I look at the bright evening star and wave to Mama. We had three good years together. She left in time to celebrate her 92nd birthday in Heaven with many other of our family members. Being Mama’s caregiver was a wonderful journey together. I’m glad we were able to enjoy each other’s company, write books and share many conversations together. This experience has helped me accept the fact that I want to continue to live in my own home for the remainder of my life. Onward!

How I did it: Called Aussie Pet Moblie after seeing and ad with a coupon offered. I had another dog who was groomed by this service, too. Guess she was getting ready for Dog Heaven, because she passed away the next day - clean and happy. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I have been wanting positive people around me for years. I realize now that it is my behavior that is the key. "You teach people how to treat you"... that's a Dr. Phil and a lesson given by many people. I now counsel once a week with my "guru" teacher/counselor by telephone for 1/2 an hr, @ $1.00 a minute. We review my progress. I now choose who I want in my life. I found out that I certainly don't do well with people of DENIAL... excuse … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I buy blank greeting cards by Avery. I take a photo of a picture that I've painted and scan it into Publisher for my card. I print out a lot of cards. My mother (now 91) and I send out cards to family and friends. It is a worthwhile project and much-appreciated by those who enjoy my art. In years past I drew black ink-line drawings of a church or skyline of the city. To save money, a postcard can be printed instead of cards. Read how I did it…

I drink Sportea every day – especially in the morning to “change my mood”. I’m usually a bit crabby in the mornings… but Sportea makes all the difference in how I feel.
Picked up a DVD burner on Craig’s list w/o instructions. So, I’m “in the dark” about how to use it. Looks “self-explanatory” but it’s “beyond me” at the moment.
I’ll eventually figure it all out and celebrate when I can use it.
Onward!
