I am no victim

Of all the things I have been through and concurred the one thing that holds true for all of them is that I have never felt a victim. Why? Well mostly because I refuse to. I don't want or need people to 'feel sorry' for what I have encountered in life, as far as I'm …

My babies are growing up, but are they?

This roller coaster ride has been quite intense lately. The youngest has finally started doing the work that I thought he was doing but turned out he hadn't. When he finally got onto the online course he hit a 'snag' pretty quickly. He didn't think to ask for help or speak up that he was …

Trigger, triggers everywhere!

I woke up this morning ready to fight, ready to run and scared out of my mind! My brain took me back to a time when I did still experience fear and uncertainty, to a time when I was young and vulnerable and at the mercy of the adults around me. Before the warrior was …

I should be

I should be writing something right now in order to clear my head but currently every second word is profanity! Since that is not my style I will just do this for now and hope it helps!

Do you ever?

Maybe there IS hope!

When I was younger I absolutely hated reading, it was not my thing and I would put off reading anything from school until the very last minute. I don't know what it was exactly, too tedious, too long, too many other things on my mind to concentrate! The only thing worse than reading for me …

Well isn’t that always the way?

We got to go to a Pink Floyd concert this past weekend, well a cover band anyway .... so of course I had to wear my hello kitty Gene Simmons! LOL Found out the day before the concert that Imagine Dragons was playing just across the river from us! Really?? Come on .... To make …

Worth Remembering

Reflecting on your past can bring you insight and planning for the future is wise but be careful not to overlook the here and now. The key to being happy is finding peace in the now and letting it pass us by is a terrible loss. We only get one shot at it, might as …

Well they know some of it now ….

Had a nice thanksgiving dinner here on Saturday, invited my brother and his son and my in-laws. That side isn't doing much anyway and since I'm trying to get as much family spirit as I can together for my brother and his son and the in-laws were free I suggested to the Bear that we …
