I’ll Take Mine Plain, Please!

Photo by Mr. UT Dear Readers, At my last writing meet-up group, we wrote on the word "plain". I thought of the definition of plain as, simple or ordinary. I struggled with this word for some reason.

A Bit of Uneasiness

Dear Readers, I am not sure if it's the changes of seasons, with lower levels of light, or a late summer cold, but I have been having feelings of uneasiness. A bit of sadness, mixed with a bit of anxiety, I think. I can't put my finger on it, but it is bothering me bit. … Continue reading A Bit of Uneasiness →

Completely Incomplete!

Dear Readers, I have decided I am completely incomplete! Perfectly imperfect! What's better than that! My mom at 94 still loves learning new things, seeing new sights, so even at her age she knows her life is not complete! I find that people in recovery rarely feel complete, or whole. They struggle, as I do, … Continue reading Completely Incomplete! →
