Only The Fabulous

When I turned fifty, I laughed at the arrival of my AARP cards.   When I turned fifty, I followed protocol by enduring a colonoscopy prep to allow someone to stick a camera where the sunshine doesn’t shine, in effort to get a gold star and not have to go through it for another ten years. …

Unapologetic

Life is built by a series of moments.  If you wish to seize them, you must be ready.   There are those who gaze from the sidelines wondering when it will be their turn and there are others who jump into the action.   I have often said that my youngest is definitely one that seizes the…

After The Storm

I always thought that the bible exaggerated the whole “40 days and 40 nights of rain”, but living in Louisville, Kentucky, I feel that it has come to fruition. It has become pointless to even clean the kitchen floor because it is littered minutes afterwards with well-meaning Basset hounds tracking their paw prints all over…

The Cure

I am at the point of my life that when I look at the calendar and see I have something planned at night, I frown.   There was a time where activity at night was the fuel to getting through the week.   I was the queen of the night.  (I was going to say lady of…

The Observer

Life on Life’s Terms

The scenery of my life seems to change as frequently as the weather.   A balmy eighty degrees yesterday warranted the appearance of my battle ropes.   Hibernating for the winter, I brought those bad boys out in an effort to embrace the abnormally warm February day. It is such a great release when I can pound…

Calming the Inner Child

Even at the ripe old age of fifty years old, I am still in the process of learning new things.  The lessons keep coming and I do my best to embrace them.     But when my ego is involved, sometimes it takes a tad longer for those lessons to penetrate the surface. I had a…

Transforming

I sat in the back of church today.  My typical assignment when the boys serve.  It began when Bailey started his tenure as an altar server in an effort to not be in a position to jump up and run up on the altar if he faltered or was having an issue accomplishing his task. …
