Sweet summertime
Summer is in full swing. Every year, I hope we have a mild summer. Every year, I am wrong. But then again, I live in Texas where it is hot, especially in the summer. This past spring was glorious! We had lots of rain that brought on an abundance of wildflowers. Texas...
Roots of my raising
I was on my way to work early this morning, listing to old country music station. A song came on that I haven't heard in years. It was "The roots of my raising" by Merle Haggard from 1976. In 1976, I was graduating from high school and listening to the Eagles,...
Ebb and Flow
There is an ebb and flow to life. Highs and lows. Some days we are just so grateful for everything, some days, not so much. During times of the lows, it is easy to stay down, to just give in to the feeling of sadness, loneliness, grief, resentment and even anger. All...

A noisy world
Too much. It has been a busy, noisy world lately. Everything is vying for attention. My iPhone buzzes me with breaking news, texts and messages are constantly pinging. Social media is beginning to be a battle field of...
A fresh taste
My mood a few days back. I was getting bombarded with all kinds of things. Things that may seem small to some, more than they could have handled to others. I could not get my bearings set, a good nights sleep or keep my heart from racing. We all get bad news, sad...
It is in the details.
Details, details, details. It is easier to see the big picture. Only glancing momentarily, letting it skim your thoughts and moving on. It is like looking out an airplane window. You can see the patchwork fields, big cities and flowing rivers....
