Thankful I was stuck in bed

The harder the day, the harder it is to be thankful. I waited until the end of the day to write this “Thankful Thursday” post. That’s mostly because I was having a pretty hard day. As I wrote yesterday in my Yo-Yo post, life is so unpredictable when you have M.E./CFS, or any other number [...]

The life of a Yo-Yo

  Yes, that’s what I feel like… a Yo-Yo! I never know from day to day – even from moment to moment what my life holds. One minute I’m happily engaging myself in the little things of life, and the next, I’m thrown downward. I had a nice first half of the day yesterday…  Checked [...]

Reduce Pain and Increase Health with Castle Bath Products – GIVEAWAY

  **I was not paid in any way for the following review. I was sent a sample of the product I am reviewing only. The opinions are my own, honest evaluation of the product.** Have I ever found a fantastic company with spa products that not only pamper, but are aimed at reducing pain and [...]

Happy Birthday my “Cereal Girl”

I’ve loved you since before I knew you my darling daughter! How happy I am to have been blessed by your presence in my life these past 24 years. What wonderful memories of all the hours we spent watching Sesame Street, listening to your record and then your tapes of Sesame Street songs, going to [...]

Helping My Children Deal With Fear

Every child experiences fear. There is fear of the dark, fear of thunderstorms, and fear of “things” under the bed. In the past year, children have also experienced adult-sized fears. Three weeks after the September 11 Twin Towers tragedy, I was packing my bags to fly to Alaska. My eight-year-old kept hugging me and telling [...]

Guess Where This Is?

  These poppies seemed the perfect compliment to our bright summery days for my Wordless Wednesday picture. Can you guess where this picture was taken? Leave a comment with your guess, and if you are the first to guess right – I’ll email you a copy without the watermark that you can use as a [...]

It All Begins with T…

Tuesday… Terrific… Tantalizing… TEA! Yes, I admit, I am addicted to TEA! I love tea! I start my day with tea and I drink it all day long. Black tea, White Tea, Green Tea, Oolong Tea… floral tea, spiced tea, tropical tea… I love it all! Guess that’s why being a tea reviewer is such [...]

Roller Coaster Days

  I still remember my first roller coaster ride. It was the “Big Dipper” on the boardwalk in Santa Cruz, California. A huge, wooden roller coaster! My dad and I went together – I was usually up for anything daring that my dad was going to do. Even though it scared me a little I [...]

Thankful?

There’s still less than one hour left in my Thursday. This morning, I had a wonderful idea for my “Thankful Thursday” post. But instead of getting to write it, I have spent the entire day… in fact, almost the entire week, worrying about and working on getting our wireless network working again. It has taxed [...]
