Despite all the junk mail and annoying pop-up ads, there is something hugely positive about the internet. Yes, it’s a global marketplace, a world-wide chatroom, a virtual meeting hall. And it has given me more opportunities in life than I dare count.
It has been an employment source, a communication vehicle and a learning tool. I’ve [...]

The virtual illusion
5 Feb
To You, Thanks.
I’ve noticed that the traffic on my blog has increased a lot over the last few months. That’s a good thing. I know at least two people who read it, but I’m curious about the voyeurs out there who remain anonymous.
I’ve explained to a number of people why I blog, perhaps you don’t know … [...]

Wonderfully vicious
Life lessons seem to be ganging up on me, coming from all directions. Just when I think I’ve got something down, I’ve got a whole new arena in which to practice. And all I can do is try, try again.
Like patience. I haven’t always been the most patient person, quite the opposite really. But I’ve [...]

The Writing Bug
I realized the other day just how lacking I’ve been in my writing. Not blogging, mind you, which I seem to do so easily. But the personal stuff, the true creative process of writing, revising, rewriting and whatnot. I’ve kept journals since I was 10 and it was about that time that I started writing poetry [...]

There have been Maxfield Parrish skies the last few evenings. All top heavy and bulbous, with ribbons of pink and orange. I like driving home when it’s just sunset, the sky is like a preview of the day to come. The fact that it’s warm and sunny in January is a little disturbing. But I’ll [...]

Comfort … and joy
Laying down with a bag of ice on my lower back isn’t the way I intended to spend my Saturday. Afterall, today is the USPS cutoff date to send packages that will arrive by Christmas. And I have a few packages needing to get out … but I’m laid up in bed, with near frostbite [...]

Endless amounts of graditude
I’ve landed in a soft place. I am surrounded by loving people, family and friends. Tomorrow we’ll gather around a beautiful table and eat a feast. We’ll talk through flower arrangements, over plates piled high. We’ll lay around, fat and lazy, but thankful. We’ll salute the chef and do the dishes.
I got a paycheck [...]

The Journey: The Profound in the Mundane
When I finally crossed over into Georgia, a little happy dance went off in my brain. I, however, just held tight to the steering wheel and promised to celebrate later.
I thought I might cry at the sight of my exit, I got all teary and choked up. But decided that would be a bad time [...]

The Journey – Chapter 3
I did less driving and more smiling today. I slept really well in my enormous bed surrounded by masses of pillows. I woke up to the alarm I set on my phone, and even though it was early, I still couldn’t get back to sleep.
I had a disturbing dream about poop. If Dave were [...]

The Journey – Chapter 2
From all outward appearances, I think I kept it together quite well today. But my palms still sweated furiously throughout the day, no matter how many times I took deep, cleansing breaths.
Although, the ride today was absolutely gorgeous. Once I got on 85, the 5 lanes turned into 2, and dazzling trees towered over [...]
