Yesterday I wrote about a visit with my doctor. One of the biggest take-a-ways from the appointment, as I mentioned, was his declaration of why I'm not feeling like myself: "You're without a thyroid and you have likely entered menopause." He declared it with a smile on his face and so matter-of-factly, that I had … Continue reading World Menopause Day…Really?!

Big News: Karma is Real!
A prompt for today's blog: Pretend that science has proven that karma is a thing. Your words and actions will influence what happens to you in the future. This quote was on Facebook today, a lot.

Martha, Martha, Martha
Martha has been friends with my sister Sue since they made their first communion together; it's been a long time! Over the years Sue would touch base with Martha, running into each other downtown or at a high school reunion.

Glossophobia, Not Me!
Today's writing prompt: We all know how to do something well — write a post that teaches readers how to do something you know and/or love to do. I speak well in public.

Nice Is As Nice Does, Indeed (or In Deed)
"If you can't say something nice don't say anything at all." Yes, Mom, it's still ringing in my ears. It's an expression emblazoned on the psyches of millions of kids who've heard it thousands of times from mothers, grandmothers, and teachers. Now as for doing something nice, that's also a value that is instilled at … Continue reading Nice Is As Nice Does, Indeed (or In Deed)

So, on to the writing subject of the day: Does the person you see match the person you feel like on the inside? Lately, I don't look into mirrors, I avoid … Continue reading Mirror, Mirror
The Luckiest Person, Me!
The prompt today encourages bloggers to write about the first person we saw today. The first person I see every day is my husband and while I love him to pieces, I'm going to put my own spin on the Luckiest People topic. The second person this morning I interacted with is a Facebook friend. … Continue reading The Luckiest Person, Me!
Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, Down In My Heart
What a fun song, eliciting smiles and memories of childhood songs from Sunday school or church-sponsored summer camps. The Weekly Photo Challenge: JOY, put this song in my head and it's been there since last Friday (when the challenge was posted). It also made this nice picture posted by Stephanie Ackerman Designs even more meaningful … Continue reading Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy, Down In My Heart
Betsy: New Year’s Revolution
The kid in the AT&T commercial may be on to something: New Year's Revolution. I'm sure I won't be the only blogger to use it as a prompt for my writing today; there are surely thousands of bloggers who will share their year-in-review thoughts or their promises for the year to come. I hope thought … Continue reading Betsy: New Year’s Revolution
Happiness Is A Choice
I was trolling my Facebook news feed looking for some inspiration for today's post. The past several days have seen an uptick in the number of posts to the Thyroid Cancer Survivors page; a page that I follow, being a survivor and all. Holidays for so many people are more chore than cheer, and it … Continue reading Happiness Is A Choice
