I am a retired teacher who quit drinking and found happiness! After going deaf, I now have two cochlear implants!
On Our Walk at the Minnesota Landscape Aboretum Dear Readers, A hawk came to rest on our fence post, and tried to catch a hosta-eating bunny. He failed this time, although, I wish he had prevailed, but one thing I know is, he will keep trying. I know I need to keep trying to keep … Continue reading Staying Optimistic
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
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
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

So I … Continue reading Self-Pity Slips Away

Dear Readers, I have been trying to pick a WOTY for 5 years! I could never think of just one, and I was always worried I'd choose the wrong one. This year I thought I'd try it, and I actually came up with one. I decided my word is "Challenge". I have been comfortable with … Continue reading Word of The Year
Dear Readers, Santa came to our house and brought delicious candy. Too much candy, so I told Mr. UT to hide it, and dole it out to me. He can moderate, except when it comes to cookies. I actually made sugar cookies, my mother's recipe, and they were so good, he had them for breakfast … Continue reading Candy Induced Thoughts
