Bits and Pieces #12

Nothing monumental has happened around here lately, but there are a few little things I thought I’d share and/or discuss with you.
#1 – Adam Lambert. I talked in another post about Adam Lambert’s new album cover and the eyebrows it raised.  And I think I also made it clear that the second runner-up in “American [...]

Giving Thanks

With Thanksgiving looming near, my first impulse was to catalog my many blessings, because there are many.  But, considering that I already do that so often in this blog and in my daily prayers, it almost seems superfluous.  Instead, I want to share this American Indian prayer I came across, which, to me, seems fresh [...]

Shaping My Own Reality

In my part of the country, we’ve just gotten our first taste of winter…several days in a row in the 30’s and 40’s filled with either rain or snow, with occasional heavy winds.  We had day after day of sunless gloom, which can really take a toll on the spirit.  And it’s not even December [...]

The Moles Shall Inherit The Earth

Forget about aliens.  I think the moles are out to take over the earth!  When Babs and I were hiking through neighborhoods way back in the Spring, we saw countless yards completely torn up by these little intruders.   But, what has been stranger to me is that we’ve also seen evidence of their destruction in [...]

A Flu Shot…And More

I woke up Monday with one mission in mind – to get a flu shot!  I decided to start my search at CVS’s Minute Clinic, since they had been so easy to deal with when I had my pink eye.  The good news was that they did have the serum.  The bad news was that [...]

Past Week News…

My eBay Experience

In my post, “The Quiet Tycoon,” I wrote about my friend Iris’s success on eBay and talked about putting these boots up for bid and trying my hand at selling.

Bits & Pieces #11

Hi y’all!  No big dramas happening right now, but lots of little stuff – thoughts, rants, you-name-it, floating around in my brain, so I thought I’d share a bit.
First of all, there’s the flu shot thing.  My friend, Babs and I planned to get our flu shots together last week.  At the last minute, my [...]

Not This Time…

There are so many self-help books and self-proclaimed “life coaches” who do the talk show circuits, trying to tell us all how to live, that it’s easy to simply tune all that stuff out.  I mean, how many times can you hear “Be yourself,” without wanting to scream “WHO ELSE can I be?!!!!”  But, as [...]

A Weather Schizophrenic

Where I live, we have just experienced five or six days of below-average temperature days in which it has been cold, wet, dark and melancholy.  In other words, day after relentless day of gloominess.  It has made me realize what a weather-sensitive person I am.  Almost every day I have woken up, stepped outside to [...]
