  • Coming to Terms with My Changing Eyesight

    I am finally coming to terms with the fact that my eyesight isn’t what it once was. Not just because I’m getting older—I expected that—but because even with my reading glasses, seeing clearly has become a real challenge. When I’m writing, I constantly stop to check whether my glasses are dirty. I wipe them over…

    Resetting My Life! I’ve been in my head the last few weeks, trying to figure life out. However, I am trying once again to reset my life by doing a few things differently and revisiting some old habits that I know are good for me. One of those things is moving my body. I have…

  • You Pray

    As parents, we can find it painful to watch our children make choices that remind us of our past mistakes. And what’s worse, they refuse to listen to the wisdom shared. I was remembering that I am where I am today because my loved ones kept praying for me, and they kept loving me. They…

  • When Caring Is Misunderstood

    When Caring is Misunderstood  I recently made up my mind to stay in my lane, which basically means minding my business. This is something I thought about doing, especially when it comes to people I care about.   I had a mammogram a couple of months ago.

    When my teeth started bothering me again. I made an appointment with the dentist. After an examination, it was decided that all my teeth needed to be removed. I would get a complete set of dentures. I was happy about the dentures, because I needed new ones, as I only had partials. However, the thought…
