A Fool; Not Foolish
Red Stickers Have you ever noticed those small round stickers on mailboxes in your neighborhood? They are about the size of coins and can be made of reflective plastic or paper. These stickers are often used by road crews, utility companies, or surveyors to mark areas they have worked on. However, some residents may become suspicious of the markings and assume they are related to criminal activity in the area. In reality, it is unlikely that criminals would use stickers to mark a home when they could easily record its address and communicate through technology. Therefore, there is no need to worry about these stickers.

"Echoes of Strength: Discovering Resilience in the Silence Within"
In the quiet corners of my life, where the echoes of my thoughts resounded, I discovered a strength I never knew I possessed—resilience in silence. It all began on a rainy Sunday afternoon. The pitter-patter of raindrops against my window seemed to synchronize with the tumultuous rhythm of my thoughts. I found myself standing at the crossroads of uncertainty, grappling with a storm of emotions that threatened to engulf me. It was in that moment of vulnerability that I decided to seek solace in silence. I retreated to a secluded spot, a haven within the walls of my own mind. There, in the cocoon of quietude, I confronted the whispers of self-doubt and the relentless echoes of past failures. The silence embraced me like an old friend, offering a refuge from the cacophony of the world outside. As I delved deeper into the recesses of my thoughts, I uncovered the resilience that had been dormant within me. It was a quiet strength, subtle yet profound, like the gentle force that shapes the contours of mountains over centuries. I realized that resilience wasn't about the absence of challenges but about the ability to endure, adapt, and grow amidst them. In the silence, I discovered the power of reflection. I sifted through the fragments of my experiences, examining each shard with an introspective gaze. The stillness became a canvas, and my thoughts painted a picture of resilience—a mosaic of triumphs over adversities, however small they may have seemed at the time. Silence, I realized, wasn't an absence of sound but a space where I could hear the whispers of my own strength. The more I listened, the clearer those whispers became. I found courage in the quiet acknowledgment of my achievements, no matter how modest, and in the recognition of the lessons learned from my stumbles. As the rain outside intensified, so did the tempest within me. Yet, in the heart of that storm, I unearthed a newfound sense of purpose. The quietude became a sanctuary where I could forge a path forward, one step at a time. I embraced the resilience that had silently awaited my acknowledgment, and it became the compass guiding me through the tempest. In the days that followed, the world outside continued its relentless march, but I navigated its tumult with a newfound calm. The chaos of life became the backdrop against which my resilience unfolded. Each challenge, every setback, became an opportunity to delve into the reservoir of strength I had discovered in the silent recesses of my being. Silence, once feared for the void it seemed to hold, became a source of empowerment. It was a medium through which I connected with my inner self, a reservoir of resilience that sustained me through the ebb and flow of life's uncertainties. I learned that silence wasn't an escape but a confrontation—a confrontation with my fears, doubts, and insecurities. As the seasons changed and the rain gave way to the warmth of spring, I emerged from the cocoon of silence transformed. I carried with me the quiet strength that had weathered the storms of my internal landscape. My resilience, once concealed in the shadows, now stood tall in the sunlight of self-discovery. In the silent corridors of my mind, I found not only the echoes of my vulnerabilities but also the resounding triumph of my resilience. It was a journey of introspection, a narrative written in the language of quiet strength. And as I embraced the symphony of life, I carried with me the melody of resilience that had played softly in the background, waiting for me to listen and understand.

Closet Kleidariaphobia
by Mary Haynes I hate locks; they're annoying. I wish everyone would just behave and keep out of other people's stuff, so nothing had to be secured. I'm convinced locks have taken years off my life. I’m tired of fumbling in my purse hunting for keys and searching all over the house for them. I don’t want to jump out of bed late at night to check to see if I locked the doors. It all disrupts the flow; it disturbs my chi. I've locked myself out of cars, out of hotel rooms several times, once while swimming in the hotel’s outdoor pool in winter. I've even locked myself inside a room of an old house when the skeleton key broke off in the door, although I blame Charlie the resident ghost for that one.

The Five Types of Meat You Get in Heaven. Top Story - November 2023.
Note: my head has been in a weird place over the last few days. I have just lost my godmother after a very long illness, and even though it was not a surprise, I am still getting used to a world without her love, attitude...and wicked sense of humour. I had this in a notebook for quite a while, and I needed a laugh at the exact moment when I rediscovered it this morning. The title of Mitch Albom's book was perfect for a parody...
