Dim The Lights When you think about the night, the first thing that comes to mind is sleep. Yet, there is so much more to the evening hours that turn into night.

I have on an occasion or two and it’s wonderful. The house is still, with …

I Remember When…

Where do I begin? I have so many memories locked away that I sometimes feel that the emotional wave of memories can cascade out, just like Niagara Falls. I have a coworker, Rose she is so very dear to my heart. Almost daily she and I will reminisce about so many things from growing up as young girls to young women “dancing the night away”!

For me…this is the “Softer Side of Life” just letting your mind run away with anything that your heart desires. Feathers-A Softer Sife Of Life “Feathers appear when Angels are …

With A Grain of Salt…

Seriously?? There are just some things in life that just need to be taken with a grain of salt. Never let it get the best of you. Just “sort-of let it roll off of your back.

How can that be? Wasn’t it like the beginning of summer break not that long ago? It seems to me like time is flashing by at warp speed. I’m beginning to realize it even more now the older that I get.
