Preparing for SAD

August from Previous Years Dear Readers, I have always been affected by low light levels in the day, and especially in the afternoon. One time, a doctor even wanted to put me in the hospital for it, as it led to not only depression, but binge eating at the time. Summer was the same as … Continue reading Preparing for SAD →

To Hug a Sunset

Sunset at Lake Bde Maka Ska, Minneapolis, Minnesota Dear Readers, I am not an early riser. Never was, never will be. So I hardly ever catch a sunrise, but I can see a sunset. Where I live we have many trees so it's difficult to see the broad horizon. Instead, in the evening, I watch … Continue reading To Hug a Sunset →

Reconnecting

A Blue Sky Day! Dear Readers, I am reconnecting to my writing. I have missed it, but felt such a void of thoughts and words, I really had nothing to say. So many people are suffering in so many ways, that anything I think of to say or write seems trivial. My emotions have run … Continue reading Reconnecting →

The Softer Side

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 →

Joy

Dear Readers, I keep waking up singing a song from an old, sappy movie titled the same, Joy in the Morning. I've never watched the movie, but found it in an old music book, and used to sing it long ago. I am not sure why my memory is bringing this song to me at … Continue reading Joy →

Holding Hands

The sky touched me today, Showing off eagles playing in the wind, Brushing my face with blue and white. I am so very grateful we can get outside and hike or walk. On Day 2051, Wendy

Perseverance

My mother has been through some of these, having been born in 1925. She will be 95 on Easter. A concert violinist for all of her life, she only retired … Continue reading Perseverance →

Holding Hope

So happy we can walk outside! Dear Readers, I’m writing this on my iPad, which I have done before, but it sure isn’t easy! I have to stay away from Mr. UT because he is working with our computers, and is in his “work mode”! Yikes! Lol We were lucky we had already adjusted to … Continue reading Holding Hope →

These Times

So many thoughts circling in my head, Like the falcon circling in the sky, Looking for its prey, I keep trying to grab one, But like a mouse, It scampers away. So like the falcon, I am left hungry. On Our Walk By the Minnesota River Valley Dear Readers, Mr. UT is helping me stay … Continue reading These Times →
