The Greatest Story

I have had a ragged day; so, in search of inspiration I went to the web and just threw in the words “nothing to say.” It turns out there is a song with that title, who knew?  The song is a pretty dreary one, but it sparked a thought in me worthy of our time.…

You Raise Me Up

  I am happy today, new adventures are looming, the sun is shining, and most importantly, I like how I handled the latest crisis in my life. I tell you that least you think what I am about to tell you is responsible for my joy. What I am about to share with you, most…

Faith

Tigger the calico cat was sleeping on her olive-colored, great bed. Lilly the dog was snoring by the door, until I looked at her, then she came to sit with me on the oak floor just in case I needed company. My love was lazily massaging my left shoulder, too relaxed to use his right…

Dragon’s Breath

For one moment, just a breath, there is total silence. It is the pause between one wave and the next. Each one waits its turn to touch the shore and then the cycle begins again. The sound of the waves in that last little push, before they actually touch the shore, is like the fluttering…

Choosing Life

Once again I am soaring through the sky. Today in the seat in front of me is an attractive woman who is reading what I call “junk” magazines. Oh, you know, the ones that gossip about celebrities as if they actual know squat about them. As the flight attendant walked by she glanced down and…

“Never, Never, Never Quit!” ~ Winston Churchill

I remember sitting next to my mother’s deathbed. For months I had been fighting a losing battle; keeping her alive. My mistake was neglecting to ask her if she wanted to live. I had made the same mistake several years earlier, when together we had fought off her first bout with cancer. I thought we…

Crazy Day

I struggled to open my eyes; someone during the night had placed tape over my eyelids so I couldn’t open them. Someone else had filled my body with drugs. I do not drink or use drugs, so I knew it wasn’t me. Yet, I felt drugged. My body didn’t want to move, yet it was…

Listening To the Whispers

About a week ago, I received an email from a friend that asked me to watch an iTunes warning about tires. The warning said that tires that were many years old were being sold as new. The tires have never been used, but they sat on the shelves for years and the rubber degraded. The…
