It’s all about me

I think I know a lot of people. I think I know a lot ABOUT a lot of people. That’s why I love when I’m having a conversation with someone and they reveal something about themselves that’s new to me. “I did not know that!” Five little words. Common, every day words. But in this…

I received several interesting comments in response to last week’s post, Messages and Masks. Some were submitted with explanation, others simply stated. A couple were discussed in *gasp* person. “The first thing that pops into my head is, I AM ME.” “I guess I’ll need more time, lol, because I can’t possibly sum myself up…

Had an interesting conversation with a friend the other day. I was telling her that I attended a paint and pour class hosted by a woman who wore a mask with a message printed on it. A simple message. An, “I AM” message. An obvious message. I wondered why she’d state something so readily visible.…

How’s that for an optimistic visual?! Me, the bridge over the chasm, connecting the sides! Unfortunately, that’s not what I mean. I’m exhausted by the constant…

Sidebar: If you don’t have that song by Alan Parsons Project stuck in your head already, click here. Blog post: Binge TV is nothing new. Heck, I’ve already written about it several times. But with the COVID lockdown, there’s been lots more, “What are you watching?” Of course it came up during one of my…

Read that again, just in case. How aren’t you? Last week my post was titled, How are you? in that moment, I was well. Thanks for asking. I hope you were, too. This week I wonder, how aren’t you? It’s a tricky question, but mostly because the wording challenges our sensibilities. When you stop to…

“How are you?” he asked. How much time you got? I mean, I could easily provide a lengthy, challenging, and emotionally charged response, right? After a brief moment of contemplation and equally quick dismissal, I said, “I am well. Thanks for asking. I’m here. I’m not wearing a mask. I’m outside. It’s not raining. I’ve…
