My blessing, today my daughter was flown in rom Frisco and will drive with me back to the West Coast

Some people count their blessings based on material wealth. I guess there is nothing wrong with that really. For me, I count my blessings with my health (very active at 67, still do 100 push up a day), but most especially the love of my children,

When/How Do You Introduce Your BF/GF To Your Kids?

Here's a very sensitive issue for me. I've been hiding my relationship from my ex-husband and my almost 11 years old son for a long time now. Few months ago, my son picked up my phone and read some messages exchanged between me and my BF. He took

Lending A Hand

Last week, while mending the fence, my neighbour’s wife came over to chat with me. While talking, her seven year old son joined us, asking if he could help me. The woman was astonished. I suppose with five kids in the house she could do with all the

The End Of The Line.

I have often wondered about my purpose here on earth; for I do believe that we are all placed here with a purpose. I have done ok for myself and there is nothing that I need to be ashamed of in my past; yet I have achieved nothing. I ha

A Home At Last

At last I have my own place again. When I saw the place, I fell in love with it. It had been badly vandalized during the last year since the previous owner absconded to Mozambique. All the electrical fittings, wires, and cables were stolen. All t

Skeletons In The Closet

I have few skeletons stashed in my closet and I believe most of us do. I try hard not to think of them, always do my best to forget them but they're there and something would remind me of them from time to time. It's no longer a complete secret but

The friends issue

Family, that’s one thing. Even the whacky relatives are part of the furniture, but friends are different, friends are the family you choose. So - if your friend makes friends with someone you really dislike, and wants to be all pals together, wh

We Are All Weak and Incomplete Without Each Other

There is no such thing as “equality” between a man and a woman. We can only be truly happy in a relationship if we understand and accept our imperfections and roles in a relationship. Men are always the protector, the provider, the tougher and

Visual Creatures

I often hear that men are visual creatures. If that is true, a blind man has a definite advantage over the seeing when it comes to sex. They see with their hands, don’t they? No, I don’t envy them; I don’t want to be blind, but I admire the way in wh

Health kick

My unwelcome guest

I love browsing in second hand book shops. I bought a book about magic and was leafing through it one night when I inadvertently evoked a demon from the underworld. It said it had come to carry out my bidding, but I couldn't think of anything for i

Remembering those bloggers who are no longer with us...

I'll scroll through some old emails or check photos in my phone and come across someone who passed on. While I'm not close to any CS members, I do remember those bloggers who were an active part of the CS community and are no longer with us. Nearl

MAN 'OH' PAUSE....

Last night my best woman friend tells me she asked her husband for a divorce after 17 years. She is a very athletic woman who runs 50 mile races, so being in her early 50's she has starting the process of menopause. We use to discuss it a lot because

America is no longer offering liberty and justice for all.

I watched some, not all, of a highly emotional video although I REALLY hate videos which try to manipulate my emotions which is why I didn’t watch it all and haven’t linked it. It was a tale of abortion refused, and the year that followed. Strippe

The Very Clean Teapot

Some years ago my wife and I went away for the weekend; my mother stayed at the house and minded the kids while we were away. Not long after we returned we noticed that the inside of our teapot, which was normally tea stained almost black, was now g

Confucius, ancient Chinese thinker....

.... and his plugs for respect for our elders/ancestors.. I began to like this guy, when I read that he used his leather bound I Ching so much, that he had to replace it several times. Culturally time period stipulated advice, sure enough. But dou

While the right is watching Hunter...

While the right is watching Hunter, it appears they turned a bling eye to Jared. I said it a while ago, he's soon to be next in investigations. Chris Christie has said it publicly Jared and Ivanka earned millions while in the White House. Jared popp

She Is No More!

My dad’s girlfriend is history. On Sunday, while my sister took her on a tour through the garden, I happened to find myself in the bedroom where she left her handbag. This was by sheer coincidence. She had been very careless. Her handbag was open and

Tension in the aisles

Doing the weekly shopping isn’t one of my favourite things but, luckily, I can make it more bearable by combining it with my hobby of people watching. One conclusion I have reached through my observations is that couples should probably stop going s

What good a friend are you for if in the direst of needs you aren't there? Can you share what your beliefs are on friendship? Or better yet, who are your friends? Here is my story. I have only three friends, I mean real good friends. One is

Go well...

To me, go well has such a beautiful meaning. It says, be careful where you go, don’t get hurt, please don’t let others walk all over you. Walk tall. It’s also a gentle message that says , I care. When you go I will see you again, it doesn’t sound as
