I wrote the below today just to try to express some of what I am feeling during this crazy time.  Since my last post the protesting, rioting and violence has escalated concerning the killing of George Floyd at the hands of 4 police officers.   What happened to Mr. Floyd was very wrong and IContinue reading “I\’M TIRED – The crazy year of 2020”

The world has been crazy clear back to Bible times.  Once Adam and Eve ate of the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge sin has been wreaking havoc.  Right now that cycle has ramped up to the nth degree.  It is crazy!!!

I can\’t believe it has been since 2018 since I have posted here.  I started posting on Instagram so I kind of got away from here.  Well, I wanted to write in here because I am at a place where I am just so discouraged and frustrated that I didn\’t really want to put itContinue reading “Such a long time and the same spot…”

My goal was to lose enough weight in 76 days to be able to be comfortable at tonight\’s concert.  Well, I amContinue reading “It\’s Day 76 – Where am I at now?”

May 10, 2018.  What significance does that day have?  Well, Anna has her spring band concert that night.  That is 76 days from the day I am writing this post.

Chicago Med was on last night.  It is a show that follows the doctors at a hospital in Chicago (go figure?)  The episode last night had me really struggling.  There was a patient that was brought in because she had been struggling with Anorexia.  She had been fighting the disorder for 15 years.  At oneContinue reading “Legacy – What\’s Mine”
