Welcome to Collins Conundrum

I haven’t written anything in quite awhile. Life has been wonderful and fulfilling and that has kept me enthralled. I hope you have been well and enjoying the spring weather. I sit here getting ready to start the trek to work and you nurses are on my mind. It is nurse appreciation week. It is […]

Hey all. I haven’t written as much here, more personal musings and things I am keeping close for my mental process. Hope everyone is ready for some fall weather and some relief. Our world is crazy and life isn’t slowing down it seems. I think so much stress and so much turmoil seems to beckon […]

Hey everyone. Hope you guys are doing well. My most favorite time of year is approaching so that is always an amazing time. You guys don’t know how many times I have started an entry just to not finish it. Do you ever get so many thoughts on your mind that sometimes they all criss […]

I haven’t written in awhile. Lots of thoughts but not many moments to submerge in my thoughts. Hope everyone has been well and that the sunshine has warmed your skin and the moments of summer have been filled with moments of joy. We are on the road. We haven’t taken a vacation where we actually […]

So hope everyone is well and moving into this summer kind of weather! Time keeps marching on and my conundrum of thoughts continue. Probably much to the dismay of others. But I am me. I was talking to a very dear friend and he said I was just too passionate (and he is too) with […]

Where to begin and what to say. I remember the day we, a family of four, moved into a blue house at the end of a street. There was so much to get done and renovate on that house. Dad worked long hours and mom did too. I had finished nursing school and was working […]

So I have felt the need to write a bit more, think as always and peel layers back on so many thoughts. I should have been cleaning house but took a few minutes to write a few poems. Just thoughts bouncing around in the conundrum of my mind. Thanks for reading and wishing each of […]
