This week has been a wild ride
in more ways than usual.
First it snowed so much that,
no one could ride anywhere.
Then I started a new job,
where I arrived by sheer luck
for training, training, training,
and, did I mention, training?
My mind is not as elastic as it used to be.
A complete two inch binder
of information,
about caring for the elderly,
was crammed into my mind this week.
I wonder what info was lost?
I guess if I run into you and smile and say,
“Hiiiii! How are you doing?”
and never say your name,
You’ll know your name was some data
that was overwritten or lost. Please forgive me.
My mind decided knowing CPR was more
important than names of dear friends,
and that knowing how to help an
elderly person fall gently
is more important than
my passwords for
OverRide and GoodReads.
So what I’m saying is…
if you run into me somewhere and,
I seem a little distracted and blank faced,
it’s because I lost part of my data
this week and I’m trying to recover it.
Please wait…

I'm a native Texan who has lived in Colorado since July 4, 2007. I was born and raised in Lubbock, Texas and worked at Texas Tech University for over 22 years.
I have three primary loves: God, people, and life! My chosen career of caring for people is directly linked to these three loves. I love helping people and have a natural knack for it. I believe I have been called to use these loves and skills in my work. I've always felt that and, whether working as an administrative assistant, medical office manager, or as a home caregiver, I work hard to put others first, to assist where I can, and to do so with professionalism and discretion.
In my off hours, I become completely enchanted by beautiful words, colors, designs and nature. I love to read, write (especially poetry), and to travel. I also love to crochet and knit, so I’m constantly fighting a too large yarn stash that tumbles out of closets, drawers, and hope chests.
My husband and I have been married for over 20 years. From a prior marriage, I have two wonderful grown sons, a delightful daughter-in-law, and a toddler grandson with whom I am completely in love.
I wish I could say my blog has only one theme such as crafting or photography or poetry. If my blog has one centralized theme, it is healing. My intent is simple. I want to share my heartfelt love to heal and inspire you, the visitor, to go out into the world each day with good energy, great courage, and love to share with others.
