I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl

I just watched a movie on Netflix named βMudboundβ. It was powerful and depressing and you know what? Iβm tired. Iβm just tired of all of the violence put upon people that donβt match up in skin color. Just plain tired and sad. Itβs been going on forever and nothing changes.
The song was inspired by various events in Cooke’s life, most prominently when he and his entourage were turned away from a whites-only motel in Louisiana. Cooke felt compelled to write a song that spoke to his struggle and of those around him, and that pertained to the Civil Rights Movement and African Americans.

Joe was the typical fanatic when it came to watching his son compete as a track and field participant and his son, Mike was an exceptional runner. Watching from the sideline it was hard for Joe not to yell encouragement for Mike. The relevance of some typical parentsβ comments bothered Joe. He believed in being positive only. The cumbersome presence of unruly adults required a few coaches to require protection! The results of these childish adult actions seemed a furphy reported in the local news, but Joe and the participants knew it to be true.
