I hope you will enjoy my 101 feelings of joy and inspiration from my life today. I was born in 1950, I will save you the math, I am 67 years old as of today. I know people have been writing about what they are thankful for recently, but today it’s all about joy and inspiration. I was born in California and have lived a fairly simple frugal life since the day I was born. I was 18 months old when my birth father was diagnosed with Polio. He was in an iron lung for many months. My older sister and I were farmed out to relatives since my mother had to quickly become the breadwinner. Sometime later, my sister was diagnosed with the same disease but didn’t require an iron lung. [Read more…]
What Is Wrong With People-Can We Just Get Along?
November 4, 2017 by 35 Comments
What is wrong with people, can we just get along? This statement isn’t the first time we’ve heard it. I try to never write anything controversial on my blog. I’m nice, yes, nice. Do I get ticked off sometimes, of course, I do. But I will not go on a rampage and post on FaceBook, or Tweet negative comments. I scroll through FaceBook and sometimes think to myself, wow, are these people super angry or what? I then unfollow AND unfriend that person. I wonder why I ever followed them in the first place. Some of the people pop up that I don’t even know. Thank goodness I can move on to other things when they are so angry and I don’t have to deal with them or their approach to things. I don’t need that in my life. You’ll understand about the hot chocolate below.
21 Things You Need To Think About Before Divorcing
June 2, 2017 by 8 Comments
I have 21 things you need to think about before divorcing. My parents divorced when I was about seven years old. My mother picked my two sisters and me up from school early one day and I remember because I was sad I would miss the end of the year class party. We piled in the station wagon filled with clothes, toys and whatever and she told us we were going to see our grandmother for a few weeks. Well, after three months, I said to my mom “when are we going to see daddy?” I don’t remember when she told us she was divorcing our father. This was before we had cell phones, emails, and social media. Years ago before cell phones, you had to pay per minute to make “long distance” calls, so there wasn’t a chance for me to call my dad and talk with him. Wow, how things have changed. It’s probably more expensive today with the cost of cell phones, but we won’t go there right now.
10 Things You Can Do For The Elderly
May 29, 2017 by 4 Comments
The reason I want to share 10 things you can do for the elderly today is that I live by a lot of elderly people. Mark and I went to a surprise birthday party last night for a dear friend that turned 85 years old yesterday. His wife, Lyn sent the invitations through the mail so her husband, Vern would have NO idea he would celebrate his birthday with so many close friends. Here’s the deal, first of all, you would never guess he is 85 years old. He is the guy in the neighborhood digging holes for trees, dragging the branches from trees he has cut down for people, and he would help anyone anytime. Yes, he has a bad back but that doesn’t stop him. He is truly an angel for the people who live near him. Everyone loves Vern and Lyn!
