A Child’s Poem

Dear Readers, I thought I'd share this poem I wrote for children: ******** I thought I heard a cardinal, Singing out a song, Then the woods were quiet, Perhaps I heard it wrong. ******** Suddenly a flash of red, Flew up above my head, He had called a lady friend, Who was waiting to be … Continue reading A Child’s Poem →

Escaping Victimhood

Dear Readers, Mr. UT is making dinner, as he does every night, and I am writing. We are still walking almost every day, and we actually ate in a restaurant and had pancakes! I will be flying to see a friend in Arizona next week! I am a bit nervous about flying still, but I … Continue reading Escaping Victimhood →

Grateful for Indoor Plumbing

Dear Readers, Mr. UT and I have been dog-sitting a cute little love bug this past week. She's very easy to take care of except when we are trying to get her to do her business in the cold. And it's been very cold and snowy for several days here. I'm talking about temperatures of … Continue reading Grateful for Indoor Plumbing →

Green is a Color, Too!

The Weeds Call to Me Dear Readers, When Mr. UT and I plan our walks or hikes in fall, I think about where we might find the best color. Sometimes we get lucky, but other times, there aren't a lot of the fall colors I love. There might be a splash of color in one … Continue reading Green is a Color, Too! →

Staying Optimistic

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 →

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 →

One of Many

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 →
