Shedding
Winter fur is dropping Spilling all over the floor The collar holding up a head ready to roll Instability and shakiness propping the legs Time to shed that winter coat Face what is to come
Celebrating a birthday during a pandemic
Almost every year, it rains on my birthday. I’m a May baby. Somone who loves spring despite the allergies. Even the rain can’t keep me down. Today is my birthday and besides the rain, there’s a pandemic. I get to wear a mask and stay six feet away […]
Forgot that it is spring
Twitter reminded me the other day that spring had finally arrived. I love the spring season. I look forward to it each year. I’m a spring baby. I love to feel that things are blooming. Although, my allergies most certainly go haywire. Spring is about rejuvenation. It’s about […]
If you want a rose do not run from the thorns
There are times when, like Madonna, we have to make it through the wilderness. Ok. I’m being silly. I haven’t quoted Madonna in ages. I do wonder what she has been up to lately. Although, apparently I don’t wonder all that much considering I haven’t bothered (nor will […]
I’m a spring baby but I adore autumn
I’m always a little sad when summer is over. It means I get to see my baby son a little less as he has to do that school thing. He just started 6th grade and his complaints have been endless. He was quite offended that they gave him […]

Growing up one celebrated one’s birthday on that set day or maybe on a weekend day. However, it wasn’t (at least not for me) a month-long celebration. Now, many people I know go big for their birthday with month-long celebrations. I am not quite at that stage but […]
I can taste the spring
Breathe in the air Dream of tulips Feel the twigs under my feet Crunch away on the granola and mars bars The chirping birds are giddy The squirrels blasting a nut It’s time to feel free No icecream worries No fretting over a pinecone A refreshing breeze And […]
Pet peeve: All jackets should have an inside pocket
I love spring. It is such a fabulous season. It’s about rejuvenation and reinvigoration. The birds wildly chirp and flowers start to bloom. Ok. That last bit is hard on me. My allergies have been killing me. My eyes feel like they are going to fall out. My […]
29,000 steps: For now my fitbit tolerates my west coast living
While I am not a complete fan yet of Los Angeles, I have come to appreciate (its not very hard to by the way) the nice weather. I have especially come to appreciate sun and 70 degree weather in the so-called winter time. However, make no mistake […]
Break free from the winter doldrums
Break free from the winter doldrums Sometimes we are caught in our own little closed-off-to-the-world dark shack. We want more from life but can’t quite get our window shutters to open or even get a functional door onto the world. This dreary winter has caused many to hunker […]
