It’s a Dog-Love-Dog World
Dog-eat-dog is a phrase to describe how people will do anything to be successful, even if what they do harms others. We don’t have to look far to see that a reality. But, how much more beneficial it is to be in a “Dog-love-dog” world – both in the canine species and the human species.…
In God We Trust
We trust technology. We trust the pilot of our plane. We trust the pharmacist. We trust our doctor. We sort of trust the weather person. We sort of trust our car salesman. We sort of trust God! Yikes! I don’t like that last sentence, because of who and what we trust…..trusting God should be the…
Hot Air or Fresh Air?
Yesterday I blogged about sound quality. Today it’s air quality! I’ve heard enough about hot air balloons with deadly or near death catastrophes, that I question the notion that I once had to take a hot air balloon ride – especially in this Austin HOT AIR. Sure it would be a thrill ride to take…
The P & P Factor
I learn something new every day! This day I learned about the P & P Factor from my daughter, who is in the heat of Texas’ summer, while awaiting electricity to their new property in Rusk, TX. No electricity in that neck of the woods means over-the-top hot days and nights. While overseeing construction, they…
Join Me in my Peace Zone
That’s where I live. That place was modeled for me by my “peace-filled” mom. Tough times didn’t overtake her peace. It almost seemed she was in a bubble of peace that no-one or no-thing could pop that bubble. I’m ever grateful she modeled that peace for me. I know it too. I am adamant about…
What’s Your Name?
Another song blast from the past. “What’s your name? Is it Mary or Sue? What’s your name? Do I stand a chance with you? It’s so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for me. Ooh-ee, ooh-ee, ooh-ee!” I’m grinning from ear to ear as I remember the sweet and tender, but sometimes…
We are Caretakers
Before I moved to my apartment home in this new 55+ community, the question was if I should select an apartment on the fourth floor so I would have a view of a forest of trees which I assumed was a wildlife habitat. But instead, I chose the first-floor apartment for easy access getting in…
My All Sufficient Constant
Yesterday, I was pondering about how simplified my life has become at this season of life. Up at 4:30 am, post my blog for the day, send my “love” text messages to my children, go to the fitness center to work out for an hour, come back home for coffee, breakfast, vitamins, reply to emails…
I’ve Got Friends in High Places
My sweet granddaughter, Alexia, and her Yorkie, Emma, have been here with me for the last few days. I always relish this fun girl time (i.e., girl talk, shopping and eating out). One of our mutual enjoyments is a little thrift shopping. I came home with a great stand for my laptop, and she came home with two…
Tasting is Believing
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream! It all started with my dad cranking that ice cream maker for what seemed forever. But the results were worth the wait — yummy homemade peach ice cream! That’s when my ice cream addiction began. Then, my dad enabled even more love for that tasty…
