Once again I’m forced into recognizing my foibles, and likely foible is to tame a word. It refers to the emotional baggage I carry and feel unable to divest myself of. The baggage, the stress, of group gatherings. The Why I’m commenting on my disinclination to want or need personal get-togethers, family gatherings in particular. …
Now there’s a figure of speech that works for me, “All over the Map”. It’s what best describes my writing style of late, so much so I’m thinking of changing my tagline to “World Traveller”. My mind wanders. It frequently wonders too but mostly it just wanders, jumping from thought to thought without settling on …
Posted on October 7, 2016 by Dwayne While I’m still ‘gone’ from our town, at least from the emotional standpoint, I have not yet physically left. Our home here has sold and just before Easter we went to babysit our grandkids in Kelowna. While there we looked for a new home and within a day …
Something weird happened to my post yesterday. Somehow another blogpost, a reblog from another blogger got attached to this post and it all got mucked up. Things got all upside down. Here’s the original post…. Today, the other day really, is/was the day to re-connect with Gloria after an absence of, what, a year? Gloria, …

I bumped into Gloria today. Well, I didn’t really ‘bump’ into her, but you know what I mean. I saw her, in Safeway. At first sighting I didn’t recognize her. I was approaching the Starbucks counter to order my grande Americano, and chatting with my daughters friend, when I glanced toward the door and saw …
In my last post “Well Lit, Dark Place” I talked about being in a dark place, about being emotionally alone or socially disconnected. Perhaps my comments and the title were a bit misleading as the intent of the comment was much more figurative than actual. I’m not really in such as dark place as was interpreted, …
Today is a “Dad” day, where I will pick him up and we will do something. In this case it’s his Eye Specialist appointment, and we’ve only been waiting for a couple months. I shouldn’t make it sound like a negative thing, I guess here in BC waiting for specialists of any kind is commonplace …
The snow is falling, or what could be loosely described as snow. Maybe dust, white powder dust would be more appropriate, almost like large flakes of flour. The kind of dust that you barely glimpse, but can see when the sunshine catches them as it’s rays filters through the window. This same white powder fell …
This afternoon I will have another visit with Gloria, my counsellor. I don’t really know what we’ll talk about, it always seems to be a dynamic event. Sometimes I feel good going in and other days, well, not as good. I wish I knew how I was supposed to feel emotionally, I mean I know I’m …
