Friendships grow out of a shared experience, a shared time, a shared interest. Sometimes you are thrown together unexpectedly, and it turns out that it was a divine appointment. A meeting that was ordained from God. Such was a friendship that began so many years ago. When we arrived in Japan in 1976, we wereContinue reading “A Memory of A Friend…”

Fear Mongering…
This afternoon, hubby and I had a conversation about fear. I had mentioned that everywhere I looked and everything I read had an element of fear. There is no one area of life that is not covered in fear. Fear of health situations. Fear of wearing masks for fear of catching disease, fear of notContinue reading “Fear Mongering…”
Ennui…
I just texted a dear friend and after exchanging our days today, she told me to go write something. I replied that everything seemed negative in my head, but I was trying to get something written. Suddenly I thought of what we are all going through, quarantine. How many words describe quarantine? I turned toContinue reading “Ennui…”
Into the Unknown…
A couple of nights ago, hubby and I watched Frozen 2. This morning I woke up with the refrain from“Into the Unknown” bouncing around my brain. Wish I knew more of the words, but that is for another time. After having my morning coffee, I set out to do my grocery shopping, which I hadContinue reading “Into the Unknown…”
A Light in the Clearing…
I love walking in the woods, well, those woods I know, at least. My favorite poem is by Robert Frost, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” and I find myself quoting it several times. When going for a walk in the woods, you leave the bright daylight and follow a path. This path meandersContinue reading “A Light in the Clearing…”

One day, mid morning ,the phone rang, I answered in tears. It was my friend Cindy, the one who had a babyContinue reading “A Warm Piece of Toast…”
Just Thinking…
Each year at this time I begin to remember and think of what I was doing and where I was. Each year I add another number to the count of the years. Each year I wonder where the time has gone. Tomorrow is my oldest daughter’s birthday. I don’t mind my own birthday, but, hersContinue reading “Just Thinking…”
Another Visit to the V.A.
This morning my hubby had to have some blood work done at the local V.A. (Veteran’s Administration) clinic. We have gone there numerous times and I always sit and people watch. Today was no different. The V.A. is not a place to go if you don’t want to be reminded of what men and womenContinue reading “Another Visit to the V.A.”
Ramblings from a would be writer…
What a week! Not bad, actually, but filled. This post won’t be about anything in particular, but, as the title suggests, it will be a rambling of what is on my mind. A couple of weeks ago I decided that come September 1st, I was going to start to run again. Not a huge decision asContinue reading “Ramblings from a would be writer…”
