I find it interesting to look back and recall how I felt in the past, compared to the present. Sometimes that is painful and sometimes it feels good. Today is one of those days that I feel “good” and know that looking back, I can remember times when it didn’t – and for that I […]
I will quite enthusiastically say that I especially enjoy and appreciate historical things and relics of the past. Some of my favorite memories, places and items are those which have been around much longer than myself. Some of my faves: Angkor Wat, Cambodia – This was an absolutely breathtaking site to behold.

For years I wanted to be older, and now I am. – Margaret Atwood There’s some truth. I remember thinking when I was young(er) about how much I wanted to “grow up” and do all those “adult” things that seemed so fun! I can’t really say if things turned out how I expected, or anticipated, […]

As sad as it may be, falling OUT of love often teaches us the most lessons. Falling IN love is where many of the great memories are made and “feel good” moments live, but falling out of love is where we are forced to grow, or at least consider the process of reflection and growth. […]
As I am now of a certain age, 34, I am well past the “high school” years, and can now reflect. I see many “teen” movies these days and they are FAR different than my high school experience ever was. I suppose that’s to be expected in some ways, for dramatic flair and such, but […]
