Are we anonymouse?......

I know....

a weird play on words....

But it begs the question..

Are we mice or women?

Do you share your blog with your family?

I was "surfing" and found the question via

Andrea at

My Rocket Science....

I have shared with my son, and one friend that lives out of state.

and my husband, who probably doesn't ever look at it.

My life is an open book to these three.

Sometimes I use this as a safe spot to vent feelings.

Usually my feelings are pretty apparent, anyway,

but occasionally, I just want to let it all hang out.

Not everyone can handle my venting.

My son is an old soul, and has wisdom beyond his years...

he blogs too.....

My friend probably doesn't have the time to read me much.

She is "Uber-busy".

Is it cowardly to keep these blogs from our family?

I don't think so....

Everyone needs a place to be completely themselves, without

fear of recriminations..

I find sharing with those who only know me here

to be very freeing.

Thank you.

Good Karma.....

This is Heather and Sandy....

Cute couple, huh?

Sandy is battling complications from surgery...

Heather has been by his side almost constantly....

I wish I could help.

So....

here it is.

I believe in Good Karma, Positive Thoughts,

Positive Energy.....

If you have just 30 seconds...

could you please look at this photo,

see the joy...

and think to yourself

"This happiness will continue"

That's all.

I believe that the universe responds in kind.

Good thoughts create good outcomes,

what ever they might be......

The feeling that we are powerless,

might be an illusion....

we might have extraordinary power in

our thoughts...

Thank you.

Father....

I am so grateful for my father....

His guidance....

his honesty...

his trust...

his love...

I now realize how lucky I truly am...

Today I am having him over for dinner...

along with assorted family from both sides,

but it is he that I am the most grateful for.

Happy Father's Day!

Thank you.......

my

love

for

you.

Unfair......

Well......

it is so easy to get caught up in the mundane worries of everyday life.

Then something weird...

strange....

unexpected....

scarey......

frightening....

horrible.....

unfair.....

Yes...unfair seems to work the best,

well something unfair happens.

When it happens to people close to you,

it is very easy to assume the role of "chief critic".

So easy to think that our thinking is the correct and just thinking.

My ego tells me that I have a "clue".......

That I know what should happen to all involved......

that I would arrange the play differently.

My friends are dealing with a difficult,

impossible, UNFAIR situation.

It is unfolding at the hospital, as I write.

No one knows what to do.

The doctors, bless their hearts, really do not know what to do.

(and they admit it.....)

So....what do we do when we find ourselves in this situation?

Pray.

Young love........

Matt and Chelsea...

two sweet young adults.....

working hard on their future....

too shy to ask for help...

too smart to need much...

I am so fortunate to have them in my life.

They are smart, easy to be with.....

so in love.

Remember that?

How difficult it was to think of anything else?

So exciting to be together....

Young love......ahhhh.....

Who could compete with these beauties?

Truth stranger than fiction....

reality better than man-made.....

Nature at her best.....

What can I say?

These hydrangeas are right outside my front door.

They blow me away every time I walk out......

I absolutely love them.

I really want to cut them all and bring them inside,

where it isn't 95 degrees and humid.

But then I think they just might like that

sort of sauna saturated stuff.

I don't.

I have hot flashes.

If you have had hot flashes, you know.

If you haven't, just wait.

If you are a man,

why are you still reading?

Smiles!
