At Tyler State Park, in Newtown, Pennsylvania last Labor day, 2016 I hiked. Some days I have to be alone and that is okay. Stability is helped by immersion into nature when necessary, with joy, and not regret, with consistent resilience. A loud bird says not to fret as she tweets and greets in the… Continue reading Layers of texture in reflection
Gratitude for every time that I rally
Thank you for stopping by for cheerfulness based on true stories and lessons learned. A key ingredient in the recipe for keeping it real with stability is to be kind to ourselves!

The fancy buoyancy of a freelancer
This resourceful resilience shines a comforting color of creative joy. Like a satellite on a launch pad, I write and post here to you. I let go of all shattered dreams, especially the former career as the ambitious, intrepid paralegal.

Keeping it real with stability
Morning person adjusts to time change, slowly sips cinnamon-vanilla coffee and munches crunchy toast with gratitude at daybreak. Sunlight exudes cheerfulness through the woods of original, tall trees. The darkness transitions and the sun’s rays filter through the semi-sheer, earthy brown colored curtains of the carriage house’s front windows into the room. She reflects… Continue reading Keeping it real with stability

She started her car and enjoyed the lush open spaces of scenery for the fifteen minute ride. The brisk air wafted so dry with a beaming sun in the blue afternoon sky.

Peace of mind endures with cheer. She knew consistent resilience allows us to befriend cheerfulness. This was not a time for… Continue reading cheery splendor to remain stable
Proactiveness is preventative
Cheerfulness is contagious in a good way! How to stay cheery manifests in me as proactiveness. The proactive trend in me keeps those life lessons learned instead of missed. Natural instincts of proactiveness are deep within, since before I even knew how to look proactive up in a dictionary! During childhood did you ever hear… Continue reading Proactiveness is preventative
Consistent resilience
Life was so carefree as a child! No major challenges and no bills of my own yet to pay. Since adolescence a shattered dream appeared all too consistently. During my thirties I learned to push through to overcome adversity rather well. Then the dreadful recession of 2008-09 unfolded like a nightmare that would not end. Such… Continue reading Consistent resilience
To push through, compartmentalize
Yesterday I had the good fortune to reunite with my adult child with special needs where he resides in a unique hospital in the countryside. How rare and complex my child’s needs presented from day one did not seem like good fortune in the beginning. We need to look at how far we have come… Continue reading To push through, compartmentalize
Cheery ones know gratitude is a strength
To be cheerful today press on with all your heart to notice when your thoughts turn into an I-feel-sorry-for-myself complaint. If the subject of your complaint is out of your control then avoid this as if it is poisonous. Idle complaints are poisonous to your growth as a cheerful traveler. This theme pays off really… Continue reading Cheery ones know gratitude is a strength
