Five Good Things #3

Lately I’ve felt my spirits starting to slip a little for any number of reasons, so I thought it would be a good time for another installment of “good things.”  My first two installments were “10 Good Things,” but I’ve decided to reduce it to five, so as to not overwhelm the writer or the [...]

Moles…and More

If you’ve been a regular reader of this blog, then you’re well aware of My War With The Mole.  If you’re new here, welcome!  Let me just say that this summer I have been having a battle of wits with a persistent and unbelievably annoying mole who haunts my yard and that of my neighbor, [...]

The Bug Conspiracy

I managed to go a long time this year before I finally caved and turned on the air conditioning.  All during that time I slept with my  three bedroom windows wide open and during the day I kept my balcony’s sliding glass door open in order to catch the breeze and enjoy the sounds of [...]

Some Star News…

I was going to do this in one of my Bits and Pieces, but then I figured that it was important enough that it deserved a piece of its own. ONE YEAR AGO TODAY I gave up regular cigarettes in favor of electronic ones.  And, you know what?  I haven’t cheated once! So how has [...]

Forgiveness

I always start out my day by reading the Daily Word put out by Unity because it always carries a positive message and gives me something to think about.  The other day it presented a good analogy about how accumulating resentments is like picking up rocks and putting them in your pocket.  If you collect [...]
