Storm chasing without a tornado on the horizon? The storm in the cancer ward is chemo therapy that runs through everything in your body sweeping out the good and the bad cells. It shakes you down to your core hoping the good cells prevail. Not everyone is built for this particular battle.
GIVING UP, BUT NOT A QUITTER?
May 4, 2024 by
Giving up is different than quitting. Really. Quitting means done, all over, finished. The Day I Quit. Giving up is a longer process. One is a reaction, the other a journey. Who’s got the map?
HARD LOVE DADDY ON A HEALTH KICK
April 16, 2024 by
I saw hard love work on my Dad after he got his heart fixed. No smoking for the old chimney. The doc said it, the family said it, the friends said it. You’d say it too.
HOMEWARD BOUND? YES WE ARE
April 10, 2024 by
Homeward bound is the goal of all travelers. First it’s all about getting out and around, seeing new places and new people. Then it happens. Whether a face, a building, or something you eat, you’re ready to turn the corner and head for home. That’s the story, but . . .
NEW BEGINNING? HERE’S WHERE YOU START
April 8, 2024 by

New traditions aren’t always new, just new to some. The 100 Day tradition of throwing a party was new to me, but not new. When a new mom’s parents are born in China, there will be a 100 Day celebration. Now I wonder why everyone doesn’t have the same? It points to the differences in […]
