OK. This is the last of the reflections. Thanks for bearing with me as I think through these topics. I have finished the list of interests that are current in my life, and I have discovered that some have become less important to me, star-gazing, bird-watching, shooting, and genealogy. I will still engage in them … Continue reading Reflections (Part 3)

Reflections (Part 2)
4. Birds. I have always enjoyed watching birds. I never really knew much about identifying them or knew many varieties. I did enjoy putting out bird feeders...and collecting found feathers. When Ed died, I started trying to find meaning in my life. By DNA, it was likely I had only lived 2/3 of my life … Continue reading Reflections (Part 2)
Reflections (Part 1)
It is the New Year ~ 2022, and a time to reflect on my life...what I like, what I want to change. In the past, I have chosen 3 areas for improvement: my spiritual life, my physical body and health, and my interests. This year I find myself aware of my lack of exercise, my … Continue reading Reflections (Part 1)
Magic in our lives
My sister once made a remark about magic to the effect, at least as I took it, that it was not real. I beg to differ. I see magic everyday in my life, but I must admit that I have to look for it. And, I bet you are wondering about this picture. Well, the … Continue reading Magic in our lives
What’s my life purpose?
I have considered off and on since childhood various professions. And, the one that keeps coming back but always to the side...like not really seriously...is writing. Usually, it is a nudge or a wonderment. Could I? What would I write? I have tried my hand at poetry and even got published in an anthology once. … Continue reading What’s my life purpose?
Hanukkah: My experience
I have had many Hanukkahs since I have chosen Judaism as my faith expression. And, most of them were shared with my mate, Ed. When he died, joy went out of a lot of those experiences that we shared. It has now been four years since he died. It has taken most of that time … Continue reading Hanukkah: My experience
Reflections
This is the view to the west of my house. It is a frequent sight from my living room window, although not as colorful usually as it was this night. I chose this picture because it is the kind of beauty that causes me to reflect on the beauty of nature. It has been nine … Continue reading Reflections
It is time…
January. The time I set goals for the year...the time I decide on expenses to eliminate...the time I make plans for the new year. I am considering these expenses: asking for a SELF and LHF refunds...Ancestry ($149/yr renews 2/28), Audible ($15/mo), this blog, Norton/McAfee, LTC insurance. Plans: Garden - what to plant: tomatoes, potatoes, onions?, … Continue reading It is time…
Surprises
I had a couple of nice surprises today. First, the not-so-nice one. My Good Morning post on FB disappeared on me twice this morning! I was so frustrated that I just posted the one phrase - "Good Morning, y'all". This led to a couple of nice comments by some of my FB peeps about enjoying … Continue reading Surprises
Is it in my mind?
Over the past month or so, I notice that going out to run errands and interacting with the public leads to not feeling well when I get home. I start coughing and generally feeling not quite fully me. Is it all in my mind? I don't think I am sick...but I am wondering if it … Continue reading Is it in my mind?
