Most of us Americans will always remember where we were and what we were doing when the September 11, 2001 attacks occurred. Even if you don’t, it is a day to contemplate and remember.
RIP John Dye
Through the years, one of my favorite TV shows was “Touched By an Angel.” No matter how difficult things were in my personal life, I could always count on being uplifted by watching an episode of that show. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the show, John Dye played the part of Andrew, the male angel of death who guided people from this life to the next. He played the part so well that even though I’ve seen him in other shows since, I always think of him as Andrew.
Tell Someone You Care With a Text
Tonight I was listening to one of my favorite singers, Reba McEntire. As I was listening to one of the songs, I realized that every time I listen to it I think of one of my daughters and how proud I am of her. So, I picked up my phone and sent her a short text telling her that. She texted back and we had a great, albeit short, conversation.
Stress Relief – I Think I Can Help
One of the biggest issues I face as a woman is stress. No matter how many things are going well in my life, there is always stress in some area. Since I know that I am not the only woman who faces this, I have decided to create a new web site to provide encouragement and stress relief to women of all ages. I plan to make it a one-stop resource for stress relief and stress management tools and ideas for women.

Catching Up
It’s been a long time since I posted anything. I would think of something I wanted to say and then responsibility would call and off I’d go. Somehow, I never got back to my blog. Of course, the holiday season is always a little more hectic but this year my family faced other challenges as well. We had a long stretch of bad weather, so much snow and ice we couldn’t really get out to do anything. Then, there were the medical mishaps and close calls. We’re still in the middle of some of that now but I’m making posting more a priority as well.
A Different Thanksgiving
Normally my husband and I spend Thanksgiving day with some of our family. This year we were planning to spend it with my mother-in-law and just have a quiet day. We even changed our menu from turkey to chili because we’ve all been so busy lately and we didn’t want to do a lot of cooking. Well, the day turned out to be quieter than I expected.
I’m Back After a Long Break
It’s been a while since I posted. Seems like one thing or another kept popping up and keeping me from writing. As I’ve mentioned before, I watch my grandchildren at least five days out of every week. Adjusting to this schedule has been a challenge for me and my online writing has suffered as a result.
Life Perspective -Time Changes Things
Yesterday my seven-year-old granddaughter lost one of her top two front teeth. To be 100% correct, my husband pulled out her very loose tooth. It was actually rather comical watching her throughout the day. She kept wiggling that tooth until it was literally hanging by a thread. However, she was afraid to pull it out because she thought it would hurt too much. Of course, when her Papa actually pulled it out, it didn’t really hurt at all.
