  • I’m Feeling 52

    So, what does it feel like turning 52? Well, I guarantee it probably doesn’t feel like you think it does. I know for me it doesn’t feel or look like I ever thought it would. So many things are just not what our younger selves think. I turned 52 this past Sunday, April 12, 2026.…

    I’m Struggling With My Inner Demons

    I felt like I needed to sit down and write in hopes that it would help me get through some of what I am going through. It is the holidays and I am dealing with my inner demons. Seasonal depression always gets me this time of year. It is very common for those of us…

  • I Found a Lump

      First off I will admit that I have not been good about scheduling my yearly mammograms.  In fact, I have only had one done at the age of 48, well two now.  I did not regularly check my breasts via self examination.  Life gets busy and I just didn’t do it.  On May 11,…

    I woke up yesterday morning and had to go up to my city department to pay our electric and water bill.  I get in my son’s truck and I turn down Main Street in my small city and there is nobody out.  This is about 9:00 a.m.  It is a weird feeling to see that.…

  • My Anxious Mind Amidst This Pandemic

    This whole Coronavirus pandemic is a really big deal.  It is enough to induce scare and anxiety in anyone.  For those of us without anxiety as a mental illness it is amplified.  I find myself worrying about just about everything at some point and time.  I have moments of pure sanity and moments where I…

  • I Can’t Do This Anymore

    There are some words that I say to myself and even out loud all too often.  They are words that frighten me when I hear someone else say them.  They even frighten me a little when I realize I have said them myself.  They are the words “I can’t do this anymore”.  To some they…
