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”

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”
Shades of Grey
As I’ve aged, I’ve been able to glean some wisdom along the way. That’s what we’re supposed to do, right? Gain wisdom through mistakes, experience and triumphs. But as I look around, I see so many shades of grey manifesting about me. The teenage teenyboppers acting like they know everything in the world, when theyContinue reading “Shades of Grey”
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”
Floundering
Floundering definition is to struggle or stagger helplessly or clumsily in water or mud: and or struggle mentally; show or feel great confusion. Yep, that’s me. Is that you too? I had an epiphany the other day. I was visiting my friend’s gravesite and was having a one-sided conversation. He just wouldn’t answer back. ButContinue reading “Floundering”
Common Sense Thrown Right Out the Window
Common sense (from Latin Sensus communis) is “knowledge, judgement, and taste which is more or less universal and which is held more or less without reflection or argument”. As such, it is often considered to represent the basic level of sound practical judgement or knowledge of basic facts that any adult human being ought to possess. I wantedContinue reading “Common Sense Thrown Right Out the Window”
True Colors
The world is made up of so many variances of color. I’m amazed at how many Crayola Crayons there are. Sunsets, rainbows, oceans, mountains, flowers, the list goes on and on. Everywhere a person looks there is color. Lush green grass across the open expanse in the park or soft white snow blanketing the countrysideContinue reading “True Colors”
Simon Says
Most people know this game. I even had the electronic version; remember the four colors we had to memorize and match or get zonked. I can’t articulate that sound, but you can hear it in your own head. What is the premise for Simon says? Who is Simon? And why do we have to doContinue reading “Simon Says”
Mirror Mirror on the Wall
Most of know what this is a reference to. A fairly calm, safe, innocent part of our childhood upbringing. There are always exceptions, but fairy tales and bedtime stories have been around for hundreds if not thousands of years. But with this story, I’m going to put my own spin on it. In the storyContinue reading “Mirror Mirror on the Wall”
Born to ?
I am positive that this is a question that humans have asked for thousands upon thousands of years. We have looked to the sky with reverence, awe, and bewilderment. We have always asked, “why was I born, what is it that I’m born to do”. I heard a very wise scientists talk about the mathematicalContinue reading “Born to ?”
