The Lighter Side of Darkness: May 2015
http://funnycyde.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
The Lighter Side of Darkness. Friday, May 22, 2015. Photo: www.wallpapersonweb.com. What have I learned from this? Isn't that the point? Well, I've learned that I have options. Had I not been backed into a corner, I wouldn't have had the conversations that led me to that awareness. There's real value in that. Those conversations led to connections. More value. Sometimes the best new ideas are born from the lowest moments. Well, DUH! The best lemonade I ever made (so far! What do we learn? Fugly Horse of ...

The Lighter Side of Darkness: June 2014
http://funnycyde.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
The Lighter Side of Darkness. Monday, June 16, 2014. Photo: commons.wikimedia.org. Yesterday, all social media was a veritable smorgasbord of Father's day gratitude and wishes. While I'm grateful as hell for my step-dad, and my grandfather was the best dad ever, it's not my. That we were left holding the bag? Please, explain to me how? How is it our fault that we can't read the deception when someone lies with sincerity to our faces? Should we just assume all men are cheaters and liars, then? How To Achi...

The Lighter Side of Darkness: Poverty and Homelessness
http://funnycyde.blogspot.com/2015/01/poverty-and-homelessness.html
The Lighter Side of Darkness. Saturday, January 10, 2015. A work in progress. I won't get into all the details because they are tedious. But the reality for the average poor person looks something like trying to pay $800 worth of bills with $600 every month. Month after month. It fluctuates up and down periodicity depending on what you yourself are able to make ( Congratulations on your new job. You are now losing your food stamps and have less money to work with.). It feels like a train is coming, and y...

The Lighter Side of Darkness: People Who Do
http://funnycyde.blogspot.com/2015/03/people-who-do.html
The Lighter Side of Darkness. Saturday, March 21, 2015. I haven't written anything here for awhile. As I'm trying to get some real. Every once in a while I think "what if? About random situations. As people are systematically being taught to survive with less and less income, it seems almost inevitable that the trend will ultimately make money obsolete (shh.just go with me here, lol). If it came to that, who would survive? People who move money around and tell others what to do? I believe in the power of...

The Lighter Side of Darkness: July 2014

The Lighter Side of Darkness. Monday, July 28, 2014. Games I Don't Play. Photo: www.facebook.com/kristelsmartsbooks. My daughter wants me to date. Okay, if I'm being perfectly honest, I've even been lectured by people who barely know me about how important it is to "find that. Person". I get it, I hear it, but I guess I'm not sure how to fulfill that wish for them. I'm happy alone, genuinely. What's the difference between a friend and a boyfriend? A magical and very secure guy? I'm on a trajectory. I...

The Lighter Side of Darkness: December 2014
http://funnycyde.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
The Lighter Side of Darkness. Friday, December 26, 2014. The Time In Between. I don't like crowds. I find large, social gatherings exhausting, so though I love to wear sequins, I rarely find myself in a position to do so. It's all good. I value the quiet, the ability to complete a thought and the relative predictability of not-a-party. As I get older, I appreciate that quiet even more. My answer has to be an unwavering "THIS bad! Monday, December 15, 2014. What I want for Christmas. I wish that all domes...

The Lighter Side of Darkness: August 2014

The Lighter Side of Darkness. Wednesday, August 27, 2014. The Significance of Sunflowers. People often overlook sunflowers. They aren't popular in bouquets and when you think of beautiful things, sunflowers may not immediately spring to mind. But they actually ROCK. Whenever I could, I planted giant sunflowers somewhere on my property just to have them around. Just looking at them made me happy, so why not? And it's been a whirlwind of crazy-awesome since! Sunflowers, to me, represent resilience in the f...

The Lighter Side of Darkness. Thursday, July 16, 2015. Rhiannon riding in Arberth. From The Mabinogion. Once upon a time I felt like a cautionary tale to all the other good little Catholic boys and girls. "This is what happens when you don't do what you're told, don't do what you are supposed. Good and squirreled away your nuts, you might. Somewhere along the way I learned to be direct. Unladylike, perhaps (and at times VERY unladylike), but more me and more effective. It was the first inkling I ...I wor...

The Lighter Side of Darkness: October 2014
http://funnycyde.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
The Lighter Side of Darkness. Tuesday, October 7, 2014. Did I mention that today was also 'sprinkler-test' day? That means the the sprinkler company is here all morning, setting off the alarms over and over again at random intervals. If that noise isn't enough to do in that last nerve that I hope I have, my screaming Doberman might just do it. When the alarms go off, the dog screams. AWESOME. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
