So many of you have asked where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to. I’m finally coherent enough to explain.
On February 26, I fell off the back of my pickup truck and broke my ankle… both bones in my left foot plus a torn ligament. In less than one minute, my life was turned upside down. Not as bad as some people’s, because I know I have friends tackling much worse things, but it’s definitely taken a turn for the worse.
Good gosh! All those thoughts that start when you lay down to sleep for the night! You know the ones I’m talking about… the useless, good for nothing BUT keeping you awake thoughts that you just can’t get rid of… Like they couldn’t have come to mind while you were wandering through your day and awake anyway!?! Of course not!!
To add insult to injury (and lack of beauty sleep), most of the time, they’re not even productive thoughts! Take for instance when I couldn’t get to sleep earlier this week. Was I thinking about world peace or how to change my life into the type of life I’ve dreamed of… of course not.
Fifteen years ago today I watched my mom take her last breath. I woke up this morning thinking about that day. It’s amazing how vivid the last 3 weeks of her life are to me, even after 15 years. I miss my mom…
There are so many things that I’ve wanted to say to her over the years, so many things I wanted her to see.
When I was a kid I thought she’d live forever. I’m not sure many people ever think about the mortality of their parents when they’re young. …
Baby Boomers were born between 1946-1964, right? Well, sorta…
Everyone seems to agree on what year Baby Boomers got started. Birth data, not to mention the end of a war, makes it easy. However, it’s tough to find a consensus on the exact year of when to declare that the Baby Boomers stop & Generation X begins.
It makes sense though. It’s a lot like saying that the day before your 18th birthday you’re NOT an adult, but suddenly at midnite…ta-da!… you’re all grown up. Yeah right. …
I came across a blog post today that asked this question: How do you know when you should just give up and realize that what you’re doing isn’t for you?
It got me thinking since I’m new to the whole blogging thing…
In the article, the author asked if there was something we had quit before. Yes, there was. …
Why do always end up looking like this?
