Life doesn't always turn out the way you want it to
So I’m sitting here directly in front of the fan. It’s gotten cooler since the sun set.

It will always be alright

Photo Credit: Jaskirat Singh Bawa via Compfight My former boss was celebrating his 40th wedding anniversary a few months ago and I asked him what was the secret of staying together for so long.

I'm tired of wishing
I’ve been doing a lot of wishing lately… I’ve been wishing that I hadn’t said that, or hadn’t done that, or that I had taken the opportunity when I had a chance… I’ve been wishing you could understand, wishing you would ask me about it, wishing I could speak boldly and clearly… I’ve been wishing …
I've decided that I'm not going to die (lessons from The Help)
I recently listened to the audiobook “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett (affiliate link) and the main character’s mother (Skeeter’s mother) said something that was so profound. Skeeter’s mother was dying of cancer, and there was so much going on, she was throwing up, she couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep, she lost her teeth, lost her …
