I am currently reading The Art of Living by Thich Nhat Hanh. And I am trying to follow his teachings about practicing mindfulness everyday in all my activities and resting moments. Mindfulness allows you to live deeply every moment that is given you to live. ~Thich Nhat Hanh It is not easy, but…… Continue reading A Mindful Walk; Geese, Ducks, and Dog

Seeing is Believing or NOT
Three separate incidents of Seeing or NOT: #1. One day last week I stepped out of my house, my little dog on her leash, ready for our morning walk. Facing east (I take the same route every day) on Borderlands Drive I suddenly see a tall gray electric tower shaped like a skinny monster insect…… Continue reading Seeing is Believing or NOT
Kentucky Hike
View of Doe Run Lake from Erlanger, KY. Me and Little Girl, my little four-legged companion, took a hike this morning. Or should I say I tried to take a hike. I’ve been planning this hike for a while now, waiting for the perfect weather- not too hot or wet – and the best time…… Continue reading Kentucky Hike
My Dog is an Addict

My Lifelong Love Affair With a Bug
My red-eyed Bug-Beau Cicadas in N. Kentucky It started in 1953 in Dayton, Kentucky, a small town on the Ohio River, the year I was born. Of course I don’t remember meeting him, since I was only two months old when he arrived. But I do recall the fossilized shell of one of his nymphs.…… Continue reading My Lifelong Love Affair With a Bug
Here’s Your Sign
A redbird came knocking. I looked up from my comfy spot on the sectional. I just wrote a letter to my friend. Through my tears, I saw the beautiful cardinal on my sliding glass door looking at me. He knocked again, his beak tapping the glass. “Hello”, I said, or thought. A few seconds…… Continue reading Here’s Your Sign
The In-Between Time
We are in the In-Between Time. All of us on this planet are. For me personally, this strange place started last year, when Joe and I began talking about our future. We discussed many possible paths we could take. Most seem(ed) very plausible. Some not so much. We are still in this discussion stage. Nothing…… Continue reading The In-Between Time
On Lock-Down and Laying Down One’s Life
I am stuck here, mostly sitting with my left leg propped up with ice on it to keep swelling down, (I had knee replacement surgery March 18th) doing nothing productive. The first few days I was either too dopey or hurting too bad to come up with anything to write or even talk about and…… Continue reading On Lock-Down and Laying Down One’s Life
Where Are You From?
“Where are you from?” This may be one of the first questions you put to a person who was a complete stranger only minutes before. I believe this question is the most quintessential of any query we may make to another. With these words, we are inviting the other to open up the door to…… Continue reading Where Are You From?
Obit for Boomer
Boomer was our little buddy. He was crazy and unique, full of doggy personality. Boomer loved to be with us always, especially when we traveled. He, along with Hogan who preceded Boomer in death in July of this year, have been on many road trips with us, to Texas twice, Florida and Ohio and most…… Continue reading Obit for Boomer
