I am a retired teacher who quit drinking and found happiness! After going deaf, I now have two cochlear implants!
Dear Readers, I’ve been struggling with binging on food at night. Anything can trigger me, especially salty foods. Sometimes I even hide food from Mr. UT. I wake up feeling bad. I have had struggles with binge eating ever since I had hyper thyroid disease in college. Most people lose weight with this disease, as … Continue reading The Softer Side

We finished our beautiful vacation with a sunset hot air balloon ride, which was gorgeous! There were many balloons going up at the same time, and it was like a festival! The one thing I noticed the most, was how quiet is it up there. The occasional blow of the fire into the balloon is … Continue reading One of Many

So I … Continue reading Self-Pity Slips Away
