Honor in making mistakes

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing.” George Bernard Shaw Making Mistakes I have started working on the book which at this point is more like sitting on a dock and wondering where I\’m going to row my leaky boat but at […]

An Invincible Summer

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” Albert Camus Rain Outside – Summer Within I have been driving myself crazy trying to think of a grand focus I could make my blog about. Something that I could live with, grow with and still find enough material […]

Ordinary Days

Gifts from the past I just went downstairs to our storage room to look for something and in one box of my stuff of stuff I found this tiny cardboard box. The minute I saw it I knew what it was and had to grab it and bring it up stairs for my office. It […]

Stay at home

Cooking I saw a report somewhere that more people are gaining weight as they stay at home and cook more. Add me to the list! I started baking homemade bread and finding new recipes to try.

It\’s that \”kind\” of a day

New Normal for Buddy & Me

Ho Hum Days I am trying to figure out what is my \”non pressure\” fun thing to do after quitting my business. So far nothing has risen to the surface except to clean my office and see if that helps. It is still a work in progress but I did rearrange Buddy\’s cat tree so […]
