Thinking about something interesting… {Image from Improve my marriage.com} Last night I was up late, reading the Reader`s Digest, (which has been my favorite mag since I was 12 or so), and there was an article in there, about a secret the happiest and longest married couples share: What is it? They know how to [...]

Why i can`t blog today…
Does your laundry ever make you want to weep? It might be my favorite household chore, but wow, when I get behind, it just kind of breeds on me. This is one, of FOUR total baskets I had to carry up two flights of stairs. It is clean and ready to fold. When I carried [...]
Valentine`s Day remarks.

I love winter– it`s my favorite season. I`m not sure that I have ever met anyone else who`s favorite season is winter. It is odd I know. I think it`s because my 3 favorite words to feel are: safe, cozy, and relaxed. And winter is a time for me, that I get to feel all [...]
