A senior moment experienced by this drip

Scant number of minutes elapsed... before I forgot whether yours truly took another dose of glycopyrrolate ingested as a palliative prescription medication addressing the issue of palmar hyperhidrosis -- excessive perspiration of palms of hands, an unpleasant physiological symptoms afflicting me more than three fourths of my threescore and six years or more specifically sixty six...

The present, my woe
I try no, I’m sure I do. Or maybe… With the whole weight of my being, I try to enjoy the present. I stretch each minute wide enough to step inside, to sit a while not merely pass through. This existence with intention, this awareness I otherwise tuck away, as if noticing the fine grains of now could slow...

My Children God Talks Through His Word
When problems come, I have nothing to fear. Because I know my God is always near. I seek comfort from Him through my prayer. Because the Bible tells me that He cares. I refuse to surrender to the voices in my mind. That say God will not help you this time. Instead, I choose to think and say "I BELIEVE!" In my...

My Children I Searched for Good Luck In Life When It Was God I Needed
I used to wish upon a Star, not knowing what to do. Now I pray to the One who made them and my God it's You! I no longer carry lucky charms, they don't do me any good. I now put faith in God alone and that is where I should. As kids we said stepping on cracks would...

ENOUGH
ENOUGH! I felt deaf from the ‘noise’ of information, constantly butting, buzzing against my mantra of: “The quieter you are… the more you… hear!” At present, my lifestyle felt media manipulated: tv, radio, newspaper, mobile, computer.. ad infinitum! Besieged by endless emails, monopolizing mobiles, beset by frenzied yaps from apps! Enough is enough is….. ENOUGH, I have to escape from the unrelenting hullabaloo. Can...

Oh, my gosh, I’m freaking and feel such dread. What the hay is this nonsense on my head? I can’t go to work, can't enter the office!

For his parents to boast with pride aloud, Saying, "He’s worth every struggle allowed." He longed to raise a daughter someday, To make her proud in...

The Peace of Isaac
"Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there. But the herders of Gerar quarreled with those of Isaac and said, “The water is ours!” Genesis 26:19-20 Do you hear argument’s doorbell? Jealousy causes a groundswell like a sink hole.

Dear Seventeen
The black pen with black ink is running out, The paper on the desk is clean but creased. It must hurt to have been crumpled up and straightened out time after time again, Only to be used by someone else. One year, and I am an entirely new person. My tears have left...
