My Dad gave me a few of my Grandma's old photo albums the other day. When I looked through them it was like taking a step back in time. It was so incredible to see my brothers, my Mom, my Dad, and my Grandma all looking so young. And on some pages I even saw a smiling six year old boy with my face staring up at me in sweet innocence. I wondered what that boy would think if he could see what would happen to him...
It's Better To Give Than Receive

Last night I saw a homeless man with two dogs. Normally I would just pass by without any thought. However seeing them two hungry pups made me sad. Instead of giving the man a couple of dollars, I ran into McDonalds and bought some sandwiches for the man and the pups. The man thanked me and wiped tears from his eyes. Just think about the next time you are having a bad day, things could be a lot worse. I never really...

When I was 16 years old I had thick, wavy, brown hair that covered my head including my ears. I used to part it in the middle and comb it back. It was so heavy, though, that the bangs often slipped back down under my glasses when I lowered my head to read. Sometimes when I was doing my schoolwork at the kitchen table I could feel the hair starting to slide down into my eyes again. Usually I'd just let it hang there,...

Growing up as a boy I was very fortunate to live in a house where a dinner of leftovers tasted even better than the original meal. A good example of this was when my Mom and Nana would make a huge pot of brown beans with cornbread. It would taste so great but we knew that the best was yet to come. The next day Nana would take the left over beans, throw in some pasta and Italian seasonings and create a delicious...

It was early spring, cloudy, and a cool afternoon. I was at home, retired from my job, recovering from an episode of clinical depression. I felt empty and unmotivated and alone. Sometime during the afternoon, a box of Juliette tomato plants were left on my patio! I knew who left them and not surprised as she knew my love of gardening and growing this particular type of tomato. She has potted them in larger...

It was the Summer of my freshman year of college. Instead of heading home for a nice, long break three of my friends and I had decided to stay and take some extra courses. The four of us had rented the top floor of an old house to live in. My own bed was jammed into a stuffy former laundry room and each night was a new adventure in humidity. Still, it felt exciting to be out of the dorms and in my own place for the...

In everybody's life a time comes when we really need someone, as a friend for to share joy, happiness, laughter, for conversation, for dinner. She wanted someone and he is there for to talk, to listen when she was hurt, angry and upset. He was there as a friend and he spread his root deep inside her heart, mind and in her existence. He is the only person that she wanted to with her in all the time, he touches her...

I was visiting a friend recently when I got to see something special. Now, my friend lives on a small farm several miles down an old country lane. It is far from the street lights and business lights of the cities, towns, and suburbs. When darkness fell then he led me out to his back porch where we sat and gazed up at the stars. Where I live the street lamps block out all but a few of the brightest ones, but here it...

This past weekend, my husband and I took a trip to Virginia to celebrate my niece, Sadie's 1st birthday. It was a weekend of family bonding and fun. We take our dog, Tater, a french bulldog, with us on every trip since she gets along so well with the kids. Watching the kids and dog interact and follow each other around is a bundle of joy. Whenever Sadie crawls around the house, the dog follows closely behind,...

Last weekend I saw something at Larry 's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie . What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer. The effects of the Tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long term adverse effect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to...

It was a glorious spring day in the middle of May. It was just 6.00 am in the morning; I woke up for “Rise and Shine”. I opened window and took a deep breath. Fresh air enlightened my heart and mind and gives me some hope for better tomorrow. In a world such as this, our dreams tell us all. Sometimes it may be a deep desire within our hearts, something in the near future to happen, or even something that is not...

It had been a long, hard day at work. At the time I was in my early twenties but by the end of the day I felt like I was ninety. Times were tough financially and the only job I could find was in a local lumber mill. That meant long hours for low pay. My days were spent cutting, carrying, and stacking boards with an injured back that never stopped hurting. My fingers were covered in band aids but still split and bled...

A few days after shifting to a new place I became an unwilling host to a pigeon who was bent on making a nest on the window, no amount of shooing or cursing would scare the winged bugger off, it even had the gall to attack and make me run for cover when I got too close. The little fellow in a bid to make a nest would fly off and make many trips to get some twigs, paper pieces. The twigs created a mess in my...

After shopping for groceries at our local Giant supermarket I had a few dollars to spare. My son Billy loves the claw machine with the stuffed animals so off we went to play. After 3 tries he had dragged an Eagles teddy bear so close to the opening but it stuck. I only had 3 quarters in my change purse so off we went to the gumball machines. On the first machine it ate his quarters. Customer service handed him 2...

I got up early this morning, hopped in my car, and headed to the local post office. I drove along with eager anticipation that something I had been waiting for would be there. It had been ten days since I sent for it and I was sure that it would finally be waiting in my mailbox today. When I got there I slid my key into the box and opened the door. My face fell, however, when I saw it was empty. I sighed and shut...

It is almost Groundhog day as I write this. That is the day when all of America watches as two men in top hats and suits from Victorian England reach into the ground and pull out a giant rodent to find out if it will see its shadow. If Mr. Groundhog does see it then we are supposed to have six more weeks of Winter, but if he doesn’t we are supposed to have an early Spring. Of course, everyone knows that we will...
