Are you good at what you do? How do you know? Where does your confidence come from? Does it build over time or does it come from that one amazing time that everything went right for you? The prompt at the Daily Post today is: I Have Confidence In Me. The first thing in my … Continue reading I Have Confidence In Me!

Flu Shots, Not So Bad
I got my flu shot this week. There was a clinic at work as part of our quarterly all staff meeting. Some nice nurses who are affiliated in some way with our health insurance carriers, set up shop at one end of the auditorium and anyone interested could line up for their shot. No one … Continue reading Flu Shots, Not So Bad
Say Please, Say Thank You
It doesn't seem a difficult thing to do to thank someone. I find it funny that it doesn't happen more often--or, at least I don't hear it. As a manager, regardless of where I've worked, I've always been in the habit of saying thank you to the people who work with me. I do it … Continue reading Say Please, Say Thank You
Weight Watchers Can be Fun!
I've battled my weight for years, or more to the point, it's battled with me. I've lost, gained, lost, gained, lost, gained, hundreds of pounds. I know that I'm not unlike thousands of women in the world. I've tried everything, again like most people, who've played the weight loss roulette. I have to admit though … Continue reading Weight Watchers Can be Fun!
It Can Be This Simple
Today's prompt on WordPress is "perspective". Bloggers are encouraged to write or share a photo in their post that documents perspective, how we get it, what impacts it, etc. I was looking through some notes I'd made about the other blog I occasionally post to, 3 Grandchildren, 2 Grandparents, 2 Cats; and I came across … Continue reading It Can Be This Simple
There’s Nothing As Good, As A Good Book
The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel must be intolerably stupid. — Jane Austen Lately, as I look for potential ideas to focus my daily thank you on, I find myself going to the Chasing Happy Blog. This month her focus has been to share something that … Continue reading There’s Nothing As Good, As A Good Book
Wish Lists and Holiday Dreams
In 2011 our grandchildren lived with us during the holiday season. As December approached the kids were bombarded, like any kid who watches tv, with commercials that would let them know what to ask Santa to bring them. On Saturday morning I would hear Coco's little voice after each ad for a new doll or … Continue reading Wish Lists and Holiday Dreams
Hand-Me-Downs, Rock!
Today I spent time, finally, making the complete switch in the closet from summer/fall clothes to winter. It's a less than enjoyable process for me, frankly. I am forced to look at things I've outgrown (and not necessarily in a good way) as I try to live by the rule "If I haven't worn it in … Continue reading Hand-Me-Downs, Rock!
The First One Hundred Days!
What to write about? Firsts? One hundreds? Perseverance, firmness, resolve, determination, fortitude; any or all of which it takes to get through 100 days of something. And where do we find our strength to live up to a commitment like writing every day for entire year, 365 days in a row; regardless of what else … Continue reading The First One Hundred Days!
Post 99
I've been thinking more about the content for tomorrow's post, day #100, than I have about today's, so I' m finding it difficult to identify a topic for today. The inspiration for blogging for 365 days in a row actually came from watching the movie Julie and Julia. If you haven't seen it, take a look, it's … Continue reading Post 99
