It’s no secret to anyone who knows me. I love Christmas! When I was little Christmas was always so awesome. We didn’t have much money but Mom always made it special. Some years there was a silver artificial tree and other years there was a live tree. They were always beautifully decorated with tinsel thatContinue reading “What’s Your Memory?”

When we were kids we played a game called “London Bridge.” We would stand in a circle holding hands and sing a snappy little tune that went like this: “London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down. London Bridge is falling down my fair lady.” Then we would fall to the ground giggling. ItContinue reading “Falling Down”

We’ve all done it. We have complained about the situations we find ourselves in whether it be our jobs, our relationships or just life’s circumstances. Sometimes we would rather wallow in pity than actively look for a way to create change. When we speak these words we are effectively cursing our future. Instead we shouldContinue reading “Don’t Curse Your Future”

Have you been watching the news? Do you understand what is happening? My mind tells me to be reasonable but my heart tells me to believe what I know to be true. I really believe that we are living in the last days. The ones the “crazy” people have been standing on the street cornersContinue reading “Last Call”

Have you ever had that warm feeling of a bygone memory? That has been happening to me a lot lately. There is no warning. It just happens. One memory is waking up on a gorgeous Saturday morning in the summer when we lived in Sebec. Ken was up, had already made coffee and was watchingContinue reading “Still Here”

I was surprised but not shocked at the opening ceremonies for the 2024 Paris Olympics this year. I think sad is a better word.

They had nothing to do with the spirit of competition, athleticism and excellence.Continue reading

My eldest sister is one of my favorite people. She hasn’t had the easiest life but has somehow managed to overcome the many situations she has faced with strength and persistence. If you ask her she will tell you it is only because of her belief in God that she has held on. Growing upContinue reading “Gentle of Spirit”

Nostalgia. It gets me every time. It might be a song, something I see or just a wistful passing thought that will remind me of something from past years making me long to go back in time. I remember those crisp, white winter days when the snow couldn’t keep us inside. We would go sleddingContinue reading “Backspace”

Years ago my son and I were returning to Maine from a vacation to Nova Scotia to visit family. It was April but we got hit with the worst snowstorm I’ve ever seen. Driving up Route 9, the Airline, the car went into a 360 degree spin and we ended up over the banking onContinue reading “These are my Miracles”

I tried to sleep but that usually welcome place evades me tonight. My mind won’t let me rest because it is filled with thoughts of you. Thoughts of all the times we had together that I foolishly believed would last longer. Time I wasted on insignificant things. Time I can never get back. If youContinue reading “Happy Birthday”
