Welcome to Collins Conundrum

This Saturday is the first in a new year and almost the end of my vacation. I wish I could rant and rave about all I accomplished while I was off, but not this time. My household was completely lazy. One child was sick after Christmas, one worked some and well I sat and thought […]

I am trying to be different this year. I am trying to be me. I am trying to express myself more and effectively. I am just me. How about you, how are you today and what are you trying to do or be? I saw a journal starting question and it said ‘How would you […]

So here we are day 2, how are the resolutions going? How do you feel in this new decade? I am feeling sassy and a bit lazy. I have been off from work this week and have come to realize alot. I have realized that I still wake up at the same time everyday without […]

Happy New Year! Day one. Yesterday was day 365 and a short 24 hours a new start, a new day. There is something magical about new years, it is the hope to start fresh, a new beginning and hope. If you were imbibing last night you are hoping for Ibuprofen and a bloody mary! We […]

So here we are at the end of another year. Day 365…standing on this last day with so many emotions as we try to peek at the new year. We are leaving another year and diving head first into a new year, a new decade. Time seems to march on too quickly. So many thoughts […]

So another Thanksgiving day has arrived, and too quickly I might add. The leaves are tumbling down and the years are flying by. The memories flow as bright as the red and gold leaves shimmering in the sun. Memories of grandmom and granny, aunts and uncles, cousins and friends, my kids so little, my parents […]

So I am going to admit that I have been a binge watcher for the past couple of weeks. I am late to the trend, but I have been watching Downtown Abbey. I have stepped into the English countryside and the world of aristocrats and servants. My lord and my ladies, ladies maids and butlers. […]

So time continues to move forward and I continue to think various thoughts and my mind goes down different paths. I have been thinking about sorrows. I know I have seemed to continue to be sad and I don’t mean to be. I still re live my dad’s passing and seeing grief and life through […]

There is so many things to be thankful for. We spend alot of time wishing for more, wanting more and then over look the blessings. I think I am feeling over emotional today. I have found myself sick again. I had horrible bout of pneumonia in February. These past week I started having tons of […]
