So, for those who do not follow me on social media, my cat - the boy whose life I saved and the boy who has saved mine more times than I could ever attempt to count; the one who has been the one in the "it's just you and me, babe!" for 12 years - … Continue reading How do you make impossible decisions?

A Thought about the “meaning of friendship”
I know I have been talking a lot about "friendship" in the last few posts ... as well as in several posts that I wrote quite some time ago. I can appreciate that there are many people (well, maybe not, but that has nothing to do with this!) but that the many people have different … Continue reading A Thought about the “meaning of friendship”
thankful tuesday
This is something I often forget myself. It became apparent when I started sending messages to my Facebook "friends" going down by alphabetical order (I am only at "G" with a few exceptions). Sometimes you forget that some of the best friends you have ever had are actually still there for you. And ... aside … Continue reading thankful tuesday
Terrace House Wisdom
I have been "watching" (my version of "watching" is more like half-listening to while doing other things) the Netflix / Japanese "reality show" "Terrace House" and I just came across some wisdom that I suppose I had overlooked while halfheartedly "watching" / listening to the show. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this … Continue reading Terrace House Wisdom
Friday Freedom
FREEDOM is the ability to RESPOND to any situation by looking at it antithetically.. If your natural REACTION to a situation is one way, try stepping back and thinking about it in exactly the opposite way. For example, my last post about "helping others help themselves" - that is, knowing first that the person who … Continue reading Friday Freedom

I have a formal diagnosis of panic disorder - something which is not at all helped by the illnesses I have or the drugs used to treat them! At any rate, when I am faced with a … Continue reading Wednesday Wisdom
Tuesday Tip
"“When people show you who they are, believe them the first time. "~Maya AngelouThis is one of those quotes that's hitting very close to home lately. I started writing a post about the importance of going with your "gut" instinct - a topic which ties into this quote very closely. There are so many implications … Continue reading Tuesday Tip
Mundane Monday
I will try to return to my more "succinct" posting style with this one - please bear with my "bombastic loquaciousness" when it pops up! At any rate, sticking with the "alliteration," I thought I would write about a topic that has been on my mind quite a bit recently - it is something of … Continue reading Mundane Monday
Thursday Thought
Here is yet ANOTHER TRULY succinct post! I'm on a roll! *CHEERS!*I think those of us who are "givers" in life - those of us who tend to "give give give" in relationships of any kind - are either the children of abusive parents or narcissistic parents or had some other experience in our early … Continue reading Thursday Thought
My SOUL Sunday – Nightmares Revisited
Sticking with the alliteration ...Today I realized something very important. I have been having similar dreams as I was having when I discussed them in my post about nightmares and why I thought the people I didn't really care about were the ones "starring" in most of my bad dreams. I have to say, I … Continue reading My SOUL Sunday – Nightmares Revisited
