- It has been almost three years since I lost my parents, two weeks apart. You know, I have written that now perhaps a 100 times, yet, when I look at it, I still shake my head in shock. There is a part of me that still can't believe it. There is a...
- There doesn't seem to be anything going on here and I am wondering if this site has run it's course. People seem to have gone off in their own directions and for a long while, only two or three people kept it going by continuing to post.I know...
- Oooo! First post of the New Year! Happy New Year! I am getting ready to start the year afresh, and I hope, get back to work. Actually put paint to canvas again. In more ways that one. To do it literallty and get some new paintings done. And to do it...
- Dear Oline Family,I wanted to wish all of you a Happy Holidays. I don't post much sometimes, as I tend to withdraw during this time of years, but I come and read here all the time,l and enjoy and appreciate the posts and the knowledge that you are...
- This is a very difficult time of the year for me. Christmas was always a favorite time for my mother, and so I associate it with her. As he got older and he relaxed a bit, my father got into it too. When my mom started slipping a bit, he took up her...
- My husband and I were having dinner out this week. I mentioned to him that I had not been to that side of town for two years practically. It was where my parents lived. He paused and said he wanted to tell my something but wasn't sure if he should....
- I had a big lesson this morning in tolerance. And in myself and my attitudes. We had new neighbors move next to us several years ago. We live in a small, private drive with only about 9 homes on it. As soon as they moved in, they started building...
- A couple of weeks ago, I turned on my computer in the morning and it did not boot up. It gave me the two dreaded options of reformatting my hard drive or gonig back to factory settings. Neither appealed to me. I chose the second and the chaos...
- I got through the second anniversaries of my parent's deaths.It was brutal. It was not helped by the fact that at this time my sister choose to move out of state. Now, it certainly was her choice. she has a lot on her own plate. She had always said...
- I was thinking this morning about integrity. While reading about our local favorite son Leon. We all love him around her and now, the country knows the quality of person he is. Why so admirable? Because he follows a moral compass he has set for...
- My anniversary of my father's death was last week, and this week, my mother's. For whatever reason I picked this time to have surgery on my little doggie. I took him to the vet, pretty much knowing what he'd say. But I had the cloud of dread...
- As I have said, in my journal, this week was the second anniversary of my father's death. Thursday is was. I did my personal memorial, by myself. It was hard but I hustled on back home afterwards for some privacy. One reason I had to was because,...
- As I was reading about the situation 1Ness with your SIL, I have been thinking back about all of us here and our situations. We all seem to have one (or more) of people like this in our lives. I think everyone does. They like us just the way we have...
- Almost two years ago, I lost my parents. My sister, who lives 10 minutes away from me, came together at that time, to get through it. Sort of. I was, because her husband is very ill, not expected to get better, was in charge of their affairs. I...
- I am struggling with the second anniversary of my parent's deaths approaching. I am back working again at least. The painting actually feels good again. It remains hard though.I am wondering though, how am I really doing. I still cry off an on. I...
