I love these questions, so here goes: The Infamous Proust Questionnaire * Your most marked characteristic? understanding * The quality you most like in a man? Not being afraid of being present in the moment with me, in a non-verbal communication kind of way. I haven’t known many men that can handle that kind [...]

Tell me something (click on the words) I like that blog in general, he makes me think, more often than not, in a quirky kind of way. Enjoy it. I like that particular post because it’s true in my life. I’m much more interested in what you have to say, than in posessions or other [...]

It’s been a wild ride lately. So here’s an update about all that: My back is fine, healing, responding to rehab. It will be another month or two before it’s strong enough that I will be clear of rehab and released from care. My job has stabilized. I still have extra work, but in the end [...]

Are your parents married or divorced? Married 28 years when dad passed. Mom remarried and was married for the rest of her life. I’m the only one in the family that’s divorced.

Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely. Even though we’ve changed and we’re all finding our own place in the world, we all know that when the tears fall or the smile spreads across our face, we’ll come to each other because no matter where this crazy world takes us, nothing will ever change [...]

Forgive my lack of writing this week. I started back at work, and it happened to be the week of our yearly meeting where they bring everyone in and trap them in rooms for 10 hours a day for the annual (indoctrination) training. I usually refrain from writing about work here, and I will do that [...]
Self worth and the quality of my life.

I saw the surgeon this morning to get my staples out (YAY!!!!) and get my marching orders for recovery. Basically, I can resume living again, just carefully, no lifting or twisting until I work with the Physical Therapist for a few weeks on body mechanics and strengthening. I can drive, so after PT tomorrow I’ll [...]
