Braces, Bifocals, and a Baby!

Posted on February 26, 2023February 27, 2023 by Debbie Robbins

I reflected on the proclamation from the doctors who told me that I would never, ever, no matter what, be able to have a child, and that appeared to be the case for several years after major surgery to improve my prospects for motherhood failed. During that time, I truly gave in to God, found the strength to move on, and found ways to utilize my God given gifts and talents. As my girlfriends were becoming empty nesters and doting grandmas, I suddenly found that I would soon be in the throes of mid-life first time motherhood.

Since I found out how easy and cost-effective it is to change a tub/shower into a walk-in shower, I wish I had done that for my mother. This is even more important for the elderly who are still living in their own homes and taking care of themselves. I believe no elderly person should have to climb over a bathtub edge to bathe. Doing so, is asking for trouble.

Living our best life Is not about being rich, popular, or highly educated, but all about being confident in who we are, being strong and self-reliant, and being good friends with generous hearts.

Putting out the Open Sign

It is not about having a perfect party—worthy of the society section of the paper (do they even do that anymore). It is about having a good time with your friends. If your friends expect you to have a white-glove house with gourmet food that you’ve slaved over (or hired caterers), do you really want them for friends? I know I don’t.

Maturing Along with Barbie

If you are like me, that image in the mirror looks more like a stranger on the street than who your own mental image says you are! Did you know that Barbie is now over 70….and if she is anything like the REAL US, I know there should be several new-“old” Barbie’s on the drawing…

Thankful for My Girlfriends!

Life can be messy, and fear or worry can quickly destroy even the strongest of resolves, leaving us shaking at all the unknowns. It’s been said, “that which terrifies you controls you.” And it certainly can.
