Where do you go or where would you like to be on those occasions when your desire is to be away from the hustle and bustle of civilization? Just a few hours - or even a day, for quiet relaxation, meditation and reflection, with...

Karen Hellier We live in the mountains in a community with lots of walking paths and hiking trails so on those days when I need to get away, I just take my dog and we head off to one of those trails. It's very peaceful. If I am home, I can go all day without my cell phone....

Today is Monday and I am just hanging around the house, changing the sheets, doing laundry and photographing items to list on eBay this week. Once they are photographed, I will package them in plastic bags and put them in a large...

Karen Hellier @Chellezhere I didn't sleep well either last night. Woke up from a fitful sleep at 4:30 am then had trouble falling back to sleep. It might be a good day for a nap for me as well later on.

Karen Hellier I remember those days of getting up early to get the kids off to school, and then going back to bed. I am NOT a morning person, but since my mother never got up with us when I was growing up, I always wanted to be up in the mornings for my children...even if...

As many of my friends around the world know, I live in Laguna Woods, California and those of you who read the national and international news are about to hear about a mass shooting at Geneva Presbyterian Church in Laguna Woods,...

Karen Hellier Oh gosh, I am so glad to hear you are safe. I was impressed that church members subdued and hogtied the shooter. That takes bravery and teamwork. I heard one person died and 4 or 5 are wounded? I hope they all survive.

Karen Hellier @Kandae11 Yes, this guy is much better than the previous ones, and he can actually carry a tune and stay in key! Very important for someone who leads songs in church!

Karen Hellier @JudyEv Yes, me too but from what I have heard the second time people get less sick than the first time so at least that is good news. My husband is still very tired from his first time though and that was 3 weeks ago. So I don't want him to ever get it...

Karen Hellier @LadyDuck Well, we have had it once now. I have heard the second time one gets it, it isn't as bad so that is good at least. Not that I want it a second time.

Karen Hellier @wolfgirl569 I tend not to be too worried about it now that both my husband and I have had Covid. In a way, it's a relief.

Karen Hellier @ptrikha_2 I agree with you. Seems like those are just holidays that card companies made up to sell more cards. Mother's Day is hard for me because only 1 of my 3 children really remembers to do anything special for me. Some years I just boycott Mother's Day...

Karen Hellier Wow, I didn't realize that Coral's sister was on here. I follow her and read about your lunch. It sounded like a wonderful experience. Now I am following you as well! :0) Glad you enjoyed the tuna together.

Karen Hellier @CarolDM That's wonderful. I like to sit outside with a cup of tea or coffee at any time of day and just listen to the birds. It's very soothing to me.

Karen Hellier @sharon6345 I guess you are right. I hope it will still be available to you by then? We already had Amazon Prime Video, we just never used it before now. Silly of us I guess.
