Living A Good Life Despite...

{Here’s to my first blog blunder. I accidentally posted a date without a piece of writing and I don’t know how to delete it. Help! I only had a little blog tantrum. So you will see the date of December 3rd without a posting - sorry. I’m still navigating.}



Despite the pain, hardship, adversity and difficulties that life dishes out, we have to find and create the good.


1. Find ways To Do; it’s always easier to come up with ways not to do. That’s called excuses.


2. Allow for fun and silliness. It’s very freeing.


3. Seek out opportunities to do good; don’t wait to be asked. It feels good to extend oneself.


4. There’s always time for work; make the time for play.


5. Pursue interests and passions; it keeps one feeling excited and alive.


These are just a few of my "pearls of living" that I’ve incorporated into my life with zest and fervor. Because of my daughter’s miraculous survival and recovery from a medical crisis, I , her mother, feel as though I’ve been given a second lease on life.
