Is there anybody out there? It has been a very long time since I have written anything for others to read and ponder. That speaks to the power of depression I guess more than anything else. It was made clear to me recently that my depression was literally killing me. My eyes were opened andContinue reading “Hellooo Out There”

Beloved, well, this is the last post for the Monas Monday Musing blog. After much thought I have decided to stop posting. I am not sure if this decision is being driven by my diagnosis or not. Probably a big yes. Whatever the case I decided to stop fighting and quit. I get the feelingContinue reading “Goodbye Maybe, Maybe Not”

Good day Beloved. Just so you know I am going to arbitrarily put this post into place just for continuity’s sake. This year I received a “Valentines” gift of a new knee. I have been waiting for this for so long I can hardly believe it has actually happened. So far the best part ofContinue reading “Short, Sweet, Unbelievable”

Good Day Beloved, Can you believe it is February already? Seems like we were just gearing up for the holidays. Now, it is time for spring cleaning already. Are you familiar with the “Tiny House” movement? I have had the opportunity to watch a bit of “Tiny House Nation” on TV and I must sayContinue reading “Tiny on the Outside”

Good Day Beloved, Well, the second year of widowhood is coming to a close soon. In some regards it feels like it should be much longer than that and at the same time I still feel like I will hear her calling my name any moment now. When I first started writing about this “griefContinue reading “Mile Marker 2”

Good Day Beloved, Per usual I have been ruminating on a thought lately. Have you ever heard the saying, “when someone shows you who they really are, believe them.” I am a believer.  I have been thinking a lot lately about people and times from my personal history. I embrace the thinking that I willContinue reading “Who They Really Are”

Good day Beloved, Today is the day on the calendar when we are supposed to remember and honor the fight and the work that Martin Luther King did on behalf of people of color.  Let me admit something, I did not even see a person of color until I went away to college. You wantContinue reading “Honor the Fighters”

Hello Beloved, How’s the day? Do you get amazed at the “small” stuff anymore? You know how little kids can spend an hour watching a bug. Adults tend to just step on them. Have you seen a little kid shove a handful of Dandelions into their mother’s hand? So happy at the treasure they found.Continue reading “Little Miracles”

Good day beloved, Have you ever played the game of dominos? Until the first tile is played anything is possible. The first tile determines the limited possibilities for every move after that. The other day I wanted to move one single piece of furniture, what I got was a game of dominos. In order toContinue reading “Domino Effect”

Good day Beloveds, How does this last Monday of the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty-one find you? Still tired from the just past holiday and or anxiously looking forward to the one yet to come. Are you like most people and always hoping that next year will be better? Are there everContinue reading “Monday, Monday”
