Does this day come fast or what? No matter, the passengers on this Train know our weekly kick-off mantra, “MERRY MONDAY!”. Much of the reason why we have Monday blues is because we feel like Friday is so far away. We think of having to work for 5 straight days until we can rest again […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will I have a friend who says, “Situations aren’t difficult, people are difficult”. And, it’s true on one level. Sometimes, it seems like it would be a whole lot easier if we didn’t have to deal with anyone but ourselves. But, it’s our relationships with others that bring […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When the funds are low and the debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh When care is pressing you down a bit Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns As every one […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

First, let’s talk about understanding and recognizing signs of those around you who might be dealing with this issue. If someone close to us […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
When I first started this blog over a year ago now, I had intended for the focus to be on the “Baby Boomer” generation since I just barely slide into that category…All heck, …ok, I’m a baby…”baby Boomer” …ok?

To My Fellow Passengers. Yes, …it’s true, we start each Monday by saying and realizing that it truly is a “Merry Monday!”. Why, because we have Life, if nothing else, if you are reading this…you live! So, Merry Monday, glad you are still with us to ride the Train! And on a personal note, as […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Passengers, please pray for the Goodman family. Tomorrow they lay their matriarch, Edna Mae Goodman, to rest in Baltimore, Maryland. She is the mother of one of my life friend of over 30 years, Kathy Goodman. What a story to tell…more later. Please keep them lifted as I am sure Wednesday will be a very […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
