independence day
Un-independence day is more accurate. Today I come face to face with giving up more freedom. it is becoming clear, soon driving will no longer be safe, and I will not endanger others let alone myself. (Flashback to caring for my mom and being responsible for her to stop driving… it wasn’t fun.) Coming…

once more…..
….unto the breach It’s Monday morning, I lollygag in bed. For some strange reason, I jump up to check on my sunglasses, discovering they are missing. Memory floods – left behind yesterday at the community mailboxes. Dressing quickly, prayer they remain; low and behold, there they are. Self-berating stops, a smile comes, and I thank…
