Bad Days Happen
I am grateful that my ‘bad’ days are seldom. That said, they are still hard. I had a bad day recently, and I wouldn’t say I liked it. Logically, I know they happen and can usually figure out the cause. I still do not want them. They remind me I am not normal. The most…
The Sun Came Up
This is not a political post. Yesterday, November 5, 2024, marked a significant day—election day in the United States. From the moment I was old enough to vote, I have been captivated by the presidential election process. It’s been a remarkable experience to watch how various states cast their votes. Back in the 1990s, we…

Joy Comes In the Morning
One day last week, as I was driving back from the grocery store, the phrase ‘joy comes in the morning’ popped into my head. I knew this was a verse in the bible but did not know exactly where. After a quick Google search, I got the full verse: “Weeping may endure for a night,…

Health Anxiety
Health anxiety is fear and concern with the belief that one has, or is in danger of developing, a serious illness or an additional illness. Many people who have lifelong health issues can experience Health Anxiety or other types of anxiety. For me, anxiety has been something I have dealt with for the past 10+…
Why Hope, Love, and Gratitude
Well, my initial response to that question is, why the hell not? In all actuality, I have learned that hope, love, and gratitude make a difference in healing and everyday life. The problem is that I choose to forget that these three actions are very helpful. Hope Hope is “a feeling of expectation and desire…
