Hello world! It’s a balmy spring day that started a bit too cold for my taste. Those days are days that take forever to get going…even with responsibilities nipping at my ankles I’m just dragging today. Good thing I work from home or I’d be sacked for sure. Welcome to my blog. I hope you’ll stay a bit and keep me company today. Life is going at lightening-fast speed and there are days, like today, when I feel like I’ve missed the boat or been asleep for a few years…but how can that be when I’m so freaking tired all the time! HA! It’s this age I think…The “after college-before retirement” time block that we motor thru… Everything is so planned- school/career/spouse-ship/parenthood, etc..little phases of our lives that we concentrate extremely hard on and then before you know it we are in another phase and don’t even remember how we got there or where the time went! I’ve been so busy making a niche for myself in my work that I turned around and 5 years have passed. Did I enjoy those five years? Really? I can mark that time by the bad things that happened- I lost both parents, there was a bad storm that damaged my place, etc…but what about the “good” things? Were there ANY good things? Or have I been like most “thorties” (thirties-to-forties) so hell bent on making each phase of life perfect that I forgot to enjoy any of it? That auto-pilot mode of going thru life has got to stop. Life is moving so quickly and before I know it it will be gone and what is there to show? How many days of joy? How much real happiness will have marked my life at the end?

This is a journey to finding myself, my happiness and a life that belongs to ME again. This is my collection of thoughts, editorials and articles.  

Walk with me…
