It’s been a minute (that’s Southern for a while) since I posted, and a lot of life has happened since 2019. I have more gray hair and wrinkles, but I’d like to think I am wiser. I guess time will tell. I’ve missed writing and have said for years, “I need to get back to […]

I used to laugh about making lists. When I was younger, lists were optional because my brain was able to keep up with everything. Or it wasn’t so full of worry and stress and responsibility at least. But now, now, I make lists: grocery lists, packing lists, gift lists, things to do lists… In the […]
I stumbled a few days ago. I was investigating a grotto that I pass almost every day on the route to my office. It stands at the point of an overgrown wooded lot. Someone makes sure the grass doesn’t over take the grotto. The back of it faces an intersection of 4 streets and in […]
Smallness is the opposite of bigness. At some point in time, we notice our smallness and lately I have been feeling the smallness of life. Maybe you can relate? This year I will celebrate a big birthday. It’s an age where people talk about their approaching retirement and their dreams for those retirement years. As […]
