WARNING: Excessive whining causes narrowing of the mind, restricted creativity flow, cloudy vision and thickened skull. Tonight, after working a great first day at my new job, I left feeling confident in my position floating on top of the learning curve. I couldn’t wait to get home for a great family evening. When I picked…
When blogging about my life, my family and friends sometimes guest star. I remain as vague as possible to avoid calling anyone out. However when one’s descriptions become too indistinct, anyone thinks I’m talking about them! Someone recently explained away their behavior to me, responding to a previous blog post and I immediately stopped them…

Many articles exist on the benefits of changing or adding more to your routine to exercise your brain, extend your…
One thing I missed from having roommates was the end-of-day debriefing. Oprah filled in for a bit, but once her show went dark, I yet again pondered – What Would Oprah Do? She Journals! this blog enabled me to unwind with some whine. I hoped to force creativity, practice writing and organize thoughts. Being Gen…
My town’s 70,000 residents may not qualify us as the smallest. However, we hold the record as the densest town I’ve lived in. I’m not calling my neighbors names; close to 11,000 people live in each square mile. Why, then, am I surprised so many people here know my name? Recently, after hardly seeing people…
In addition to my daily 365 words, I will do 1 photo a week! I’d love feedback!
