My therapist gave me the optional homework of keeping a journal about how it makes me feel that I’m not out to my parents. I’m using this blog—at least for the next couple of entries—as a journal. I’ll understand if you don’t want to read on, but I hope you’ll rejoin me when I’ve worked … Continue reading Editing My Life

Joy and Sorrow, Together and Apart
Have you ever won anything? A sports trophy? A medal? A commendation for a job well done? A prize for the most cookies, cars, or houses sold?

Not … Continue reading Joy and Sorrow, Together and Apart
Only 5 months Until Con
Lord have mercy, it’s already March. I just don’t know where February went. I've heard so many people have said the same thing. I think part of the problem is the weather. We’ve all been so slogged down with just getting through the horribleness and just getting through each day that we didn’t notice the … Continue reading Only 5 months Until Con
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

So even if you leave your home at roughly the same time … Continue reading A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum

Getting on Track
It’s been a few weeks since I last blogged. That’s because the holidays, as they do every year, kept me very busy. It all becomes a whirlwind of pressure and I sometimes wonder if I’ll make it to the new year with my sanity intact. I always do. Sort of. Then the holidays ebb away … Continue reading Getting on Track
Christmas Caroling
Has anyone else noticed that holiday music is the only music that we listen to continuously, year after year, for decades? I mean, radio stations still regularly play “Here Comes Santa Claus” by Gene Autry, “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” by Burl Ives, “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” by Brenda Lee, and “Have Yourself a … Continue reading Christmas Caroling
