Miracle?

Mike had a great couple of posts this past week and it gave me the idea about something that happened to my family… could not swear to the year this occured in but I do know I was in school at the time. This was in the 60’s I think. I will recount this as [...]

A cloud’s silver lining, perhaps.

I keep reading about life’s trials and tribulations. I know, I know, it sometimes seems like there is nothing else. BUT, I keep wondering about something. You see, there is an old expression that has always irritated me, both because it’s true, and because it’s overused: “It builds character.”
But, on the [...]

Smile to start off your Monday!

I was sent this last week and just opened it this morning… yea, I am way behind on my e-mails! But I saw this and just had to share

How do I???

How do I tell someone I care for deeply that they are loved, cherished, and always in my thoughts? How do I tell this person I am sorry for being forgetful? I, at times, get caught up in my own troubles and forget that there are others out there that need my presence at certain [...]

The Warrior Princess by Phoenix

The Warrior Princess
She stood proud and defiant before her peers,
Her heart racing; wise beyond her years,
There would be a war coming soon the elders said,

I am tired of bad news

What is it about bad situations that draws us in? The car wreck on the interstate gets rubberneckers; murder, death, and disaster get TV ratings; the “bad girl/boy” or bad relationship gets all of our attention; we like to see the “mighty”, ie. the rich and famous, fall.

Throwing the baby out with the bath water.

This one is for Brian over at An Audience of One. He asked what the phrase “Throwing the baby out with the bath water” meant. This was also not in the book, (lol) and not surprising! It seems that none of the questions so far have been there! Oh well, maybe the next one. [...]
