Where Anything Can Happen
Just plain chatting, thoughts of a philosophical nature, ideas on future projects
The hiatus is hopefully over and I can now get it together to write again.
There have been successes on a number of fronts including health, fitness, and crafting. Not so much on the housekeeping, but even there a few successes. Continue reading “Life Goes On, And Then Some!”
Did I say I was going to make this a positive blog? Well, it is hoped that most everything will be positive, but real.
Life is so hectic. I just looked at the first post this year, which turned out to be on January 1. Well, that is good. Today is the 16th as I write.
