She Talks Too Much!!!

To the men out there, did the title of this post grab your attention? Can you identify with the sentiment? When it comes to men & women, it's a well-known fact that women tend to talk more than men do. Of course there are exceptions, but on average, women speak about 20,000 words per day, compared to men, who speak an average of about 7,000 words per day. I think my family members would say I top the charts at over 100,000 words per day. That's just a guess, but I'm likely not far off the mark! I try & I try to use less words, but it's just so difficult.

Remember Paul Walker, but Others Too

The death of every human being is a loss. Sometimes it may seem that one person's death is more important than another's. Why just this morning, I heard the traffic reporter on the radio say that a huge section of the freeway had been closed because someone jumped to their death off a freeway overpass. How tragic & very sad for that person's family who has to cope with their loved one's suicide, especially during the holidays at this time of year. This person's death will not make national headlines. Only those who knew this person, & those who heard the traffic report, will be aware of this individual's death.

Venting, & Other Healthy Habits

It's been awhile since I've written anything here. I haven't felt like writing. Writing for me, is cathartic. It soothes the soul. It ignites something in me that I am passionate about. It gets me motivated to encourage someone else in some way or another. But I've been dead. Too much stress. Too much on my plate & feeling overwhelmed.

Adopting a Shelter Pet is Worth It

Today, as I am typing this, my little dog Maggie is lying down on the hard wooden floor, resting near our cat Ella's litter box. I have no idea why she likes to sleep near where our cat does her business. Meanwhile, Ella is lying all cozy & snug in Maggie's dog bed. Why Ella chooses to steal Maggie's bed when she could easily apply her cat's agile "springs for feet" aeronautics to jump up onto our bed, the couch, or any high surface she chooses, is beyond me. I can only surmise that stealing Maggie's dog bed is Ella's way of enacting vengeance for those times when Maggie steals Ella's cat food.
