"I'm sorry that I left you. That I took off and forsook you. I'm sorry that I chose to misunderstand you. I'm sorry for being a butte when it mattered the most not to be. I'm sorry that I never went back to see you again. To tell you that I really missed you. I'm sorry that I let you down. I'm sorry I was unkind. I'm sorry that It seemed like I forgot you. … [Read more...]
Thoughts & Reflections/Past & Present
This is a black Christmas tree from the prior Christmas, 2019--I just put everything on it this time in a humbug kind of way when I decorated it, this now, last year of 2020. Unless you're standing up close to this tree, it looks dark green--from a few feet away. It ended up being a pretty tree. A picture doesn't do it justice. I had already decided to keep this tree up … [Read more...]

Happy 4th to you!
What is-- love. ? Seriously. Everyone, everybody, has their idea of it-- throwing in different facets of the very word. Maybe, just maybe, it's not one description. Perhaps, perhaps, it's what one can accept, tolerate, not be so much a perfectionist about. And, maybe, it's what you know you want or not at all. Nobody can decide it but each person to … [Read more...]
Live & Let Live [30]
Be a person for all people. Truly be humanitarian, not out for oneself.When someone tells you that they're too busy to confirm anything, it says that they don't attach value to you. Dust yourself off.There's a way to communicate, and it's definetely not avoidance.We're at home, stay-at-home orders, but we still have phones and computers to communicate. No excuse not."Do not … [Read more...]
Turning the Other Cheek
Turning the other cheek... Sometimes hard to do. We have our own set of opinions, rights, and yeah--feelings--"We the People". Do you have COVID-19?-- The year, 2019; not the number of COVID. Seriously laughing out loud about that one... I find these people as being the smitten image of Trump, himself (coincidentally or not), the bullish President/his … [Read more...]
Dirty Politics
We're not in this altogether. We're on separate sides. We don't like each other. In fact, we hate each other. The difference between sides: people who pretend/are misled by a vain leader v. the people who are brutally honest. We're divided. We might be related in some way, or at one time were. We could have attended the same school building in our … [Read more...]
Live & Let Live [29]
This picture was taken so long ago. My father had cancer. But, at that time, he did not tell me. Not even through a long distance phone call. I finally knew, was told, in his last four years or so. I lived far away from him. The joy and love between a grandchild and a grandparent--indescribable really. Just as much a pleasure to see and listen to their … [Read more...]
