When I was growing up, exercise was something everyone else did. As I grew older, I did appreciate the need to stretch my muscles, and I even tried it a few times. It was so boring, I didn’t keep it up. Even when I gained a few pounds, I couldn’t summon much enthusiasm. I had…

FreeFallI like the sound of the singing butterfly, with airy dreams falling freeRain so delicate you cannot see it, or feel its touchWhere rivers flow with swollen dreams, waiting to be caught in a fisherman’s netThe golden catch he carries home to feed his familyWhen the first taste of a dream touches their lips, together…

I read an interesting article the other day about writer’s tendencies. That women writers tend to stick to subjects they are familiar with, and that male writers usually jump right in the deep end.

Time and water seem extra precious these days, so this poem by Anita hits that nail on the head… Time trapped in a rain drop. The watch maker said it was beyond price. More precious than silver, gold, diamonds? It has been here from the beginning His wish was to take charge of it. He…

This meme really added to the confusion in my head. I have been struggling with memories of how I was, compared to how I am now, and not enjoying the process. Trying to be sensible, I do know that my life will never be the same again, and most of the time, that is a…

A new week has begun. Still too warm for me, but I’m paddling my life canoe like a crazy woman anyway. Things to do, even if I do have to do them all sitting down! Just as I thought I was making progress, somebody gifted me the flu, which has set me back further than…

I tried to find an image that truly depicted our suffering in this heatwave, but these two don’t seem to be suffering at all! We have never liked the hot weather, but this latest hot spell has robbed us of our energy, and there is no escaping it. I think AC is unheard of in…
