I Thought Of You Today

When You Miss Someone

updated on Leave a Comment on When You Miss Someone

Missing is a “contranym” one word with two opposite meanings. Missing means to be either connected or disconnected.

Depending upon the connection and circumstances with that individual is how you will deal with …

updated on Leave a Comment on Until We Meet Again…

It’s happened to us all…..when someone is no longer a part of our lives….whether it be a death…..or simply a separation….the hurt is there….and it is oh so real…that only time will heal. There is no rules….no playbook….no instruction manual on how someone is supposed to deal with any type of separation…..it just is….no words can even explain what the heart is feeling.

We All Cry Sometimes

updated on 2 Comments on We All Cry Sometimes

This is such a natural thing….it’s the shedding of tears…..and this will happen for so many reasons…..the birth of a baby…the loss of a loved one…..heartache…..heartbreak…..happiness….excitement….sadness and even anger. Crying is believed to be an outlet or a result of a burst of intense emotional sensations…such as surprise….joy or agony. For me personally…..I can tear up from a sappy movie….to a Hallmark commercial. I don’t play favorites….you might say that I wear my heart on my sleeve in that respect. …

Not Just A Pet

updated on 2 Comments on Not Just A Pet

We have and will… always experience different types of loss in our lives. Not one is more important than the other…nor will they be without tremendous heartache… But for me….this loss was almost more than I had ever expected. Most of us have at least one….maybe even two….what would that be….you ask….well it’s the four-legged family member. For me…growing up we had a couple of dogs…but, I remember once I went into high school…our dog lady became ill, and then …

Hope…It’s What We Wish For

updated on 2 Comments on Hope…It’s What We Wish For

Hope….. A feeling of expectation and desire for certain things to happen…. A feeling of trust….. Wanting something to happen before it does sometimes even without patience….

Hope is an act of the will… When one has hope….they are yearning for an outcome that can make their life better in some way. To improve their lives in one way …

2021 New Year… New Beginning

updated on Leave a Comment on 2021 New Year… New Beginning

2020….what a whirlwind of emotions. The year in review….where do I even begin. The year of 2020…..so much…yet so little to even reflect on. Hands down…COVID 19 has had a “death-grip” on the world as we all know it. It has by far exceeded itself in the lives of everyone all over the world. Causing families ….friends….co-workers…neighbors…..and especially strangers to live in fear of….contracting and possibly spreading a virus….that no one can even see. Jobs were lost….lay-offs were made……businesses closed….families …
