I missed writing a blog post last week. Even though I had made it a priority to write a post every week, I didn’t. I felt too jumbled and out of control with everything going on, but I didn’t beat myself up for not doing it. Life happens. I knew I’d get back on track. […]
The happiest people know the secret to life. Have I met one of these folks? No, not yet, but my husband comes close. Sure, he has days like most of us do when things go sour, and we need to vent, but he always bounces back to smiling and appreciating the moment he’s in. From […]

When I thought about what to write today, the song “My Way” by Frank Sinatra came to mind. I hadn’t heard it for a long time, but I have been thinking lately about what it means to do life my way. Here are the lyrics to “My Way“ … And now, the end is near, […]
The song “Workin’ Them Angels” by Rush inspired this blog today. It’s a fantastic song with fantastic lyrics by the late, great Neil Peart. For me, Rush is the goat of rock music. They are on another level than traditional rock n’ roll music. Here are a few lyrics from the song to see the depth […]
