Tis the Season
Yesterday I was watching the shoppers hustle through the store searching for gifts or whatever they need for the holiday. Some had baskets full others were picking up items looking at the price and setting it back in place. My thoughts took over and immediately thought about the person checking prices. Why did they set…

LOVED
I read that it is better to love than be loved. I thought about it for a minute and at first I did not agree, but as I sat and ran this statement through my mind and soul it was absolutely a true statement. Love lives within us and when we love it radiates to…

Sinking In
As I wake up and live this life I was given, it’s been Sinking In lately that I’m older, I’m aging, I don’t feel the same as my younger self, everything I think is different and everything I do, I do different. Is this the case for most people as they age? Do most people…

WHAT IS GOING ON?
Yesterday we got some news about another friend that has lung cancer. This same person just recently lost a sister to the same thing. That makes three people in our circle that have been diagnosed with the deadly C word. Two of them were smokers, the other a former smoker. Why is it that so…

MOMENTS
By: Kristine Baer Sitting in the dark a tear falling down my cheek, am I strong or does this make me weak? My body carries the burdens and the stress of the day, I try to be strong but moments make me sway. Music is on and songs fill my mind, my eyes are closed…

BATTLES
The thing about life is you are given battles to conquer. These battles make you the person you are today. Everyone keeps saying I don’t know how you deal with medical issues, illness and death. It’s not that I’m dealing with them, they are my battles. I chose to be a warrior and fight my…

I Wish
I wish that when I was younger I had someone to tell me how to save for retirement, how to manage my money, how life would be when I got older and how to make the best out of all situations. I wish I had changed things earlier in life so you look at us…

HOME
This post is something I didn’t really want to be typing about, but here it is. My friend lost her battle with cancer on November 11th. She chose a path of immunotherapy to fight the lung cancer. The immunotherapy was ultimately the reason she isn’t with us today. From the first treatment, I knew in…

UNFOLD
As I get older and try to find a reason for all the bad in my life, it has started to UNFOLD lately. Maybe I’m here living this life, good or bad, so when someone close to me has a difficult situation in their life similar to mine, I can help them through it. I’ve…

Darkness
Trying to be the light in the darkness for my friend has been a real challenge. As I have posted before, I am a need to know person. When things happen and results are uncovered, I research. I must know the outcome even if it’s not what we all need to see or hear. This…

PATIENCE
After the last post about the Phone Call, I am learning to be patient with everyone including myself. I’m a person who needs answers right now. I’m a person who wants things done right now. Even if I seem like I’m calm, easygoing and ready to take on everything, I am not a very patient…

The Phone Call
On September 4th I received a text message from my my best friend’s daughter, “Mom needs you!” I was at one of my favorite pizzerias getting dinner for us because my son was in town for a few weeks. I responded with What’s up and I already knew the condition she was in had gotten…

LISTEN UP
Yesterday I was asked a question and it had me thinking all night and the answer I gave him was my honest feelings but it wasn’t good enough for that person. I’ve been asked this several times by this person and last night after the conversation my mind was going over why it keeps being…

IT’S Who I AM
My whole life I have been a giver, it’s just who I am. I like the satisfaction of making people happy. I like when I do something for someone and they always remember no matter how big or small. The feeling warms my whole being and brings joy to my heart. I don’t want recognition.…

Where I Am
Today I am here, tomorrow I don’t know where I will be, does anyone? Do you ever sit and wonder how I got here? Is there Where I Am supposed to be? Is this life real? Where is it I am going? Sometimes I feel I’m in limbo and not going anywhere in life, then…

SCROLLING
Scrolling through the lives of others on Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat and Tik Tok had me thinking deeply this morning. Social media has a hold on everyone. The world has become technology dependent. It seems I know more about a person from the internet than I do about them in person. Twenty some years ago, we…

FISHING
Today we chose to go fishing with two of our friends. They think we are just fishing, it’s not so. I am watching, listening, taking in each moment of the day. Joe and I started out at 5:30 am driving to the bait shop to get some crawler harnesses, because that’s what was needed for…

We Did It
This is the update to Winging It, WE DID IT. We packed the car up and headed to the Sunshine State. Joe decided to drive and that was a little nerve racking for me, as I’m so used to doing all the driving for the past four years. I decided to sit back and take…

Coping
Why is it that COPING with life isn’t ever easy? People ask me all the time, How do you cope with all this?. My usual response is, I just do. But is that the truth? For the most part it is the truth, you just have to do it because the alternative isn’t any better.…

WINGING IT
We were asked to go on a trip with my son and his girlfriends family. They planned a family trip and a few people backed out and we were asked to filled the vacancies. At first I was a little hesitant, go figure I’m usually the one saying YES to everything, not this time. It…
