That’s Life
While taking Java for a walk, I saw an elderly woman standing at her trailer with her horse. I was wondering if there was a problem, but with Java in tow, I didn’t know how I could help her.

I know my writing at times is depressing. I guess writing about how I feel is how I cope with the bad times. It’s not where I stay all the time though. I get daily e-mails from an organization called Divorce Care that suggests ways to get through grief, anger, depression and other emotions and issues…
Thursday night, after another tough day at work, I watched the season premier of Grey’s Anatomy that I had recorded a week ago. I sobbed through most of it. The episode was about how everyone was handling George’s recent death. Here is a synopsis of the closing dialogue (which was mostly people’s thoughts, not actual…
When I titled my post yesterday, I really wasn’t thinking about the lyrics to the song, which I’ve included below. More fitting than I realized. The Captain and Tennille were married in 1975 and, sigh, are still married. I wish I knew how to make that second verse work. No super powers for me. Love…
I’m on Vision and Verb today. I almost re-edited my post there after some of the comments I’ve had lately on my blog and on Facebook. You’ll see the portion of it I’m referring to. But I left it as is because I’m a work in progress, and I’m writing about the journey. Journeys include…
Maery’s Morning I almost ended up with one less horse this morning. Something frightened Luke and Murphy when they were going out the back of the barn and they turned and ran back in. Luke went in his stall. Murphy went out the front door into the open yard. He crashed around hysterically in the…
Crazy, busy day. I’m never ready for Christmas and this year is no different. I wrote my Christmas cards last night and wrapped a present for my son, so the key thing to get done today was make a trip to the post office. I was dreading that, knowing how busy it would be. So…

That is so great you were able to help that woman. It always feels so good. Alot of people would have just kept on driving, and she could have been there for awhile!
I think it’s a gift we’re wired that way– that helping others helps us too. I’m glad t hear you sounding so up. Keep looking for the good stuff. 🙂
Mary, I wanted to thank you for the comment you left on my blog yesterday, and all the other ones, too. I don’t know why I’ve never made it over here before. Look at everything I’ve been missing! I’ll be back.
It’s great to hear you sound so positive Mary. I promise it gets better.
Good to sit and blog with you any time!!!
Glad that you could help that woman with her horse using your expertise!
I agree about not waiting for crises to be over to have fun. If we did wait, I think that we’d never have fun!
It’s very true that it’s best not to wait to enjoy what you can in life. It seems like there’s always something. I went back and read some of my journals over the last 10 years… what I discovered was that even though this is certainly a hard time in my life, I’m coping much better than I used to. I’ve gotten stronger in the midst of the pain and the uncertainity. Reaching out to others is always a great perspective shifter too. Life is too short to not enjoy the fresh air and a great cup of coffee. 🙂
You are really cookin’. Helping someone can make you feel great.
Linda of 7msn – thanks for stopping by. I enjoy your blog so much! Makes me want to live in New Mexico.
Linda of CA – Thanks for the comment. I avoid looking back at those old journals. Who was that person? So glad I’m not her anymore! I’m sure one of these days we’ll meet in person through my sis. Maybe we can jam!
Everyone else – Helping others, along with seeing things with new eyes, eyes that see all the great people (this means you) and experiences that surround me, is a true blessing.
