Wow…

Wow…that’s the first word that popped into my head as I watched the LRO/LCROSS mission take off late Thursday afternoon.  What a moment, and how honored I felt to be sharing that moment with people connected with the project and their friends and family.  It was certainly an eventful on the edge of your seat [...]

Karma?

“What goes around comes around…”
The Golden Rule…”do unto others as you would have others do unto you.”
Maybe my mother’s voice in my head?
After work I noticed the “need fuel” light was on in my car. (I’m sure there is some techincal automotive name for that what’s-it but let’s just go with that.) YIKES, gas is [...]

Spread a little sunshine…

The headlines scream recession…times are bad..the world is falling apart. Fortunately in my corner of the world, things are ok. I have a job, a place that I love to live, and lots of friends to add sunshine and joy to my day. Both those that I see everyday, and those that I interact with [...]

Tossin’ and turnin’…

I can’t sleep..I think he culprit is the caffeine that I had too close to bedtime. So, I thought perhaps gettng up, writing a few random thoughts might help slow my brain down so I can get a little sleep tonight.
Good news at the pulmonary specialiast today–he thinks the coughing is due to allergies and [...]

Fun in the sun…

I arrived home from Miami at about 6:00 on Monday night. My luggage trailed behind and was delivered to my door after midnight. Even losing my luggage for a short time could not put a damper on the way I felt after attending SXSE 2009 in Miami. I felt well-rested, relaxed and like I had [...]

Can’t Seem to Sleep…

My mind is whirling, I can’t seem to turn it off to go to sleep tonight…all sorts of things dancing around in there.
I have my bag packed for Miami, my flight leaves at 3 tomorrow. I’ve got enough yarn and knitting projects in my back pack to last me a week–just in case they decide [...]

The Power of a Song

I watched the Country Music Awards tonight and found myself misty eyed through most of the evening. What the heck is up with that?
I realize that a big part of my heart–my youngest daughter LeighAnna is still in the cornfields of Ohio and as I watched the show I thought about all of the different [...]

Being a responsible adult…

It sure sucks sometimes…  
I’ve been sick with something for well over a month now.  I’ve been to the doctor, large quantities of blood have been taken and so far I know mostly what it isn’t, than what it is.  It’s not the flu, it’s not strep, it’s not mono–at one point it was maybe pneumonia, [...]

You know I hate green stuff, right?

I have to give @brendajos credit for giving me the idea to go “green” with my gift bags for hospice this time around.  It would have been much easier to just buy those paper bags with the handles on them, and stuff them with the goodies I found yesterday.  It’s a challenge for me to [...]

Fate or a nudge from the universe?

Yesterday I received one of those forwarded emails from a friend that struck a chord with me. I won’t copy and paste the whole thing, just snippets.
