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

A windy day and as sails start to fill, I ponder with a lucid mind, my divine youthful days, fresh and new to the constant waves of life–started as an adventure, unaccustomed to the ways of the sea, and its powerful indifference.

Ornaments

Maybe it’s not too early to Christmas shop since I received this ad from Hallmark today. When my kids were small we would go to the local H store and delight in the decorations and papers and bows available. Now a lot of those times are forgotten and gone. Here is the 2020 ornament they offer with “sweet decade” title.

To me, the more appropriate one would look a bit like this for the year 2020:

Still has the tradtional red and green, not too scary, but..
