So this week has been an adventure in what doesn't not kill you eats your time up and you get to decide whether you want to be strong or not. Strength comes in many forms and sometimes being strong is all about deciding not to be strong. Monday during third period I began to feel …
Some believe that resolutions are trite, especially New Year’s resolutions. And with the prodigious rate that New Year’s Resolutions are dropped and forgotten those holding that opinion are completely justified. A resolution without conviction and a back-up plan is destined to fail. You know the saying that “If you fail to plan, you plan to …
My Orlando family is small and so even with the day off, I am at home writing for a couple of hours before I head off to dinner. My contribution to dinner is some homemade cranberry sauce. I have never attempted it before, but the recipe was simple enough. It sits in the frig awaiting …
Some of my friends are posting daily on Facebook what they are most grateful for this year. Every day this month, they have posted things they are grateful for and each time I have read one of their posts a smile comes across my face. I love them, but haven't replicated them or create my own …
