  • Skippy Tales

    Saturday, March 8, 2008 | A Positive story

    O.K. We are back from the pet emergency clinic. They wanted to keep Skippy there to give him I.V. fluids and a bunch of meds, some x-rays, and watch him over night. They also wanted over $600.00 for all of that!
    Well, by the time we got to the emergency room he hadn't thrown up in about 15 minutes, and the whole time we were there he didn't throw up, so I was thinking maybe he w...

  • Journal Entry for June 25, 2008

    Wednesday, June 25, 2008 | A Positive story

    I know this probably says Wednesday, but I'm writing this on Tuesday....really, I am. . .
    First a little venting....
    My hips give me _ell. They do. They hurt so bad today I was crying. I was stuck on the couch with pain and couldn't get up. I had to try to change positions and then get up when some of the pain went away. It's so strange to me how I can hurt really bad and grit my teeth ...

  • Hard times...regular folks are amazing

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Positive story

    As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess!  I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok.  When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...

    If you can start the day without caffeine,
    If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
    If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

    If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,(this is a tough one)
    If you can take criticism and blame without resentme...

    Monday, October 5, 2009 | A Positive story

    There are days that stink and there are good days. Yesterday stunk, today is good. Hey, guess what? We woke up to SNOW today, yeah, right here in the valley. It is gone of course now, but after I do my home health and Colleen gets back we are going to try and do more mountain pictures. You should see it. Huge rugged granite mountains covered with snow. Below the snow, a wide band of golden aspens...

  • The Gentler Side of My Wally (By Colleen)

    Saturday, November 7, 2009 | A Positive story

    My Wally is a man of many experiences. I love him to death. He has had a real problem with the events lately, especially at Fort Hood, Texas. He was crying and also VERY angry about it. He was prepared to go out and take on the entire Islamic world singlehandedly. It took a lot of prayer and love to calm Wally down. Wally has Marine in his blood. He will never lose it. The USMC is a deep honored ...

So has Colleen. All our stories are different, such ...
