    This morning, I took our dogs to be groomed. If you’ve read my previous blogs, you know we have two Standard Poodles. Oakley is a 4 year-old male and Teeter is a 1 year-old female. We have them groomed about every 6-8 weeks. Standard Poodles are different than a lot of dogs in that they…

  • Habits

    I often use the term “we’re creatures of habit”. I’ve found it so true in life. When given an option, we will consistently revert to our most comfortable choice. We make these comfortable choices our habits. Have you ever noticed how you will automatically migrate to the same seat in school, church or movie theater?…

  • Don’t Stop Thinking About Tomorrow

    Recently I had someone ask me what my biggest concern is with having Myasthenia Gravis. I would have to say the thing I struggle with the most is the fear of the unknown, of what’s to come. The unknown is always scary. When things are challenging in our lives, we develop a plan and find…

  • Life’s Inconveniences

    During the recent hurricane, we lost power. What an inconvenience! We had a backup generator, so I was able to restore power to important things in the house like the refrigerator, a portable air conditioning unit and charging of our cell phones, but it was still quite an inconvenience. When did blessings become inconveniences? I…

    I’m finally getting around to providing the third and final blog in the series “A Bit of Yourself”. The hurricane caused a lot of disruptions. Thanks for being so patient. If you recall, my series on “A Bit of Yourself” is focused on how you want to be remembered. In other words, your legacy. I…

  • The Jury Is Out

    in

    A few weeks ago, I received a subpoena to report for Jury Duty on September 17th. I returned my questionnaire as directed and will call the Jury Duty hotline the night before to see if I’m still going to be needed. Jury Duty can be quite an inconvenience for someone with a job or a…

  • Brain Fog

    I’, going to try an experiment. Not sure if it will work or not. I’m going to attempt to demonstrate brain fog. Brain fog often affects people with Myasthenia Gtavis. I’m nt sure why it happens or what causes it. All I know is I get it when I’m extrmeely tired or wornout. Althought it…

  • Back to Normal

    Hurricane Francine paid us a visit. A quite memorable visit, I might add. I’ll provide more details later, but I wanted to let you know we are safe and things are getting back to normal. The one good thing about hurricanes (if there is one) is you usually get several days’ notice so you can…

  • Special Weather Statement

    in

    I’m going to temporarily interrupt my “A Bit of Yourself” series due to the weather approaching our area. Tropical Storm Francine seems to be building into hurricane strength and will approach our area by Wednesday morning. At this time, it’s expected to be a Category 2 hurricane when it makes landfall in Louisiana. With a…

  • A Bit of Yourself – Part 2

    in

    In my last blog, I mentioned the Santa tradition my wife and I have with our daughters. Today I’m going to tell you a little more about that tradition. It all started 18 years ago when my daughters were in college. My wife and I had become empty-nesters and weren’t enjoying it. We began thinking…
