Returning from Thanksgiving I was exhausted. I told myself it was just exhaustion from having had several weeks of sleepless nights prior to the trip, combined with the the drama of dealing with a myriad of problems while on the trip (such as the kids and grandkids flight getting cancelled, the redeye rebookings to a […]
A New Day Coming -by Mychal Wynn When the sun announces the dawning dayJust flex your muscles and start on your way.Go over, or under, around, or throughAny obstacles or hurdles that challenge you.There’s a new day coming.

The happiest nightsI ever knowAre those when I’veNo place to go,When the missus saysWhen the day is through:“Tonight we don’t haveA thing to do.”Oh, the joy of it,And the peace untoldOf sitting ’roundIn my slippers old,With [music and book] In my easy chair,Knowing I needn’tGo anywhere!Needn’t hurryMy evening mealNor force the smilesThat I do not feel,But […]
I can’t count the number of times in life that I’ve thought to myself, “I wish everyone would agree to just slow down and take a break at the very same time so we could all get caught up for once!” However, never in a million years did I expect it to actually happen…and yet, […]
