• WHAT HAPPENS UNDER THE STREET LIGHTS

  July 1, 2011

  There are some special (or not so special) things you should tell your children when they are very young. Our parents were one of the few in the neighborhood that expected total obedience from early childhood on; We did not leave the porch without permission. We could not even cross the streets w...

• AT LEAST ONCE A DAY

  June 30, 2011

        At least once a day I pick up the phone and start to dial her number, anxious to tell her something so important it can't wait. And then I remember: There will be no one at the end of the phone. As a matter of fact, the phone number is no longer…

• If You Really Knew Me

  August 3, 2010

  If you really knew me you would think I was a stupid old hag....I am probably an old hag but I am most definitely not stupid...and sometimes I actually help people.  I helped someone today and it was a great feeling!  I am sure they didn't think of me as old, ugly or stupid at the&...

• Ugly People

  June 5, 2010

  Every time I look in the mirror or see a picture of myself I am horrified.  When did I become so ugly?  No wonder no one cares about me!   I don't think ugly people should be allowed to live.

  Literally.  I have realized over the past several months that I could come home on a Thursday or Friday and die, hopefully in my bed, but just die and no one would know until Monday or Tuesday when I didn't show up for work.   How sad is that?  I have people I talk to reg...

• That’s What I Get!

  November 10, 2009

  Growing up, I always assumed I would get married (I did) and have a family (I did) and grow old with the person I married (I didn't).  I always thought I would marry someone who would love me as much as I loved him.  I imagined birthdays and Christmases and other holidays that were home...

• Alone In My Room

  January 6, 2009

  Whole days go by and I don't think about him.   But he is never far from my thoughts.  Will there ever come a time when he isn't there, lingering in the corner of my heart/mind? I know he is with someone else but I always wish I had done things differently.   I have loved him…

• Famous Last Words

  September 12, 2007

  In some cultures a person's last words are very important.  It was that way with my mother's family (she came from the hills of Kentucky).  Below are some actual last words of some very famous people and some not so famous people. Antoinette, Marie, Queen of France (1755-1793)  &qu...
