I’m laughing at myself this morning because we are so territorial when it comes to our spots on the beach. Anyone else? We get down there at sunrise and set up in “our” spot (yeah, we’re those people, kind of like having “your” pew at church), we’re all good, got our stuff spread out, all

Book: The Book Thief
I am determined to take chances and read a few books by authors I’ve never heard of. This was my first and I’ve since learned it’s a fairly well-known book and a movie! I live in a bubble. I was not so sure how I felt when I first started it because the author’s writing
Beautiful butterfly.
Do you wake up with people on your heart? I do and some days the list is short and others so long it is painful. Maybe as you read this, someone comes to mind, someone who is hurting and you feel so helpless. I woke up with this on my heart this morning and as
Make sweet the sound.
From the waves in my hair (lawd!) to the waves of the sea, all those gray streaks keep staring back at me. From freckles as uncountable(!) as the sands on the shore, I don’t think my body has a spot for one more. From suntan lines to the lines in my face, time and living
Those Darn Daffodils.
So I want to tell you about something that happened a while back. As I type it, it seems silly today, but at the time it was a big deal for me. My sweetheart and I have a crazy story, go figure. Some of you know parts of it, none of you know all of
Some Days.
SOME DAYS…. I can be the happiest person in the world, life is good and sweet. And in an instant, it all can change, and that’s not the person you meet. I’ll be smiling and content as anyone could be, but inside I’m fighting back tears hoping no one will see.
Letting Go: Fear of Time
I don’t know about you but with each trip around the sun, I learn more and more about things that don’t matter, things I can’t control, and how to face the fears that have been holding me back. Probably at the top of my ‘fear list’ has been time. We can’t control it so why in
Be Like Peanut Butter.
Peanut butter was just not meant to be spread too thin. . . neither are you! When there’s not enough of you, you are short-changing everyone including yourself. When you can’t say no, when you need to feel needed even at the price of exhaustion, when you don’t want to disappoint anyone… you wind up
If I make it to 101.
Things I’m learning… If I live to be 101, it will not be because I was on the computer all hours of the day and night, but because of all hours of the day and night I spent laughing and spending time with myself and those I love. If I live to be 101, it
Don’t change.
I am a doggone likeable person. I mean I AM realistic and know everyone doesn’t or can’t like me in the whole wide world, that’s not possible, but to my face at least, I don’t know of any enemies. I just kind of get along with everybody and I think I’m nice to everybody. But….
Southern Handful.
I am a big ol’ southern handful for some people. I know it, I own it, I admit it, and I kinda wanna apologize for it, and Lord knows, I have many a time, but I’m trying to learn not to. I am who I am. I am loud sometimes. I laugh with a
Just a few things…
Just me and my crazy thoughts. A FEW THINGS A WOMAN DESERVES . . . ~Enough money to always take care of herself even if she doesn’t think she’ll ever need it. ~A bucket list that actually gets checked off. ~Something perfect to wear if the man of her dreams says he’ll pick her
