Mad love

February 14, 2013January 5, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments

It's not boxes of gooey candy, or bouquets of fragrant roses. It's not decadent, chocolate dipped berries, or silky red lingerie, nor drug store cards declaring your everlasting love. It's calling from a business trip to tell me 'good morning' even when you're two hours earlier. It's cleaning out the cat's litter box because you … Continue reading Mad love

While I was out Saturday running errands, I drove by our city youth ball fields. This was the first weekend for rec ball tryouts. Little kids were everywhere, little wobby-helmet-headed kids. I couldn't stop giggling about how they looked like the Rick Moranis character from the Mel Brooks movie, "Spaceball." The scene also reminded me … Continue reading Run home

Pushing boundaries, Bending rules, Flirting with danger, Tempting immortality, Hum of the rail, A siren song seductive and alluring, pulsing along a precarious track.

I resolve to not be just one of the flock, but to follow my heart and reach for the sky. And... … Continue reading Resolve

Winter’s ‘a comin’

I live in Florida, a state where we don't have clear delineation of seasons. We have Hot, HOTTER, mild, and rain. There is very little change in fall foliage - palm trees don't drop their fronds or turn luscious shades of gold and red - and it doesn't get cold (Deep South cold) until mid- … Continue reading Winter’s ‘a comin’
