Are you out there a bit like me?  I always have this need to be doing something, otherwise, if I rest for long, I feel guilty.  Where the heck did that come from? My father was as easy-going as a turtle in a hurry and my mother, ah!  that’s where it comes from.  Somehow nowContinue reading “The fastidious need to have to be doing something all the time…”

What kind of writer am I? I asked myself that question while reading a book about Rachel Carson, known as the patron saint of the environmental movement.  She wrote about our connection to nature.  So, I thought…what in the world do I write about all the time. Then I said to myself…no cat or dogContinue reading “I write…I write…I type…I type…”

Sometimes you feel that some people are larger than life…of course, no one is…but this morning I just found out that Steve Jobs has passed away, and it felt as if he was. I never met the man, don’t even have one of his products, but somehow tears just keep flowing, I really cannot explainContinue reading “In Honor to the Appleman…”

I always have a choice…do I approach anything in my life, even if it is a pain in le derriere,  with grace or just be a nasty, disgusting being. After 62+ years, I think the choice is obvious.  It is 100% better for me to go with the Pollyanna approach.  Stick it to others and let themContinue reading “Good mood…bad mood…let’s see…which is better for my sanity…”

It is that time of the year whereby in Florida we can leave the doors and windows open without feeling that we are in a sauna.  I took the opportunity to spray for bugs also, so the fumes could escape to the outdoors. I locked my screen doors, because the fear of having unwanted andContinue reading “Open doors in Florida without having to sweat as in a sauna…”

I had decided that Saturday I was going to my local Farmers’ Market because I wanted my veggies to be from somewhere close to my location. It took me around 15 minutes to find a parking spot, and then fight the “in” crowd that takes this opportunity to be seen buying the cool veggies andContinue reading “From Canada with love…directly to my Farmers’ Market in Florida…”

I was watching a show about near-death-experiences and one of the persons that went through that experience said that when she was in this beautiful place, she felt unconditional love towards everything.  That made me think about the meaning of this blessed love. The only example I can use is the love I have forContinue reading “Unconditional love…”

Let the season begin!  Nice cool temperatures in the evening, changing of the color of some leaves, pumpkins on sight, dreams of sipping apple cider on a nice cold evening with friends, stirring it with a piece of cinammon…which movie am I watching? Welcome to Florida…the forever summer land.  Like most of the stuff in ourContinue reading “Signs of the Fall Season…all from a box…”

Well, well…I did not want to talk about this but…It is a jungle down here.  First I dealt with some unwanted visitors that will show up after I had gone to bed, and I will surprise them if I went into the kitchen for water…and oh man, there they were. I fixed those ones allContinue reading “He Tarzan…Me Jane…”

While watching one of my Novelas, one of the characters said to her soon-to-be husband, “when everything goes back to normal….”  This phrase made me think that things are always normal, because it is what we are going through at that moment in particular. If we compare one moment to another, that will bring aContinue reading “…And everything will be back to normal…”
