And so it begins! I just love this time of year, the cooler air settles in, there is a crispness about it that breathes new life into me. I find it more and more difficult to drive as my eyes are drawn to the symphony of colors that lay before me. Even though I know it is coming, I am always, al

I think many of you, like me, consider ActiveRain to be like a second home, home away from home, cyber home, something along those lines. If you have been here for a while, you really get to know your "family and neighbors". You know what they like, what they don't like, you look forward to readi

Thank you to Paul Henderson for this inspiration contest! At first I thought this might be TMI, I might have even worried that it was TMI. Then I laughed at myself and decided to go for it.My mom was a worrier, it was bad. She worried about everything under the sun. I can remember thinking that i

I haven't talked about points in a long, long time. Perhaps because I took some time off from blogging and fell behind. I remember thinking I would never, ever get to a million points, but this post should put me right over the edge, obtaining a long forgotten goal I had. Or perhaps it was more o
