    Atheist unite!!

    this is where I fall too. I could probably attend a church that had curiosity and an objective look at the old texts and why they were written in the first place. Sadly, the religions I have been exposed to tend to snuff out anything like a questioning of THE RULES. I am best suited to an open...

    One Thing That Made You Smile Today?

    getting a handle on the source of guilt in my life and seeing that it too can be overcome. Lifting that veil and seeing a new horizon is almost enough to get past the self blaming. Almost. Enough to let me break out a little shadow of a grin. More to come, that's the smile today. Enough

    What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Sam Cooke had a great voice and i ended up playing his library tonight and “ You Send Me” just plain shut me down and made me listen. It was a great mix with a young clear voice. New appreciation for it, but i couldnt tell you about a time that it hasn't been familiar, cool when that happens.

    Pets & PTSD

    dogs. Most of my life I would have told you that my dog was my best friend. If you are young and curious with room to roam, you need a dog if for no other reason than they will come home alone if you are in trouble or just asleep in the shade by the pond for too long. They were my liaisons into...

    What Are You Grateful For Today?

    That i met a man last weekend that has given me a solid week of feeling like I have it pretty good. That is something we miss in today's culture, we don't want to know anyone we don't have to know most of the time, and getting into a conversation with a stranger is a rare thing. We met through...

    Quitting my job - I cannot live my life settling for things that make me miserable.

    i was offered early retirement and easily decided to stay on doing what i love, except now it is tarnished by the thought- what if i am missing out on something better? Hard to get past that one. i respect the decision, better is better.

    Current Weather

    drove home in a wintery mix of rain and snow, saw that i needed to fill the wood box so i pushed a wheelbarrow through 2 inches of standing water out to the woodshed and loaded it and pushed it back to the woodbox on the porch, grabbed a piece and went inside to toss it in the stove. I took off...
