In the past I have not taken very good care of myself and ignored my medical issues (and I have a LOT). Now that I am in my mid-40s, I can’t ignore things anymore. Good thing I smartened up, too, because my blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides were all bad (being almost 100 pounds overweight

When today’s writing prompt came up, I kind of went blank. I mean, there are SO many things I could, and should, do more of. More exercise, more healthy eating, more organization, and so on. So, as I thought a little more, I realized that all of the things previously listed that I could do

The year was 1996. I was a junior in high school. Our world history teacher, Mr. Fred Bartek, was going over rules and expectations for the course as it was an AP History course. He was telling us that there would never be a valid excuse for not getting the homework done. He then uttered

I found this book in a country store on my last visit to NH. I was so excited! I haven’t read this book since 7th grade over 30 years ago! I am about 40 pages in and loving it as much as I did in my early teenage years. In my earlier childhood I lived

When I first saw today’s writing prompt, I didn’t think there was a word I would give up. I cuss a lot and don’t care that I do – it is part of who I am. There aren’t too many words that I say repetitively that I mind either. Then a word popped into my

Grudges are like chains around our hearts and souls. Yet we cannot help but hold onto them sometimes. Some pain is too hard to ignore, even if you can forgive those who cause you pain. Life is too short to be surrounded with negativity. That being said, my grudge is against my mother. Without going
