trust in the journey

October 31, 2008 – 9:32 pm

I’ve been thinking about those words ever since they accidentally popped out of my keyboard last week. I’ve tried writing about it – it’s been on my computer screen practically all day. My thoughts are not coming together. It’s a truth I recognize. I can’t be constantly second guessing myself. Still, it’s far too trite [...]

vintage

October 28, 2008 – 3:24 pm

Is there anything better than a good source of vintage clothing? The prices can’t be beat for virtually new clothes – particularly when they come straight out of your closet! I knew I was losing some weight but, as I’ve said before, I don’t own a scale. Some days I really feel like I’ve lost [...]

punny

Do you know why the chicken crossed the playground? Why, to get to the other slide, of course. Do you know what it was called while the chicken was crossing the playground? Poultry in motion…

live up to your gifts

October 24, 2008 – 4:07 pm

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” ~Oscar Wilde Fridays are, right now, the day I think the most about what I’m going to write. Here is the process. me: OMG, it’s Friday! What am I going to write about? Then I look back over my week and try to find what I have learned. [...]

black hills

October 22, 2008 – 10:32 pm

For anyone interested, I’m starting to upload some of my Black Hills and Wyoming photos from years gone by to Flickr. I’ve always meant to do something with them rather than the old geocities gallery. The quality is not great but I think it still shows the pretty area. Black Hills Set I think this [...]

equal time

October 21, 2008 – 8:57 pm

Apparently there is some law about giving multiple cats equal time in front of the camera. Petee came in tonight and hopped up on the dresser, clearly wanting his picture taken. So, here he is in all his glory.

weekend fluff blogging

October 18, 2008 – 5:50 pm

It’s been a long time since I managed to post a new photo of Miss Stasia for weekend cat blogging. Busy, busy, busy… that’s me. But there she was, looking adorable and fluffy. Who could resist snapping a photo of the fluff-monster? So have a happy weekend from Stasia and me.

it happens

October 17, 2008 – 4:42 pm

Is it too prosaic to include “shit happens” in my Zaxioms? The truth is that bad things happen. Unhappy things happen. I can stay locked into yesterday’s very bad day or let go and get on with the next thing. I’m not saying it’s easy. Looking at the future of this disease is ugly. I [...]

in the mists

October 16, 2008 – 10:59 pm

“In Alzheimer’s [disease] the mind dies first: Names, dates, places-the interior scrapbook of an entire life-fade into mists of nonrecognition.” -Matt Clark Today was a very bad day. There is little of amusement or joy to tell, little that makes me smile as I sit, preparing to find my way through this story. It seems [...]

foolin’ myself

October 14, 2008 – 11:57 pm

I went to my first weight loss surgery support group last night. It wasn’t bad. In fact, it was kind of energizing. It’s wonderful to hear people who have been through the process and how happy they are with the changes they’ve made. A lot of the group was people just like me, in the [...]
