2020 Grown up Christmas List
This year has many of us rethinking what we have, need and can do without or otherwise kick to the curb. If you are an 80’s child we all remember waiting for the catalogs, Sear’s and Penney’s, to fold pages and circle what we wanted. How many of us as adults have wishes that looking back really aren’t memorable it is the moments. Now my list is much more simple. Please add if you want to respond. One day with my grown kids to bake and decorate the tree then watch Christmas movies. Spend time with friends and family that want to be around me without obligation. Be able to…

Have you improved to 2020 vision?
2020 has been a long year. I will never say that people getting sick is anything to find benefits in, but I do think this year has taught me some important things. Value your family, whoever stuck close to you this year are your peeps. Cherish them and tell them. If someone wasn’t there you for you it is time to purge and be ok with the decision. Online shopping is amazing but with cuts in jobs and salaries I have learned most of us live in excess and have more than we will ever need. If you had to leave your home tomorrow what would you take in an…

Navigating Grocery Store Etiquette
Long before Covid I joked there should be a coffee table book dedicated to the ins and outs etiquette of the grocery store. For most of us it ranks up there with a trip to the DMV. Now it appears (it only took a pandemic to make my ideas useful) we have directional arrows and circles at check out so we know how far to stay apart. It is like a giant chess game. I truly don’t mind rules, as a society we have proven we need them. We don’t know how to behave without them. I see others and I know I am not the only one who is…

I’m 50, It took me forever to get here and I won’t apologize.
Many days I see different social media. It is pretty easy to find in many posts regarding mom, fashion and beauty, fitness, mental health, food and creative/author bloggers. I have to wade through negative political posts to find the ones relevant to me, a woman over fifty. I am struck by the fact that there is no easy way to find all the information I am looking for in one place and what is relevant to me. Crazy if you search over 40 or 50 you find dating sites and weight loss at the top of the search engines. I know most of my friends are into far more than…

Find Peace and Joy in the Rainy Days
I woke up to a rainy morning today. It looks dreary but I got a cup of coffee and headed to the porch to enjoy the sounds. Everything is green, the birds are chirping and the dogs are happy at my feet. Mother Nature doesn’t seem to be bothered by it the way we may. Everything is bright and cheerful. Animals thrive and the plants thrive. Just like everything else in moderation rain is a good thing. Lately there have been “rainy” days in life. In the past 6 months too many to count. Yet if you choose to focus what is wrong you will never see what is right.…

You know you are a 80’s kid when…
Coming out of this pandemic I often wondered how we would’ve dealt with it back in the 80s. I believe many of our parents would’ve kicked us out the door and locked it so we could get fresh air. “Come back when the street lights are on!” Not that our parents were mean but they did the best they knew how to do as we do now. You know you are a 80s (even late 70s) kid if you were told to go drink from the hose if you came in for water. When you came in for a snack and they told you to get out and threw you…
