Random Acts and God’s Plan For Our Lives
New Year's Eve is a special time for our family. We always enjoy sending the old year packing and welcoming in a fresh New Year. Some years are a joy to see go while others have been like old friends we hate to see leave. Since 2014 had been a so-so year, we simply waved "bye-bye" and shot off some fireworks. We enjoyed the surrounding neighbors setting off some real beauties and I swear, some "booms" sounded like small pieces of ...
A Toast to Christmas 2014
A lot of us are sitting here tonight, some maybe sipping a glass of wine or others zonking out and getting ready to go to bed. I am in the "sipping a glass of wine" crowd and enjoying the peace and quiet of Christmas night. All the pressure of working so that everyone might have a great Christmas is now gone for another year. I can say that the changes that happened to our family gatherings for this Christmas were a cause for stress. ...
What Christmas Gives We Cannot Buy
I went out this morning with great intentions. I was going to surprise someone with a card and pick up a gift for our granddaughter. Turns out I got the surprise.

Talk about a joy sucking monster starting to grow in my attitude. All it took was a look in ...

One woman on the news tonight, another expert in Parkinson's treatment drugs, made the statement that even ...
How We, the Brain Injured, Fight to Fit In Again
We, who are the brain injured, strive to live in a world where the term "short term memory loss" and brain injury is something that most people just don't understand. As someone who experienced brain injuries that included short term memory loss, I have to admit, for a long time I cannot remember anything funny about it. Having comments made to me by well meaning people who were trying to compare their forgetting where their car keys ...
The Day the “Old Me” Died
Things like this almost always seem to start off on a nice normal sunny day. We had planned a vacation at Topsail Island, located along the Southeastern coast of North Carolina. Since it was a holiday weekend, we were all eager to get started on the trip. It was a lovely day. Given that we had access to two vans, it was decided that our men folk would ride in one van and we ladies, baby and a tiny toy poodle would ride toge...
