Welcome to Collins Conundrum

So here we have almost completed another month in a year like no other. Pandemic,masks, civil unrest, opinions that fly around faster than a hummingbirds wings. It has been one of the most challenging years for this generation, my generation. I think there is more negativity and division than I have never seen before. I […]

Have you all just really stopped and asked that lately? Have you asked someone how they truly are? Have you thought about how you are doing? Are you completely worn out and burdened? Are you pro mask or no mask? Are you for quarantine or open the doors wide? Are you bombarded with numbers and […]

I haven’t written in awhile. Life has been crazy for us all. Covid, civil unrest in our world, working and dealing with everyday life. How have you guys been? Surviving life or thriving? I feel like we are all surviving. I feel that we are a nation on edge and it is person against person. […]

Sometimes you wake up and hope it was all a bad dream, that our world couldn’t really be as crazy as it was before you went to bed. You wipe the sleep out of your eyes and turn on the TV and fire up social media and realize this is reality! How can all of […]

Hey everyone. Hope each of you are holding up during this ongoing pandemic. Are each of you as tired of the stress and ongoing discussions all around COVID?

Here we are at another holiday. One to celebrate the mom’s in our lives. This virus and the people in charge have taken alot away, but it can’t take away the love we have for one another and the love of a mom. Now I know not everyone has a healthy relationship with their mom […]

A calling that is unique on its own. Nurses are a different breed. We don’t gross out easily, inappropriate humor at times, but for the majority there is a caring heart and compassion. Nurses are there to care for you or your loved one. They may have, as my dad would say ‘book smarts’ but […]

Here we are in May. Time is moving at such a weird pace. Quarantine, working, working quarantine. Some are furloughed, some working, some just surviving the best way they can. So many things we took for granted before this virus rolled in. Time spent with family and friends, eating in a restaurant, going to church, […]

Here we are, middle of April. March lasted five years, April is clicking by with all of us waiting for the world to make itself right again. We are staying at home, working in and outside of the home, wearing masks, glove usage all wrong, cleaning like crazy, trying to stay well, fears of getting […]
