I was looking for a poem this morning called “The Difference”. I found several good pieces, including what I originally set out looking for.
I think it’s important for people to know what makes a difference in their lives. For me, the difference in my life is made by several things, including:
My relationship with God
Prayer
My husband
My [...]

I received this little “test” last year from my cousin, who, I think, posted it on her blog. I was going to link to that, but haven’t found the post, yet.
Anyway, it’s fun, and interesting to see what your personality type and Multiple intelligences are, so if you like taking tests that you can’t fail, [...]

No, this isn’t one of those posts where I want you to respond by doing what I’ve just done.
This is a story about friendship, a story about Barb and me.
Barb and I have been friends since we were 17 years old. We’ve been through thick and thicker together. We’ve laughed, cried and prayed together.
Tonight we [...]

I woke up around 6:00 on Tuesday morning and was ravenous. I ordered some breakfast and turned on the television, to our local channel 3. It was good to see familiar faces, comforting to feel like I was back (almost) in the real world. Kristen came in with my Synthroid, Calcitriol and Tums. It hurt to [...]

I finally woke up enough to have a semi-intelligent conversation with my hubby around 7:30 PM. He told me that Dr. VLR came by the surgical waiting room to see him after I was moved into recovery. The report was good. The cancer was small and encapsulated. He was certain they got it all and it [...]

Okay, I’m a week past this whole ordeal and I’m able to sit at a computer for a while and actually type something so here is my story:
We woke up around 7:00 the morning of my surgery. I actually slept pretty well, which kind of suprised me. I wasn’t expecting that. I threw some clothes on [...]

Prom Day in ‘The Hood’ !!
Jar Jar, Lord Fauntleroy and Gunga Din … take note of the numerous police vehicles and the ambulance!
Prom dresses sure have changed since I was in high school !
What is that around her neck?
Why all the ‘POleece’ in the background?
There is a [...]

Last night my hubby and I went to a baseball game. This is part of his plan to spoil me rotten until I go back to work on Monday. I think I’ll keep him!
We drove to Chase Field to watch the San Diego Padres and the Arizona Diamondbacks (my team) play the opening game of [...]

I can’t express enough gratitude for all your prayers and good thoughts for me while I was in the hospital and having surgery! I got out on Tuesday evening after dinner. I spent most of the day yesterday in bed, scarfing down pain pills and moaning while watching baseball and basketball!
My thyroidectomy, which I learned [...]

In just a few hours I will head to the hospital. I am to check in at 10:00 and my surgery is scheduled for noon. I’m feeling a little anxious, but mostly I’m relieved that I’m so close to having this part of the ordeal finished.
I have a lot of confidence in my surgeon, and [...]

THE BACKSTORY………..
Back in early February, when I first knew I might have to have surgery to remove my thyroid, I told my boss what was going on with my health. His sister passed away about a year ago from colon cancer. Needless to say, my announcement that I have thyroid cancer was disconcerting to him. [...]

My husband sent me this article via Yahoo! Messenger this morning. I think it is a very good article, and I have to say that I agree with most of what Mr. Beck says. I especially appreciate the way he relates America’s problems to those of an Alcoholic as I grew up with an alcoholic [...]

It seems like only yesterday you were a tiny newborn. Everyone in the hospital said you looked just like me, and I thought, “No, she’s beautiful!”
You have grown more lovely, inside and out, as the years have passed. You are thoughtful, caring, intelligent and wise beyond your years. You have more courage than I could have ever [...]

A few years ago, when I was working at IBM, I was going through a rough time. I’d just been laid off, along with many of my co-workers, due to a reorganization of the administrative support for the managers. They had decided to provide minimal support to the lower level managers, through lower paid administrative assistants [...]

What historical figure do you most identify with and why?
I identify with Sacajawea. Her strength of character is inspiring, as was her ability to adapt to different environments and to find a way to fit into any situation, but to still be herself. She endured extreme hardship many times in her life, but persevered.
Which word [...]
