Did you ever send an email and immediately want it back. I did this last night. When I re-read it this morning I was sorry I sent it but alas it is too late. I am hoping that the recipient gives me credit for who they know I am. Sometimes the moment takes over and I say things I wish I had not. F

It is another really frigid day today in advance of what should be a pretty pleasant weekend. My pups are never happy in the single digits but we all persevere. Going to get some errands done today. I have some serious writing to get done and a couple of significant calls to make. Being focused m

I really enjoy traveling, seeing new places, meeting new people and learning about things you can only really get by being there. So far I have three trips booked, including the one I scheduled for November yesterday. Next month I will be off on my first adventure of the year. I go again in June

This is my new philosophy, mantra if you will. I look for good and you know what, I generally find it. My days are different than they once were but my pay off is terrific. Everyday is genuinely an opportunity to live my best life and I am going with that. I used to expect the worst, and found it

I will soon be out again because the snow is coming once more around noon. Tuesday is grocery day for me and damn, I know it will be crowded. Between the seniors (yes me) and the pan-nickers I will be lucky to find a parking space. Nonetheless it is time to get out because I have other places to

Yesterday I went to a indoor sale at a masonic hall. There were all sorts of things there from a Pyrex dish I bought, to old clothing, frames and every sort of junk you could think of. I looked at everything and then I saw a little pyramid like one I bought in Egypt about two months ago. It was a

So I have now been in the Berkshires for eight plus years. In that time I have learned about my area and about myself. I have suffered loss and enjoyed joy. My home is essentially done and I enjoy it. I have learned a lot about gardening and have created a space outside that brings me satisfactio

Improving my old home took a long time and ultimately three different contractors. The first guy started to slack off and not come regularly. It became clear that something was going on with him. I had even lent him money only to find out he was supporting a drug habit. I did all the normal due d

At some point after about ten days home, the woman from the animal rescue where I had volunteered for many years told me that she wouldn't keep my dogs any longer. She wanted me to decide which of my three I wanted to keep and she would be putting the others up for adoption. Now I was hurt and si
