As time goes by and age creeps up ever so quickly, I often reflect on years gone by. We don’t think much of the future when we’re children but now as an aging adult I sure do think often of my youth. As children we live in the moment, care free, simple, constant learning. WeContinue reading “Once I was a Child”

Mirror Mirror
Mirror, mirror on the wall. I’m almost positive there is a mirror in almost every household. What it’s for? It is to see a “reflection” of yourself. It allows us to see ourselves outside of our own eyes. But understand, the reflection that one sees is not how the world sees you. A mirrored reflectionContinue reading “Mirror Mirror”
Life is like a Yo-Yo
Most of us know what a yo-yo is. It has changed over the years but so have we as a people. Life has changed dramatically just in my lifetime. I remember our first microwave. I remember TV being only certain channels and turning off at night with the star bangled banner and then static. IContinue reading “Life is like a Yo-Yo”
Cracker Jacks
Do you remember the molasses and caramel flavored popcorn in a red, white and blue box? The familiarity of seeing the little sailor boy and his dog on the outside packaging. The anticipation of the sweet treat on our tongues. And of course, the excitement of dumping the entire box out on the counter toContinue reading “Cracker Jacks”
Treadmill of Nullity
What is life? Simple but profound question. It’s been asked countless times and answered in countless ways. People write books about it, teach about it, hypothesize about it. I’m no different in sharing my own thoughts about it. One of the masses with a pin prick concept of a thought. I truly cannot articulate toContinue reading “Treadmill of Nullity”
Moments of This Way or That
I have been reflecting more and more about my past as I age. One of the biggest deathbed confessions is regret. I have much regret, and I have a lot of life to live. But it is hard to have hope when so many instances could have been avoided or done differently. I know weContinue reading “Moments of This Way or That”
Nobody Told Me There Would Be Days Like This
When we are children, we have no care in the world. We get clothes and shoes to wear, we get toys and more toys, we get food; provided, cooked and cleaned up all for nothing. The life of a child is carefree, for the most part. There are always putrid exceptions where children are abused,Continue reading “Nobody Told Me There Would Be Days Like This”
Times of Change
I’m a Generation X. I don’t know what that means really but I do know that each generation is a little bit different. My generation, I feel, was unique. We grew up in such a time of technological change. When I was a young teenager, we got our first microwave. Phones were still dial andContinue reading “Times of Change”
Wrapping Paper
Writing comes fairly easy to me, wrapping does not. My present wrapping skills looks as if a 5-year-old did the wrapping, no disrespect to you 5-year-olds. But seriously I can’t wrap very well. I just usually settle for a bag with tissue paper covering the gift. But why do we wrap things, wrap gifts? WhatContinue reading “Wrapping Paper”
Rainbows and Blackholes
Rainbows full of the light spectrum of color, glistening moisture reflecting the sun’s rays to brighten the landscape from the ground to the sky. We look at rainbows with awe and wonder. We are mesmerized by its color, vibrancy and fanciful thoughts of finding the pot of gold at its end. We see rainbows inContinue reading “Rainbows and Blackholes”
