There is Still Hope

No matter how much we try to fight the ageing process, it still keeps chasing us. Some people spend quite a bit of money on trying to look younger as they age, but the internal ageing process still...

My God, My Father

Unresolved Pain

Happy Thursday!   Hello, hello, hello, and happy Thursday! To be quite honest, I'm not feeling it today. My moods can fluctuate pretty fast, and this is one of those times. Do you ever get that way? Can you be over-the-moon one day, and then memories or situations hit and then bam, you're down in the dumps?    Well, I'm not going to let it ruin my whole day or anything, but I...
