      My list was smaller but then I'd remember another and another.

    Mine has included four cars so far. The most recent has turned out to be an amazing car. We bought it new in 2003 and it is still going strong! We really got our money's worth with that one.

      Just like pets, there's always one that stands out over the others.

    Fun! I can't remember most of the years, but our first car was a maroon Chevy Nova, and it was old when we got it in the early 1970's. Then we had a couple of old Volvos, the cute little round ones. Then a gray Chevy Nova, a green Subaru Legacy station wagon, a maroon Subaru Forester, and now a blue Subaru Forester. I have probably forgotten at least one.

      I'm actually considering a Subaru Outback to replace my flex. I want something a little smaller. Not for awhile though.

      My nova steamed up the front window year round. Always had to have a towel handy.

    I got my first car when I was 25. Hmmm, let's see if I can remember the list:

    1 - 1976 Datsun 710, used
    2 - a Mazda, can't remember its year but it was my first NEW car
    3 - 1992 Toyota Tercel, I drove this one into the ground!
    4 - 2013 Toyota Yaris

      Those toyotas run and run. It might be my next one after I kill this flex.

    My very first car was a rust colored Pontiac Astre. After that a white Pontiac Sunbird. After that there are too many to remember. A navy blue Monte Carlo, a tiny little tan car I can't remember the make or model, a turquoise Trans Am with T tops, a bright blue Ford Tempo, a blue Ford Mustang, a blsck truck, a green Dodge Caravan, A burgundy conversion van(my personal favorite), a tan Excursion, A dark gray Nissan Exterra, a green truck, and now a black Nissan Pathfinder. Good Lord, but my husband likes to buy cars. This is awful, humbling and embarrassing especially since I know I am forgetting a few. Two years ago I told him NO MORE!! I want to drive this car I have til the wheels fall off. I am tired of car payments!

A Journey To Home

My tender hearted girl decided she wanted to foster an old lady. Selkie is 14, is nearly deaf and nearly blind, has a hard time walking and uses her bark to get her needs met.  She got her home, took her for a bath and then basically loved this old girl for three weeks until the property manager decided that it wasn’t a good match (barking too much AND because she is a pit bull).  My girl knew it was probably temporary but she gave that dog a comfortable loving home, away from the chaos of the shelter, for a short time.  Ideally, she would have walked her home but that’s not how it worked this time.  Last night she stood and ugly cried on a strangers shoulder after giving her back.  I love that girl and her sweet heart.  I wish Selkie a new final home full of love.

Private Eye

We pass by the house frequently since it sits on a busy thoroughfare. We know to look every time we pass and guess what will we see. Will it be the two Dalmatians, sitting on the couch that backs up to the giant panel window, waiting for their human to come home? Or will it be their human, sitting slightly to the right of middle (allowing for a better view of the giant mounted tv across the room) of the said couch. They are never there at the same time. It’s one or the other. One sleepless night, when my body was willing but my brain was not, I did a little sleuthing. It’s amazing what you can find out about a complete stranger.   His name is Gary and, from what I can tell, he’s never been married. He has worked his way up in a air duct company. He’s now the senior VP but it’s a small company and he still goes out on jobs, judging from  the reviews on Yelp. I know he has two siblings and that their father passed away in 2018. His memorial was held in a Buddhist temple and Gary...

Go!

 Vai. E, se der medo, vai con medo mesmo. When one is raised in an angry family, it’s not enough to say I don’t want to be angry. You must learn how to do it differently. That’s no easy task. If judgment and self hatred became a way of life, a new way to live has to be taught. There are many ways to do it. Reading, writing, sharing, practicing all help the change. Counseling, psychoanalysis, religion, meditation, gratitude, have the ability to transform but I needed to see it in action, it needed to be more tangible, visual, accessible. I needed to understand the possibilities. There is a YouTube channel that I watch over and over again in order to absorb how to live more fully, more open and from the heart. One of the first episodes that I stumbled on is this…. The channel is Reflections of Life and through it we get to meet people who are doing life a little differently, often more soul based. People who are living life, healing wounds and finding what is truly important.  I...
