October 14th of 2020 was when I started this website. I’ll reach four years of posting twice a week this October. That’s so huge for me to think about. I’ve written two webposts every week for four years, and you’re probably wondering why I’m bringing this up on July 31st instead of celebrating it inContinue reading “Big Four Double Zero”

Make a Change

Cat Person
It’s an age old question. Do you prefer dogs or cats? I can honestly say that I love both. Each animal has traits that make them unique and special. However, if I absolutely had to pick over the other. I would pick cats. My choice comes from having the greatest cat in the world forContinue reading “Cat Person”

Denying a Dream
How do you sate a dream you’ve denied?When that longing creeps an ache to your chest?Do you let it run it’s course?Shove it down to keep it at rest? Perhaps you humor it?Think of impossible “what ifs”Find a movie and escape for a while”Find a task to distract you from denial? What do you doContinue reading “Denying a Dream”
