Ain’t Afraid of the Wind no More!

Posted on December 2, 2018 by Laureen2014

Months ago, I couldn’t even get out of the car when it was a windy day on the beach. I would just look at the wind and feel anxious.  I would gauge the power of the wind by barely opening the car door.  When I felt the wind on my face, I would say, “Nope, too windy for me.” Not today.  I saw the wind blowing like crazy and said, “Let’s go.”  Sean and I set out to brave the wind and I didn’t blow away.  Amazing!  The wind was whipping up a good 16 mph and it was almost an exhilarating

Warm your Heart ❤️

Posted on December 1, 2018 by Laureen2014

This is what happens when your hubby sleeps in until 10:30 am ish.  Not straight through, but still.  I can’t remember the last time Sean was in bed until brunch time.  It must be his nesting instinct now that December is upon us.  December 1, what? When we moved into our new house, we had to make hard choices on what to keep and what to give away.  One of our clever choices was to use our wedding china and silver for our everyday use.  It’s about time since these wares are about 30 years old.  It really does make

I Want Please

Posted on November 29, 2018 by Laureen2014

Today was a mix of all sorts of feelings.  First, I went to see my new doctor for my chronic neck pain.  Dr. Murray is a Chiropractic Neurologist specializing in chronic pain, vestibular disorders and other stuff.  It’s great for me because I can get all of my ailments taken care of in one visit.  Dr. Murray worked on my neck, jaw, did exercises and challenged me with brain exercises for my central vestibular issue.  He’s very knowledgeable and has a lot of techniques for healing. Next, I went to get my Trini treats at Pam’s Roti shop.  A dozen

Best Thanksgiving Ever

Posted on November 26, 2018 by Laureen2014

Our visit with my family in the mountains was the best I felt in a pretty long time.  I can’t quite put my finger on it.  It might have been the mountain cool air or the change in scenery.  I love Fall colors, and luckily for me, I experienced the way it makes me feel when I see red leaves.   I really thought the leaves would have all fallen by now.  They’re so nice to wait for me. Holidays are a little tough for me.  Mom used to make such a delicious spread.  She had a list of menu

First Fire on Black Friday

Posted on November 24, 2018 by Laureen2014

I love sitting in front of a fire in my sister’s cozy house in the mountains.  This fire was my first for the year.  It was a special fire too.  My niece, Willow, sometimes called Willis, lit this wonderful fire for me.  She struck the long old timey wood match and carefully lit the edge of the starter log.  Moments later, there was this roaring, hot fire.  It gives me such a feeling of warmth and comfort.  I love fires. This Black Friday was a first for me too.  I spent the day with my two darling nieces, Leah and

First Cold Snap

Posted on November 18, 2018 by Laureen2014

  We had our first cold snap this weekend.  A chilly 50 degrees in the morning.  I got to put on my fuzzy slippers, fuzzy, cozy pants and cuddle in a comfy blankie.  My kind of weekend! We did a little gardening, well, Sean did a little gardening.  I directed, oohed and aaahed, and said, “How pretty!”  I sat and admired our huge, 80 something oak tree with Spanish moss.  It really is something. On Sunday, we went to the beach and were treated by jumping dolphins in the distance.  So cool!  Also, walked up to a grand sand castle.

Where’s the Egret?

Posted on November 14, 2018 by Laureen2014

  This Great Egret is feeling shy this morning.  I saw him looking at me, so I stopped to say hello.  As I approached, he quickly hid behind the branches as if I couldn’t see him.  Next time, I will hide first and see what happens. What a fun way to start my morning! Play hide and seek with your friends.  I have very fond memories of playing hide & seek with my kids.  They thought they had the best hiding spots.  It tickled me and made me kind of sad when they couldn’t find me.  Sometimes they got so

My Story Helps Others and Vice Versa

Posted on November 11, 2018 by Laureen2014

My friend, Liz, told me that she thinks I got sick to help others.  What does that mean?  I realized just the other day that she’s onto something and this may be true.  In the past few months, I have talked with random people that I meet in person or over the phone, and discover that they have had or have vertigo and balance issues.  It’s not like I say, “Hi, I’m Laureen and I’m recovering from vertigo.”  That’s not a bad intro though.  The topic somehow slips into the conversation.  I have had over 5 encounters with folks.
