Yours, mine, ours & somebody else’s…

Continuing to remember who I am, I thought I would write more memories about my family life and growing up  because they really play a huge role in shaping us into who we are…
I’m the baby and was seldom told no. My parents decided not to spank me but rather to raise me with psychology. [...]

something wonderful 2

additions to the list…
blushing for a good reason
the smell of rain
seeing someone you’ve missed for the first time in a while
anticipating something good, knowing it’s coming -just not knowing when and the thrill that runs up one side and down the other when it finally does

remembering who I am Part II

Behind every good man there’s a good woman…so they say. Yesterday I started writing  about remembering who I am. That morphed into a post mostly about my dad.  My dad is a good man and my mom is his good woman. Neither of them is perfect. We all have our shortfalls. In spite of and [...]

remembering who I am

For a long time I viewed my childhood as sub par for several reasons… mostly rooted in beliefs about how I “should” have been raised so that I would have turned out a “better” person. As I gain more life experience I’m learning to let go of those idealistic notions. I view the happenings of [...]

What I’m listening to:

I’ve decided to intentionally focus on the positive. This season in my life can easily seem bleak and barren, especially with regard to sensual things… So, I am going to post occasionally (as I think of them) things that fall into the category of something wonderful… life’s simple [...]

Saving my Face…

…well, not really, but that is the name of the song I am listening to right now. I’ve been stuck on it for a day or so. Some people hear a song as a whole, some hear a certain instrument, or focus more on the music rather than the lyrics. Then, there are those like [...]

2 sides

I’ve posted a bunch about the junk going on in my life right now and apparently there are many of you reading it. I did not think so many people would come here and look inside to see what’s on my mind. I posted the link for those of you who were asking me what [...]

“Where I Stood” By Missy Higgins
I don’t know what I’ve done
