I ate a pie Sunday.  Not a slice.  Not two slices. I ate a pie.  Today I ate a bag of candy.  It was small and washed down by 15 cookies and a bag of popcorn.  I'm addicted to food.  Sweets. ...

I've learned something about myself:  I hate being alone, especially on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  This epiphany happened because yesterday at work, there were no customers. Doesn't take a...

Years ago, I had someone tell me that they loved me and needed me in his life.  I told him that I loved him and wanted him in my life. The guy wasn't happy with my answer, but it was the truth.  I...

I was a wife, a stepmother, a grandmother.  I was the woman behind the man.  I was his partner in business.  I was the woman he'd planned to retire with, build a  home with, travel with.  We...

Friday and Saturday are the hardest days for me.  So many people out on the town with someone, and me sitting here alone.  So tonight, I decided to do some websurfing and ended up reading about the...

I'm making slow cooker chili.  A simple task, but one not quite thought out.  I almost bought two pounds of beef and there's only me.  I had to adjust the recipie.  Now, my problem is that...

I went to visit my step-daughter and her familyt today.  It was nice, reminding me of how lucky I am to still have them in my life.  I have two beautiful grandchildren and a nice son-in-law.  I...

It's six months since DH passed.  Seems incredible.  My life is so different from last year.  Here I sit, in a new apartment, with all new furniture.  I'm writing in front of a fireplace that...

Tony Curtis is gone.  I was such a fan of his when I was a child.  I thought he and Jack Lemmon were just the cuties actors in Hollywood. Last year around this time, my husband treated me to a...

 Okay, here it is, this is gonna sound crazy, but I'm living in an apartment with blank walls, yet everyday I see a thousand things I'd like to hang on them.  Why?  Well, the answer is...

I'm still thinking about the dream I had last night--the one where I got to see my husband pass again.  Horrible.  So today I'm thinking about death and why we live.  I know I'm here to do the...

I've often read that as a person dies they see people who have passed before them.  I've also heard and read that people who clinically die, and are later revived also report seeing relatives.  I...

Sometimes you have to go through hell in order to recognize the little bit of heaven in your life.  I lost my husband in March and in July I moved in with my dad.  That's was when I was at my...

Many of you may know that I gave my father a puppy recently.  I had it trained before giving it to him because at 82, it's his first dog and he knew nothing about training it.  I've spent a fortune...

So many times I've read about people in our group arguing about this or that.  Althought I've never been a part of it, I've spent a lifetime arguing with my father.  Then I read a book that changed...
