"Life is short. Time is fast.

No replays. No rewinds. 

So love and enjoy every

moment as it comes."

~CSpoet

So enjoy running across

bits of wisdom in small

pieces!

They seem to everywhere

you look, if indeed you're

looking!

We're living in tough times;

make no mistake . . .

Methinks the Universe is

conspiring to hide little bits

of encouragement in all the

right places.

In thinking about it, going

to keep my senses to the

ground . . . just waiting to

find the gift of today!

Blessed be . . .

"Find your place on the

planet. Dig in, and take

responsibility from there."

~Gary Snyder

Oh, so like this attitude.

I imagine many feel they

can do little, hence they

do naught.

Obviously being elderly,

one cannot do a great deal.

I pick up trash peeps toss

out the window as they

drive by. I keep a nice yard.

Do several small donations

each month.

We can each do a lot or a

little. Still, we all must do

something!

"Take a breath and begin

again." Goddess Love

Good one!

May be just what I need

to get through winter 

SAD.

Sooooo appreciate my

fam and friends stopping 

by. Rather helps me to

cope.

And, this has been quite

a gentle winter. Much as

I like it, I know we need

the gift of water that snow

brings.

I know it's hard to believe

but I'm actually rooting for

snow . . .

"I was just minding my

own business, and the 

next thing I know I'm the

same age as old people."

Happy Hippie

Never been a mirror gal.

Never worn makeup or

been much into hairdos.

Sooooo, when I happen

to accidentally see me in

a mirror as I'm walking

by, I'm always startled

and amazed.

When did this happen?

I really don't mind. Ever

so well pleased just to be

alive. Not a gift allotted

to many, after all.

I find myself filled with

gratitude that I'm still

here fighting those pesky

daily battles. I still stand

tall, walk straight, firm

of stride.

So if you overhear me

complaining, please just

give me a good slap and

tell me to get over it!!!

"Beautiful things happen

when you distance your-

self from negativity."

@Motivational Life

Alas, methinks negativity

gets plenty of play in this

world of ours!

And, maybe I can't help

a great deal with that. At

least, I need to make sure

I'm not wallowing in my

own negativity.

Seems like the Universe

sends these brilliant little

messages. Sooooo need 

to pay more attention!!!

Today, I'm going to watch

and learn!!!

"And if I am a disaster, 

I am one that will blow 

you away with what beauty

can be born from storms."

~A. Shea

Coming to the conclusion

that disaster may just be

common ground for all

of us. Frankly, 'tis a most

interesting place to be.

Can't help but wonder how

come it's taken me so long

to figure out?!

So what with libraries

getting run into w/thous

of books on the floor and

no weight loss because

of it, figure I may as well

go with the flow here!

I also get that I'm in the

p.s. part of my life . . .

 . . . so may as well sin

on the side of fun and

imperfection!

"Don't ruin a good

today by thinking

about a bad yesterday."

~Unknown

'Tis most sorrowful 

how we hang onto 

the negative per se. 

Not quite sure why 

those pesky minus

points supersede all

the wondrous and

glorious we should 

be remembering . . .

Bears thinking about,

doesn't it!

Sooooo today, whilst

working on my tax

prep, I'm going to 

go out on a limb and 

struggle to be positive!

 Sorry! 'bout to go into

hysterics here . . .

02/04/2026

'Tis a lovely week in 

the upcoming forecast.

I have a couple of feels

re this. For me, what

with SAD and all, I am

delighted.

For Colorado, I feel both

bad and concerned as we 

much need both snow

and rain to store for our

needed water usage.

I also get the feeling that

Mother Earth is none too

pleased with us just at the

moment and for a long

time now.

When will we ever learn?

Does it really take that

much to pick up our trash?

Recycle? Use and re-use?

Stop using a ton of little

water bottles already?

Rather bears thinking

about, right?!

"You are worn and cracked

and dented. And that is okay

because I have never heard

of a clean and shiny sword

that won a war." 

~Erin van Vuren

Sooooo love me some good

quotes! This one started my

day off on just the right note.

Somewhere 'twixt and 'tween

SAD and a 16 year old texter

shaving off the side of my

garage/library . . . NOT doing

so well.

So, already being down, I

decided to work on my taxes

yesterday. Alas, methinks I

may just be a tad loony-tuney!

Not sure what I'll get up to

today. I may just sit by the

side of the road and with can

in my hand ask for donations!

02/02/2026, Imbolc

Alas, I am so tired . . .

Sooooo not sure if 

I have the energy 

to face this new trial.

I pray Lady Brighid

grant me what will

be needed to survive.

02/01/2026, OMG . . .

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

There we were, just

minding our own biz

when we heard this

loud bang. We both

thought someone had

hit a deer.

Unbeknown to us, a

very young new driver

had just taken out the

side of the gar/library.

Praise the Universe 

she wasn't hurt, but her

new car was totaled.

Inside the library, books

everywhere, treasures

broken, bookcases down.

Had I started crying, don't

think I'd have ever stopped.

'Tis good we have friends

looking out for us as I'm

wayyyyy tooooo upset to

even think just now.

~!@#$%^&*()_+/?

Today marks the end

of Dry January . . .

I do it every year, 

along w/May and Sept.

Always wonder if I'll

make it. 

I so enjoy drinks w/my

guy, fam and friends. 

I make a point of not

imbibing on a daily 

basis. So, methinks I'm

safe as long as I can do

my three months a year.

Mental checklist here.

I think I'll break my fast

with a couple of margs!

Salud . . .

p.s. Hats off toHeineken
non-alcoholic beer. 'Tis
the best I've ever had in
its genre!

01/30/2026

My heart is heavy with

these horrific things

happening in our world

today.

Rather makes me want

to stick my head in the

sand and pretend I'm 

not here.

I keep thinking . . .

"What can I do to help?!" 

'Tis one of the things 

the elderly suffer . . . 

this whole not being 

able to help!

Then I recall some

advice from days of

yore . . . "Do what 

you can around you." 

'Tis the miracle of 

concentric circles. If

everyone does what

they can, the circles

around one and all

will overlap.

Even at my age . . .

I can hope and pray.

I can be kind to those

around me. I can write.

Methinks we must all

give what we can . . .
