We all know them or at least one of them. Those people who only come around when they need or want something. They are greedy, self absorbed and often lazy people who survive off of using others. They are parasites. I just don’t have the energy for such people anymore.

PS: Yes, I recycled the layout from my last graphic because I liked it.

Winter Blues

Sometimes it doesn't take anything more than cold wet winter weather to ruin a perfectly good day. What do I do when the winter blues threaten to drag me down? Well I shovel out around the pony, brush the snow off, fire her up & go for a ride. Nothing cures the winter blues quite like outrunning them ;)

Christmas with a broken heart

Sometimes knowing you are supposed to be happy makes it even harder to actually BE happy. That's when we paste on the smile for the sake of those around us.

This is my Dad, Ed. This is how I try to remember him. Back before diabetes and age took their toll. It's a terrible feeling when you know the end is near. We didn't know the exact date or time but we knew it was coming. It was growing more near with each passing day. When his day came, even though I thought I had prepared myself, it rocked me to my very soul. It has been over four years now and there are times the pain still takes my breath away. Nights I am still robbed of sleep missing him. Days when I would gladly go back in time and do it all over again no matter how hard it was. Left behind with a ton of regrets for the fights and all of the visits I didn't take the time to make.

I take solace knowing that in the end he knew how much I loved and adored him. He knew he was loved, wanted, needed and would be missed.

I love you Dad!
Merry Christmas in Heaven
