I recently had an experience. I found hot cocoa flavored candy canes. I am always skeptical about things like this but I’m usually willing to try. So, I did. I’m not a fan of plain Ol candy canes in general but I’m here to say this flavor was one of the best candy canes IContinue reading “Candy Canes”

Afraid Of The Dark
When we are born, we come from a dark protected place into a cold bright scary world. Everything is so loud and overwhelming. Being passed from person to person, shaking, crying, exposed to the real world out from our protected cocoon. We were safe in the dark. So why do we now associate the darkContinue reading “Afraid Of The Dark”
Food Poisoning
I recently went out to eat at a Chinese buffet. Everything looked so good, and there was a huge variety. I ate my fill, came home and felt fine but later the next day it hit me. My belly said nope you’re not going to do this. The next night was even worse. And afterContinue reading “Food Poisoning”
Do You Have The Time
I’m not specifically asking if you know what time it is although it is pertinent to my thought process. It’s a multilayered statement. First, if I take the time to ask you the time, do you have the time to tell me. Isn’t that what life is, a journey of time. When we stop andContinue reading “Do You Have The Time”
Cruising
A friend of mine recently took a cruise and it got me thinking, again. Here’s the thing. People take cruises and from what I hear they absolutely love them for the most part. What do they love? Well, they love the scenery, they love to be catered to, and they love the destination, which isContinue reading “Cruising”
Puff of Smoke
Last night I watched One Love, the story about Bob Marley. I learned a few things that I didn’t know. I learned a little about Rastafari and some of what they believe and follow. I learned that Bob didn’t smoke cigarettes in a time that almost everyone was smoking. But he did smoke a lotContinue reading “Puff of Smoke”
Strange Days
I remember laying on my living room floor in 1986 thinking, how old will I be in the year 2000? And now it’s 2024. Time has flown by. I’m now in my 50’s and I have seen and experienced things I never would have dreamed of way back in 1986 let alone in 2000. AndContinue reading “Strange Days”
A Candle
This came to me the other day. We are a lot like a candle. Allow me to explain. A candle is made up of different sorts of materials that when heated up turns into a melting goo. Take that goo, place it in some forms of different designs, add a wick, it hardens, and voilaContinue reading “A Candle”
Conspiracy Theories
The world goes round and round as it has for millions of years. Nature does what nature does. Homo sapiens on the other hand are big-brained idiots hurtling through space thinking they are the center of the universe. Why do I say this? I recently have been diving into online political and religious conversations. Yep,Continue reading “Conspiracy Theories”
Wisps of Memory
As I’m getting older, I do a lot of pondering. I think often of times of my past and I realize that in the present moment they are all just wisps of my memories. An event, a small moment in time of my many years gone by. Some I recall often; others seem to manifestContinue reading “Wisps of Memory”
