Do you lurk in the shadows watching me? I am so exposed. I put everything out there, hoping you will see, will read me, will view me—will watch me and know how I feel, how I still feel. Open, my life is a book, written on pages before you, and everyone can read it, read […]
The first thing we must do when walking a new path is to determine what we should or shouldn’t take with us. For me, I heard a wise man say once that we should only keep those things in our life that are useful or beautiful. Everything that is not useful or beautiful, we should […]
Physical therapy is going well. I’m able to sit up for longer and do more without as much pain. This is the ultimate goal, especially with ankylosing spondylosis, The spine is eventually going to fuse together. Physical therapy helps keep me active as long as I possibly can. My therapist has some stretches she taught […]
I talk a lot about the fun part of being owned by parrots. I talk about how cute they are, how cuddly they can be, what an honor it is to be loved by these little guys. But I don’t talk about the other side of the coin, the bad stuff, nearly enough. Because it’s […]

I’ve been using a walker for very short distances and I’ve been using the wheelchair for everything else. I try to walk with the walker as much as I can, but […]
It comes in all forms and, grief does, and there’s no one way or right way to grieve. Everyone does it differently. I’m constantly grieving the loss of things in my life, grieving the things I can no longer do, grieving the things I’ve physically lost, grieving people lost to me threw moving or death, […]
I don’t complain too much. I try not to, anyway, but sometimes I do. That’s what this blog post is going to be, because I need to get a few things out of my soul or off my chest or out of my head and on paper so it doesn’t choke the life out of […]
…I never leave the house. I stay home or in my own vehicle so I have never had a reason to wear a mask yet. But on Friday, I have to go get blood work done and rest assured, I will be wearing my mask–for multiple reasons but the biggest one is, it’s the law […]
