Day 9 of 365

Friday, well, as we return to the norm, this is the first Friday of that norm.  I’m excited, yet, apprehensive.  As I learn that absence makes the heart grown fonder, I need to realize that I am still somewhat plagued by out of sight, out of mind.  Things never really…

Sometimes I need to get back to Claire. I so enjoy being the caregiver; however, despite my willingness to do so without expectation it still takes something out of me. I compare this to Motherhood. I love my son and when he was young, I had to do a lot…

Clean & Pristine

I’ve always found great interest in what makes others tick.  Where their passions lie many times will give you insight into who they are as a person overall. One’s interest in cars could easily be compared to another’s love of fishing and so on.  It’s not really the same; however,…
