To admit or not to admit…to yourself.  Well, I am like a cat fighting going down the trunk of a tree, and leaving claw streaks as I resist gravity and are on my way down.  Down baby, down. There are a lot of things we (baby boomers) are facing as gravity takes a hold of allContinue reading “Many Happy Birthdays’ Syndrome…and Benefits”

The famous guitar…let me give you the story behind this guitar.  It is famous allright. This morning when I got up and opened the shades, what I saw gave me the chills.  But there is nothing I can do, I told myself.  Have to deal with it, have to be positive, cannot shove the houseContinue reading “The guitar”

It feels kind of quiet…perfect Fall weather…ball games going on, people spending what they don’t yet have and so life goes on. Some news from friends facing challenging times with their health, so it makes me ponder on how precious my now moments are.  I need to focus on my blessings and even though thingsContinue reading “Calm after the storm…”

Well…do the picture says it all?  There was the turkey, the glazed carrots, the biscuits, the sausage-stuffing muffins (first time ever and to die for, literally), regular potatoes, sweet ones, I even ate the skin for the first time too.  Tastes very good.  Learned a lot about sweet potatoes from Lisa Johnson of the YummyContinue reading “The aftermath…how many extra pounds”

Are you ready for the turkey?  The bird and the other kind, you know what I mean.  Humor early in the writing, so it is out of the way. I have been invited to join a friend and her family for dinner, so I am bringing a salad.  I am fortunate enough that I don’t have toContinue reading “Ready for the Tryptophan effect?”

All and each one of us are very important to the way the story is going to be told.  I am thankful for each individual, and situations (good or else) that I have faced in my life, because all of these ingredients have made me who I am today.  Hopefully a better person. I amContinue reading “Thank You God for all of us…”

Happy Monday to you!  Most of the day is gone, so let’s breathe a bit easier. Today, I added a new page to my blog.  “Food/Aliment”  I am always trying to learn a new thing and let’s see how this section is going to work.  I don’t know yet, but let’s experiment together. Hopefully inContinue reading “Pushing the envelope as usual”

Wow!  If He needed a rest, I am not going to be so arrogant as to think that I should keep this thing going every day. All of us need rest, no questions about it.  I am going to watch college football, the shopping channels (to learn new technology), not to shop, and my favoriteContinue reading “Rest on the sixth or seventh day?”

Happyville is a place of three inhabitants.  I, me, and myself.  This is a place that I discovered in my journeys through  FrustrationLand, WorryVille, and SadnessPlace.  Once I found it, I became a resident of this peaceful (most of the time) place. Usually,  life is not what we want it to be.  I read inContinue reading “Been in Happyville?”

I don’t know about you, but as I get more happy birthdays, I am trying to eat and do what is supposed to be good for me. Well, when Albert Einstein was working on his project with neutrons, protons electrons and the nucleus,  creating mini explosions, so he could  find an answer as to how theContinue reading “Eating what is good for you…but”
