I Want My Way!

I am a Realtor. When people ask me how I like being a Realtor, my response is that “I love it!”. That’s mostly true. I have to be honest and tell you that I have noticed that I love it most when deals are going my way. In my  favor. When everyone agrees on aContinueContinue reading “I Want My Way!”

The “Good and Lovely” Game

Something I am realizing as I get older is that it is quite possible that even though my skin is sagging and my hair is a bit more silver, my insides might always remain about twelve—as in twelve years old. I remember being twenty and anticipating the day I turned 30. How I would finallyContinueContinue reading “The “Good and Lovely” Game”

Shopping for Jeans

Today is the first day of a new year. I am happy to say that in the past few year I have been able to overcome, whether it be intentional or not, the urge to create a list of “Resolutions” (read: “unreasonably high expectations for myself and others”). No judgment on anyone who chooses toContinueContinue reading “Shopping for Jeans”

Great-er Expectations

If I have Great Expectations of others, I have even Greater Expectations of myself. Where I am apt to extend grace and understanding to others if they fall short, my go-to reaction to my own short-comings are anything but. I was talking (read: whining) to my sponsor the other day about just such a responseContinueContinue reading “Great-er Expectations”

Soaked

OK, So…I have written about 146 blogs since this Leukemia nonsense began. When I was in the hospital or just sitting around my house recovering from chemo and preparing for the next round, I had blog ideas rolling through my head at all times. I couldn’t write fast enough to get them all out ofContinueContinue reading “Soaked”

“unpacking” leisure

A couple days ago, August 5th to be exact, I mentioned that I had “escaped” from my family while on vacation, long enough to write my blog. Because I had already decided what to write about that day, I didn’t use the very cool topic that jumped out at me when I read the entriesContinueContinue reading ““unpacking” leisure”

Lump in my Throat

It feels so good to be at my keyboard again. It’s been almost 2 weeks since my last “real” entry and, like I mentioned in my update, my mind and heart are “back-blogged.” It’s been a long couple weeks of feeling bad and being in the hospital, so when I have ideas about what toContinueContinue reading “Lump in my Throat”

“Why I Hate You, in a nutshell”

A couple of months ago, when I wasn’t able to drive (post hospital recovery), my friend came and took me on an “outing”, like one would do for their aging grandma. When we got in the car she said, “So, here’s why I hate you, in a nutshell.” My offenses were all a result ofContinueContinue reading ““Why I Hate You, in a nutshell””

Day One of Consolidation chemo…

“for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need , and I know what it tis to have plenty.  I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well-fed or hungry, whether in plenty or in want, WHETHER I NEEDContinueContinue reading “Day One of Consolidation chemo…”
