Today is International Day of Happiness (Happy International Happiness Day everyone!) It’s also #1000Speak Day for March. The theme this month is happiness. I have a much better understanding of “happiness” now than I ever have. In part, I think, because I’ve experienced unhappiness in my life. And it’s easierContinue Reading
Like most healthy couples, Hubs and I have had discussions about what happens if one of us gets sick. Not so much the day to day. More about our philosophies on life…and death. Of course we have our wills up to date, our financial affairs in order as much asContinue Reading

Today’s Blogher #NaBloPoMo prompt is: Pretending you have the expertise to make a product a reality – what do you wish you could invent? My grandmother’s father descended from a long line of engineers. I have no idea what type of engineers they were – or if they invented something,Continue Reading
