When you looked at the title, you probably thought, “What?” Actually, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about Time’s passing. My oldest grandson just turned 14, and gosh it seems like he was just born! Do you remember when you were a kid, and your parents would say it’s two months before you could go…

“Turn, Turn, Turn”
Our WORD BY WORD Blog is supposed to be about encouragement and inspiration. I gotta tell you, it’s hard to find those words in the aftermath of another school shooting where three nine-year-olds, and three adults lose their lives. Difficult to find those words when a school full of children, their parents, and the staff…
Early Spring in FEBRUARY!?
I know for many of you that makes no sense as you are buried under feet and feet of snow over a loooong time. But here in Texas, we’ve hit an early spring. Well, actually, almost summer. 90 degrees a couple of days ago was nuts. In January, we had one bad week of sleet…
New Year New Goals
We’re almost at the end of January, and I’m wondering did you set goals for the new year? I asked this question in my January newsletter and got some great answers. I also realized, maybe we all could use a bit of help with understanding what a SMART Goal is. You see it’s not good…
End of the Year
As cliché as it sounds: Gosh, how fast this year flew by. It’s hard to believe 2022 is almost over. Lots of good things have happened. Lots of sad things have happened. As in any year. I hope you feel good about more things in your life than not. And I hope the things you’re…

US THANKSGIVING 2022
Are you celebrating this holiday this weekend? I know our Canadian friends celebrated last month. If you’re traveling, I hope you don’t have too many delays or dangerous roads to slow down your celebration. I hope you’re with family and/or friends. My family comes to our house for the day. From our first married Thanksgiving,…
Happy Halloween, Almost
What are your memories-recent or long ago- about Halloween? Is this something you always celebrated? Did your kids? Do you remember maybe back in the early 80s when we had the terrible scare about nut cases putting bad stuff in kids’ candies? Unfortunately, now we’ve got nut cases putting drugs in some bags. Makes me…
Taking Stuff For Granted
On my own blog yesterday https://authormarsharwest.wordpress.com/2022/08/25/so-this-happened/ I wrote about Charley & me falling. My hand is lots better, but typing is slow. (Charley has had a bit of a setback, and we went back to vet Thursday afternoon. He did have a cut between his toes, so now he has a small boot on it…
Holidays in Books
Our neighbors to the north recently celebrated Canada Day. Here in the US we have the 4th of July next Monday. It used to be one of my favorite holidays as a kid. My dad always set off fireworks, and we ate fried chicken and potato salad. Um um good. I’ve had THE THEATRE on…
