He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother

Describe a family member. My bother is about 6 years older. As kids he would waffle between looking after me and torturing me. He was a good big brother and I always thought he and his friends were cool. When our dad died young, my brother took over as a surrogate father. He took careContinue reading “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother”

Perfect 10

What are your top ten favorite movies? 10? Yikes, I’m not sure but here goes. Movies that I love, made me think, or are just comforts. I’m not putting in quotes, sue me. That was easier than I thought, definitely thought of some others but this will do. Now I want popcorn and milk duds.

More sleep

What’s one small improvement you can make in your life? I don’t have the best sleeping habits. I try to go to bed early but sometimes I stay up late doing something silly or I fall asleep on the couch. I’m trying to be mindful of having restful sleep with no interruptions.

Family vacations

Have you ever been camping? In the 80s my family has a leisure van, I probably could have omitted “In the 80s”. It had captains seats in the front and a bench seat in the back so we sat sideways but had a great view of everything. We traveled a lot in it, going toContinue reading “Family vacations”

I get more done by 9:00 am than most people do all day

When do you feel most productive? I get up early before work and try to bang out a project, clean or get my run in. I feel better knowing that I can cross one thing off my list. This time of year when the sun rises early I can be up at 5:00. I may,Continue reading “I get more done by 9:00 am than most people do all day”

Teamwork makes the dream work

My sweet old dog has trouble going up the stairs, or even finding the stairs. I help her out by either lifting her up or just picking her up. I tell her “We are all in this together”. She can’t hear me but it makes me feel good to let her know that I haveContinue reading “Teamwork makes the dream work”

Class Pictures

I’m thinking of starting a book club where we read books that we enjoyed as kids/young adults. Each month a different person will choose the book. After the group discusses it the person who chose the book will discuss why it was chosen and the impact it had. I think my friends may think it’sContinue reading “Class Pictures”

Coming in like a lion

I love the spring but sometimes I want it to slow down. I am happy that it is light out later (though not in the morning) but I feel like the spring rushes past and soon it’s summer. I like having a cold day, I like having some of the darkness. I haven’t finished myContinue reading “Coming in like a lion”

I’ll get to it

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done. My basement. I keep waiting for the right time to tackle it. I have some of my family’s stuff down there. I could probably throw everything away and no one would notice. I’ll get to it, someday

Lieberry

I’m old. Okay, not old but I lived before the internet. When I had to do school papers I would go to the library. I’d look up books in the card catalog, the Dewey Decimal system. As a kid my dad would take us once a month or so to the main library in ourContinue reading “Lieberry”
