My village hosts a St. Patrick's Day parade the first Sunday in March, so that would be today.

Can someone tell me what the purpose of a parade is? It seems a bit pointless to me.

Today my mom turns 88. She has advanced Lewy Body Dementia. Her birthday & Mother's Day are painful ones because it reminds me of what I'm losing. I grieve and yet I'm thankful for the love she has given me over the years. Her love will always remain with me.

Good morning, good people. Happy Wednesday. Today I feel alone. I know it's not the truth, but it is what I feel. Sometimes our feelings lie to us and they are transitory. Thank goodness. Tomorrow will be a better day.

Be careful the words you speak to another. You don't have to utter every thought you think. What you say can hurt someone deeply and cause irreparable harm.

Good morning, good people. Happy Monday. I've got a busy day ahead. Remember, the greatest treasure is inner peace. I wish for all of you inner peace & joy.

Sometimes in a relationship somebody says something to you that's so horrible that a part of you dies & you never look at that person the same way again. I've had this happen a few of times in my life. There is no going back. A rift occurs. Today, it happened to me once more.

Good morning, good people. Happy Sunday. Today it is a relatively balmy 32 degrees Fahrenheit/0 degrees Celsius. This morning I have Tai Chi, which brings me such peace. Where do you get your peace? Have a wonderful day.

I'm writing a birthday card to my mom, whose birthday is next week. She won't be able to understand it or read it, as her dementia is advanced. My heart broke when she read her Christmas card & thought it was a card wishing her a happy summer (I live in the Northern Hemisphere).

I have decided that in my next life I will be tall, and I will live in a warm climate, in a land of perpetual summer, like the Caribbean.

Good morning, good people. Happy Saturday. I'm really over this cold weather (20 degrees Fahrenheit/-7 degrees Celsius). I need warmth & sunshine. I have to gird my loins & run a few errands b4 going to the bookstore. I wish you all a wonderful day. Stay warm!

Instead of a postcard, I got a puzzle via @Postcrossing. It’s always an adventure with Postcrossing. You never know what you’re going to get. I had to assemble it, then flip over to get the message. Interesting.
