Loving Life

  • NaPoWriMo Day Twenty-Nine

    I asked my muse what to write about today, and she suggested the idea of…. Paying It Forward An act of kindness once it’s done, Can echo far and wide. But that is not it’s true reward, For that is felt inside. Some do some grand, impressive act, In hope of gaining fame. But in…

  • Who was the richest person in the world the year Mother Theresa died? The greatest architect?  Don’t know?  Neither do I.  Nobody remembers them, but everyone knows who she is.  Wealth and power may be fun, but to be immortalized in the hearts and minds of the people, nothing beats outrageous acts of kindness.

  • Awesome Weekend

    Normally, Lynn and I take Chester and head up to the trailer when I finish work Friday. Last Friday, the weather was so horrible we stayed home for Chester. You see, Chester is a big puppy. There’s not a lot of room for him to stretch out in the trailer so we usually spend most…
