Confetti Effect
I Can Drive Fifty-Five!
I woke up on New Year’s Day with Sammy Hagar’s “I Can’t Drive 55” playing over and over again in my head. Why? I have no idea. I haven’t heard that iconic rock song in years but I sure did like it along with the MTV video that debuted in 1984.
Did you ever realize that God spelled backwards is Dog?
So what do dogs have to do with God?
Our beloved dogs teach us to understand God’s unconditional love. They are more than just our pets. They are our family. They are our friends. Their presence positively impacts our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. There are heartwarming correlations between God and dogs. They provide us with unconditional and endless love just like God. God is willing to forgive our flaws. God is attentive and He only asks for love in return. He couldn't be physically with us, so He created dogs
Loneliness or Aloneness?
Who’s talkin’ bout my generation?
Loneliness: the state of being alone and feeling sad about it.
Aloneness: the state of being alone but feeling wonderful and in good company.
My Generation knows the difference.
The day we were asked to stay home
A Pandemic Poem by Kirsten Telan
Home sweet home
We have been thrust into your space
Even though we feel safe amongst your steadfast walls
We weren’t ready to be told we can’t leave this place.
Social distancing and quarantine
Two terms that were quickly added to our everyday vocab
This is a whole new Covid territory we are exploring
And finding out it began in a Chinese city called Wuhan in a biolab.
Make The Best of The Empty Nest
It’s awfully quiet around here….
They grow, we nurture them, and watch them fly away. Suddenly our nests are empty, our children are gone off to find their place in the world. How will we cope? Whatever will we do with ourselves? When the family home empties parents often start feeling lonely. Their purpose for living ~taking care of their children ~has vanished. This is when the Empty Nest Syndrome sets in.
Dog Gone It
When people who have never had a dog see their dog-owning friends mourn the loss of a dog, they probably think it’s all a bit of an overreaction, after all, “it’s just a dog.” I know this to be true because I used to think this way. However, after my beloved pug, Buddy passed away in January I knew the truth. Your pet is never “just a dog.”
Losing my dog was its own kind of sorrow, different from any I have felt before.
