This is difficult for me to do. I too often fail to see the forest for the trees, and I sometimes don’t know up from down. Part of this is likely due to my Aspie traits, where I get absurdly … Continue reading Balance… Keeping Things In Perspective
One thing that is critical to a satisfying life is to have dreams. Without dreams, we would certainly never hope to find our true place in this world. For most of us, the path to our destination in life is … Continue reading The Path To Your Destination…
This post will be one of those off-the-wall ones, so be warned. All my life I have always had the feeling that there is a whole other reality out there. The simplest way I can describe it is that when … Continue reading A Whole Other Reality…
I still remember reading the book Great Expectations in my early teenage years. It was a book written by Charles Dickens in 1861 about an orphan named Pip. It was unusual in that it was written in a first-person narrative. … Continue reading Low Expectations…
The title of this post has been a fundamental question I have asked myself throughout my life. But, it seems lately that that question has come to the forefront with the word “Still” plastered across it. I know you are … Continue reading Why Am I Here?

The title of this post has multiple meanings. It was once a TV show about a single Indianapolis mother who was raising two teenage girls.

I am … Continue reading One Day At A Time…
