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

Two Cents

I just saw that Colorado had over one MILLION cases of Covid. Think about that for a minute. This isn’t going away so why isn’t every single person no matter their age wearing a mask, taking precautions and acting like this is serious? Why is there constant whining about taking these safety measures?

We are ALL sick of it, agreed, but why not use a little common sense?🙄 Schools are reconvening without requiring masks. 😳

Simply Six Minutes

I often watch from here. It’s harmless really, I don’t approach, I only watch. I realize it’s not healthy, my mind and body should be elsewhere, doing something, anything…anything to ease my pain, heal my heart. I don’t expect you to understand, I only want a few glimpses of what I could have had, would have had, if only I had given in. There’s nothing wrong with giving in sometimes—I know that now—now that it is too late and I can only observe from a distance what I am missing.

Not Again

Jesse had been at it again. With a long sigh of disappointment, Frank called his friend at the station. “I was expecting your call, yeah, it’s Jesse. I’ll hold him till you come.” Frank pocketed his cel and went to the garage. As he opened the auto door, the light showed his precious Maserati was missing, again. Holding back his feelings, now turning to anger, Frank yanked open the door of his pickup, thinking this is the very last time, buddy.

Cosmopolitan

A broad brimmed white hat atop a sleek styled black shiny coiffure adorned the finely boned facial features of the woman walking into the room. A white slim sheath covered her tanned form from neck to calf with six inch heeled sandals strapped to perfectly pedicured toes. Her look was as intentioned as the cool cosmopolitan in her manicured hand.
