Today was not just any day.  It was my self-proclaimed Positive Day.  This is all part of my grow younger goal--that is to turn back the clock in mind in body. Ever hear some one refer to the old...

Years ago I saw this program on real age.  The author explained that there was a physical age--the number of years you've lived, and a real age--the age you are based on the condition of your body....

Just as I thought, the schedule change made at work has resulted in me not making money.  I'm commissioned and really loved the job, but obviously I'm on the road to unemployment.  At 55, I have no...

I have a name for it now.  For years I tried to understand my father's mental illness.  I knew he was sick, but he just didn't fit into the disorders I read about.  Then last week some...

Over the weekend I spent time looking at the census of 1940.  I found my mother's name and all the relatives who lived in the big rambling house she called home.  I saw the neighbors she played...

My brother-in-law passed away a few days ago.  He was 52.  My great-uncle passed away around the same time.  He was 100.  Strange about that.  One lived his full life, the other only part of it....

We widows/widowers go through an angry period.  For me it was about 6 months after hubby passed.  Now, I'm revisiting this feeling.  I had lunch after leaving my exercise class, a delicious salad,...

August 2nd marks my tenth wedding Anniversary.  I say my because it is no longer ours.  Will this ever get easier?

Got home tired and disgusted about my lagging sales.  Missing my husband so much.  What I'd like to do is head over to some dinner movie house with my husband and watch something we'd both enjoy....

Just realized that I have something in common with that game Angry Birds. There's one bird that gets fat when it touches something.   This bird is great for knocking over structures in tight places...

Went to church this morning.  Felt slim.  Most people in my church are large.  Went to the  health club this afternoon.  Felt huge.  Most people in my health club wear a size 0.  

I'm back to writing, but it's hard.  Memories of my husband getting in the way.  I wrote this just a few months after losing my husband.  It was when the pain was still raw.  It is fictional, but...

84 years old.  Always put himself first.  Extreme jealousy over everyone who is doing better than he.  Can't stand to see anyone with an ounce of money.  This is the person who is my father.  He...

My ex-dad called this morning, leaving a message on my voice mail, demanding that I come over and buy food and medication for him.  He makes over 4000 a month while I'm lucky if I clear 2000.   I'm...
