Words previously were used infrequently are now being used more often during my day. The words that I am referring to are the words in the sentence, “I don’t remember.” In the past I was pretty quick and very on top of the happenings that took place around me. It was something that I prided… Continue reading I Don’t Remember

A Babbles Babble
I have so many thoughts, and they are not flowing in any semblance of order today. There is no rhyme or reason to what is coming to my mind. It is kind of like a popcorn machine making a batch. Here is an idea, there is another, and then a third. Nothing brings them together,… Continue reading A Babbles Babble
Enjoy where you are
I find “enjoy where you are right now” to be quite challenging for numerous reasons, many of which will not be addressed or identified. But I like the game that’s attempting to be played here.

The road ahead
How often do I forget that I am on a path that is taking me where I need to be? I am not in control of where the path takes me but more of in control of the reigns of the horse that I’m riding on said path going in said direction to said where… Continue reading The road ahead
Courage
Courage is defined as the ability to do something that frightens one. I have lots of fear and I’m often afraid, but courage, that little sneaky beast is always there lurking. Dropping it’s trail of Cheerios for me to follow, leading me to the other side. Fear can be immobilizing. The whole fight, flee or… Continue reading Courage
