“What did she do?†became the hue and cry of a nation of jurors, judges, and conditioned critics. Ms. Zellweger, in case you haven’t heard, made a recent public appearance and was deemed almost unrecognizable. Some folks are sure she’s has plastic surgery, and others say maybe, maybe not, but either way so what? I’m in the last group. Whatever… Read More
The Best Part of My Day
I’ll keep this short and sweet. I saw this line by Brian G. Johnson and said a silent “Amen.†Here it is: “Getting old begins when dream chasing ends.â€
Fish Out of Water
Lizards, snakes, turtles, spiders. Pet material? For some yes, and for others a big and hearty “NO!†My own preferences run toward animals with fur, purring or barking or whinnying potential, and with mainstream interactive capabilities. And yet I completely understand the sudden and inexplicable bond that forms between creatures of differing realms. It’s not for me to judge those… Read More
Expressions of Etiquette
Telemarketers. I try so hard to have compassion for them as I grit my teeth and resent their intrusion. “They’re just doing their job,†I remind myself. It takes dedication to achieve that nonstop talking cadence in an attempt to keep prospects from saying, “No thanks.†I listen, hoping the telemarketer will run out of breath. I remain silent, waiting… Read More
Lick Is The New Love
Cat kisses. Love ‘em or hate ‘em? Our cat, Giese, is the “kisser.†When Cupid, bored with human dalliances, strikes an arrow squarely in her heart, Miss Giese suddenly needs to lick, rub, and purr with an intensity that’s hard to ignore. Or escape. I would suggest the timing of such affection is completely random, but there seems to be… Read More
Let’s Talk About The Dirt On
…my floors, walls, and other areas. I apologize if the title inferred this would be a piece that contained juicy gossip. Frankly, I don’t know that many ne’er-do-well’s, and certainly not anyone that is so naughty as to titillate the masses. (Why does the word titillate sound titillating? I always feel like it’s a word to be whispered and then… Read More
What is your voice?
There’s a fire starting in my heart Reaching a fever pitch, it’s bringing me out the dark Finally I can see you crystal clear Go ‘head and sell me out and I’ll lay your shit bare See how I leave with every piece of you Don’t underestimate the things that I will do… Thus starts the opening lyrics of Adele’s… Read More
The Dance
“Yes my life is better left to chance I could have missed the pain, but I’d have had to miss the dance The dance†My favorite Garth Brooks song is The Dance, and the lyrics above touch on the message. The notion of taking risks to live fully appeals to me even though I know it will most likely include… Read More
Signs
I counted seven smushed snakes on the road this morning. They seemed at peace. Flat, but at peace. Since snakes are one of my animal spirits I wondered if seeing that many deceased bodies was a bad omen, or if the Universe was trying to tell me to get going before it is too late for me as well. When… Read More
Revisiting Chasteberry
Chaste. According to the dictionary it means: Abstaining from sex Sexually faithful Pure in thought and deed Plain I’m not sure about the plain part. Perhaps the thinking is the person is so unattractive they aren’t likely to get any. Chaste has always meant, to me, being sexually inactive. Which brings to mind a story about my husband… At the… Read More
