My Friend

My dear and faithful friend I have been waiting for you to come along… I have loved and been loved before, but he love was not strong to weather the storms. I have trusted and been disappointed. Because loyalty was to high a price to command. I have cried the doubts and worries away. Hoping

Prudence wins the game

Have you ever met someone with their eye on your ball? Given an opportunity, they will take your ball away from you and run to their goal. I learned at Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma during a game that people didn’t play by the established rules and cheated in order to win the game

Poetry

Poetry; an expression of one’s desires, thoughts, and hopes; music to one’s emotions, casting shadows upon the tides, evoking memories of bitter-sweetness, tantalizing the senses in awe. Poetry; a word…. a phrase… a reflection of one’s inner soul; counting the moments, awaiting the freshness of a child’s’ tender kiss, or the fire of a lover’s

A little effort can mean allot

Tonight, a very nice lady needed an ACC Request for her HOA requirements to get a shed installed on her property. She brought it by to have me check and make sure she had everything needed- she did!  I’m on the HOA Board of Directors. She didn’t have a home computer (gasp!) and was going

Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love, loves without merit, trusts without reason, shares itself wholly. Unconditional Love, asks for nothing in return but, is rewarded with another’s love. Unconditional Love,  tells you that you are unique, special and loveable. Unconditional Love,  goes the extra mile to believe, building one up, instead of tearing one down. Unconditional Love, is without

My LORD

My LORD os a special spirit, that settles upon me like a dove; so soft and gentle does he comfort me in all of my tragedies. He tells me of all the wonders he has in store for me to behold. He tells me of the galaxies the pilgrims have called their home. He shows

Meadow Lark

Trill-et …. Trill-et! I hear the call of a meadow lark on the balmy September air. Trill-et …. Trill-et! I bent my ear, intently listening to its trilling tale. Trill-et …. Trill-et! And lo to behold, as the moon glimmered beyond the trees and the last rays of light kissed the sky a solemne good-night,

Happy Jack

Eyes crinkled by laughter; mouth spreading in a toothless grin; rounded belly shaking with mirth; there’s no one quite like Happy Jack! Humor racing through his imaginative brain; compassion lacing his words of endearment. Happy Jack, a face of love and a heart full of laughter that’s my…. Happy Jack! Truth, honesty, integrity, a man

Quiet moments

I gaze upon the snow-covered landscape. Glistening in silvery white in the moon’s waxing glow. Stillness abounds as I peer through the window. My warm breath lingers on the panes. A nighthawk squawks; in the distance a dogs bark pierces the night resound “gruff!” “gruff!” the headlights from a passing motorist break the spell. The

Band of Gold

I hear the sounds of Indian Songs from long ago… Of tales so real and pain so sweet wrapped tightly in a band of gold. I remember the days gone past… Cherished dreams and wonderous hopes wrapped tightly in a band of gold. And though my dreams shall fade and my hopes be long forgotten. I

Depression and Stinking Thinking

This is how it works. You can wake up in a fantastic mood, invite a friend over for coffee and then realize the house is in a bigger mess than you thought. So you shower and dress and begin in earnest cleaning the kitchen and doing laundry. The anxiety mounts, your friend comes over and

Princess Bella

Bella had an extended family Birthday Breakfast this morning, She really enjoyed pulling her gifts out of her bag.  She is quite the little Princess at two years old.  She loves to eat pancakes for breakfast and have apple juice. Cousins w/aunt,

The old meets the new learning styles

Teaching my great nieces (9y & 16y) remotely with the cell phone and laptop can be quite a challenge for anyone. Have you read the USA President’s Handbook for Health, Fitness, and Nutrition lately? (not exact title but should be)  Talk about a mind blower. It is lengthy and has many links to it for

Farewell Dr. Puskoor Kumar

Dr. Puskoor Kumar passed away from a heart attack in March 2017. I had just visited him three days prior and he seemed just fine to me. I met Dr. Kumar in 2002 and hit it off as a patient-doctor duo. He was a gentleman, with a kindness about him, and a determination to help
