Still arguing with my father, but I'm getting smarter.  I figured he's elderly, but in good shape.  He's basically a child in an adult body.  An only child, his mother indulged him, never saying...

You can't snuggle with him.  You may want to reconsider kissing him.  But the best pet for me right now is a bird.  Used to be that I enjoyed a dog.  But my husband is gone so there's no one to...

The other day I realized how much I've changed since losing my husband.  Before I was somewhat like a shrinking violet, always wanting to be nice, never confronting rude people.  But now, I just...

I'm 53.  I have no children.  No dog or cat.  My husband passed away in March.  I live alone. I've never been lonely. That may sound strange coming from me.  But it's true.  I'm a 53 year old...

I finalized the paperwork on my husband's car.  My father wanted it, so I paid it off and gave it to him.  He really misses my husband and wanted something that belonged to him.  I have no idea...

Funny.  Sometimes you don't see things until someone else has the same problem.  I'm refering to my new group Caring For Aging Parents.  One of the members was asking how to help her 60 year old...

I had a nice day today.  Guess that says it all.

Pain grips me.  All up and down my left arm.  It's not a heart attack, but it's like a cramp on my left side.  Not scary at all.  I know it's caused from the stress of these past few days so I...

I didn't have children, but I'm the proud grandma of two.  Some would call them steps, but for me, they're my grandkids.  Doesn't matter if we look nothing alike.  I was thinking of them today at...

I'm feeling better today.  A visit from my family did the trick.  Nothing like the delightful smile of my 1 year old granddaughter to lift my spirits.  She is such a sweet child. 

It's one of those days where I'm really missing my husband.  I'm working too much.  Most of the time it's 11 hour days, so there's no chance to socialize or make new friends.  I work, I eat, I...

I wasn't always a Christian.  By that I mean, I went to church, followed the moral laws, but I didn't really follow Jesus Christ.  I could have attended any church.  I dated people of different...

I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, but I was once legally blind.  I wasn't born that way.  The disease stole my eyesight slowly until I couldn't see anything from my left eye.  I t...

I just got back from my granddaughters birthday party.  It was her first.  She had three set of grandparents there, all couples except for me.  I sat there watching her play with her presents,...

I was asked a question recently by a co-worker.  He knows that I'm a Christian who believes the bible is without error.  He was confortational, spiting out the usual 'we Christians are horrible...
