Now that sounds like an oxymoron to me. But it doesn’t have to be. Yes, this has been a very contentious election season (started about a year and half ago), with a bunch of six-year-olds calling each other names…but the rest of us can be adults....

The number of colors and textures I see looking out my window this morning is staggering. The moon is bright and huge, the sky is displaying beautiful pastel pinks and blues and grays, the trees are illuminated not only by the moon, but also the rising...

I love my dog. His name is Dapple. He is by my side nearly all the time. His priority list is pretty short. Eat, play, learn and do whatever I ask him to do. He brings me joy……most of the time. The other day I got very angry with him. He ran off. Again....

Did you ever feel like giving up? One of those times when you’ve just had it? You give and give and not only does no one appreciate it, but they just want more. And there is no one who cares about what you need. Have you been there? Have you felt that? I have,...

Some days are good “thinking days”. Most days should be “doing” days, but you have to have some thinking days in there too. Some days just feel like they are made for it. So, when you can, use them for it. Take those times of high mental focus...

I like birds. I always have. I don’t really study them. I confuse sparrows and wrens and the varieties of each. I just like them. It makes me smile when there are a bunch of them sitting on the same power line, facing the same direction, watching the sun set or...

Have you ever just sat quietly and listened? Not sitting quietly to figure something out, not sitting quietly to hear a lecture….just sitting quietly to hear…..life? Our minds are so active all the time, gotta be here, gotta do that, gotta, gotta, gotta....
