  • A Tiny Religion

    Photo by Samuel Austin on Unsplash It’s not easy. But it’s simple. I have to laugh at the way people complicate religion. It’s just as funny as the way I get all confused when I reorganize stuff: “Well, if I put that in there, then where will this go? And if I move these things, they’ll just…

  • On Refusing to Be Ill

    Photo by Allan Bueno on Unsplash And what do to when this no longer works Okay, fine. I’m ill. It surprises me that I am even considering writing this post because I am not allowed to be ill, I have never been allowed to be ill, and part of me is sure that if I just refuse to…

  • Learn to Laugh at Your Problems

    Image by Pexels from Pixabay Everybody else does… Every once in a while, no matter how hard you try to see that tired old glass as half-full, it’s not. It’s completely empty. Nothing to do but throw it into the fireplace, excuse yourself from the company, and retire for the night. Sometimes, although life is the best…
