If a train doesn't stop at

your station, then it's not

your train." 

~M. Williamson

Sooooo love me finding

bits and tads of wisdom

wherever I look.

I would have to confess,

the metaphorical much

pleases me.

Another confession . . . I

much enjoy all the wonder

that the Universe brings

each day.

We live in difficult times,

yet any and everywhere

you look there is beauty

and joy.

Not sure whether we 

should simply overlook

the ugly, try to fix it, or

accept that it's part of

life. It is what it is and 

I have no advice to give.

The Ides of March have

passed . . . enjoy the time

you've been given.

03/15/2026, Ides of March

"Beware the Ides of March."

~William Shakespeare

 

As I grew up reading The

Bard, I've always celebrated

the Ides of March. 

Although I appreciate its 

historical significance. I

enjoy and value modern

day reminders . . .

 . . . especially, spring is

on its way! And Saturday

the 21st is only a few days 

away!

Enjoy!

"Ides of March - Historically

marking the assassination of

Julius Caesar in 44 BC, this

date serves as a reminder of

betrayal, political upheaval.

Currently, it is also a key 

day for settling debts and 

recognizing the start of 

spring." Wikipedia

Yesterday was the best

Fri the 13th E V E R !!!

Although the wind was

scary, fam and friends

to visit made the day.

We shared a few, talked

a lot and listened to

guitars and song.

I went to bed a happy

camper . . . and yes, I

intend to enjoy today

as well.

I know we're not to live

in the past, but it's such

a comfortable place to be.

03/13/2026 - Friday the 13th.

Oh my God, I've never,

ever seen wind like this.

80 - 100 miles per hour.

The trash cans blown

out in the street. Limbs

broken out of the trees.

Tables and umbrellas

overturned.

It's so scary watching

this happening. Just

don't know how many

more hours it will last,

nor the price to be paid.

'Tis the eeriest happening 

I've ever witnessed.

Methinks the gods must

be ever so angry . . .

"True wildness is a love

of nature, a delight in

silence, a voice free to

say spontaneous things, 

an exuberant curiosity in

the face of the unknown." 

~Robert Bly

I imagine even the most

staid of us have a secret

longing to be wild. I sure

do!

I remember in school, 

both as a student and as

a teacher, 'twas the wild

ones who got the most

attention and had the

most fun!

My own wild resided 

in my intellect, but now 

we've come full circle . . .

. . . Methinks 'tis aging 

gives us permission to

set ourselves free and

join the wild.

So feel free to copy me . . .

ice cream for breakfast

and champagne in the

middle of the night 

when there is blood on

the moon!

"Brave are the ones

who stand on the edge

of sanity and do not

flinch." ~Lisa M. Lilith,

L.L. Musings

So enjoy this author's

writings. She never

misses the mark!

Seeing today's verse,

I am moved by the

depth within. I don't

feel our world is in a

good place just now.

It's most difficult to

stand firm in these

troubled times.

Methinks 'twould be

a good idea to read

these pearls of wisdom

each morn and vow

to stand tall and face

whatever we're dealt.

"Heaven and Earth

do more than hold us 

between them. They 

expect us to deserve

it." ~NR

Sooooo love me some

quotes found in my

daily reads!

Methinks they should

be memorized, lived,

and followed.

Not sure, but perhaps

it's just living each day

the best that we can, to

the best of our abilities.

(Emphasis on living

rather than existing.)

Happy day, living,

and being . . .

" . . . to be thrilled by 

the stars at night; to be

elated over a bird's nest 

or a wildflower in spring -

these are some of the re-

wards of the simple life."

~John Burroughs

'Tis how I live in my own

little wilderness.

Strange how I have town

and country on one side,

and Mother Earth and 

pines on the other.

I'm a Libra after all so I

shouldn't be surprised.

This early a.m. we awake

to 30 degrees and the snow

has melted to about half.

Seems more like spring than

winter after all . . .

"With age comes the

realization that nothing

is as attractive, rare, or

calming as kindness."

~Tennessee Williams

I so love the gifts age

brings to my table!

Harking back, methinks

'twas the large, fancy,

phenomenal that attracted.

And now, I find I'm in 

the mood for the smaller, 

tiny, sweet details.

I find it interesting how 

life presents us with all

and sundry over time. 

I feel so lucky to have

lived long enough to see

and experience different

perspectives.

Would mind another few

years to witness even

more!

"Heart, I implore you,

it's time to come back

from the dark." 

~Mary Oliver

The news says we got

8" - 12" snow, sooooo

right. 

My guy says we have

indeed have 8" - 12".

12" backyard, 8" side

yard, 10" front yard.

Bottom line, it's quite

the snow . . . white and

bright.

I am determined to like,

love and appreciate this

snow. We need moisture

ever so badly.

Wow! Just W O W !!!

03/06/2026

"If you're not sure what

to do, do nothing. Be still

and just listen to nature." 

Grimoire

'Tis 0' dark 30 and I am

indeed watching Mother

Earth upping our moisture

levels.

It has been snowing for

hours but only just started

accumulating.

I'm a nervous wreck just

watching the snow coming

down, but we so need this.

We're already discussing

sitting in front of the fire.

Methinks my guy might 

have to drag me down the 

stairs by my hair . . .

 . . . isn't staying in bed

today an option?!

"Gentleness heals more

than force ever will."

This Forest Within Me

Alas, methinks our world

today has forgotten even

this word . . . gentleness.

Everywhere you go . . .

you can hear parents 

shouting at their kids, 

drivers giving the finger, 

cutting people off.

How did we become so

impatient? When did we 

leave kindness behind?

Where are our smiles in

greeting?

My heart hurts!

03/04/2026

I'm having a look-see, 

as it were, at the gifts

aging has brought me.

Love the value I place

on each day. Get a kick

out of the fun things I

get up to . . .

 . . . like ice cream for 

breakfast, an all night

read, ever champagne 

to celebrate any and all.

I care for my mind by

daily writs, crosswords

and good books. Now,

if I'd only take equal

care of the physical, all

would be good.

I like to think climbing

the stairs about thirty

times a day counts as

exercise.

Bottom line, still loving

life. Pray I get a few more

years to be naughty . . .
