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...

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...

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...
