today I’ve developed a tremor in my right hand. Not only is …

The good news is that something changed for me on Thursday of last week. I may have mentioned it. It is like the sadness and grief took on another tone, one perhaps more tolerable. I say that almost not believing it, because it isn’t any constant relief, but it is at least different. I have …

I will admit that I got mad this morning when reading a FaceBook post from a male I know regarding the court’s ruling on the “Hobby Lobby” case. I use the term mad, to be honest I was fired up! Now I don’t know what specifically got me fired up, but I know it had …

This time, I am NOT going to say that I am “back” or going to “post daily.” Apparently I just need to take it day by day, just like many of you do. I have normal obligations like cleaning, taking care of my family, work (a 3D job), etc. This year I discovered that it …
