Always Looking UP!
April 20th, 2012 | Author: carriesuepepper
Getting excited about life in general. That’s something that had started to dwindle for me and I have no idea why. It could have been a gradual slowing down related to my hip dysplasia, the gradual wearing down of the joints and the physical limitations. That happened over the span of – oh my gosh – 15 years.

Where’d my FUN go?
April 12th, 2012 | Author: carriesuepepper
Where did my FUN go? That’s the line I had in my head when I awoke wide-eyed at 4:30 a.m. this morning? Where did my fun go? I thought, yes, where did it go? I used to have fun, to play, to run and laugh and challenge myself, fall down, make mistakes. Somewhere along the way – I think it was fairly gradual – I started being cautious, taking less risks, worrying more about what others thought. And today, when my eyes flashed open this morning like a shade being yanked up on a window – WHERE DID MY FUN GO? Hit me like a ton of bricks. People like being around fun people. They like hanging out with them, talking with them – why? Because they’re FUN!!
The Blind Men and the Elephant

This journey I’m on takes all sorts of turns, ups and downs and along the way there are big black holes one can fall into if they aren’t careful. It keeps me on my toes! Oftentimes, when people ask me, What do you do? What kind of business is this? What kind of job is this? I will think of the little storybook I remember reading as a child.
The fern and I
March 30th, 2012 | Author: carriesuepepper
When the cold of winter hit, doing its damage to tender plants that weren’t covered or protected from the biting frost, I watched my broad leafed fern turn from a glorious green beauty in its big oak barrel to a crispy, brown shell of its former self. I let guilt climb into my heart and thought of how I should have covered it or watered it more when the cold came or built a little shelter around it, but I didn’t.
Call hunting in my dreams
March 25th, 2012 | Author: carriesuepepper
There’s a feature with some “VoIP” (voice over Internet providers) phone services referred to as “call hunting.” With this service, if someone dials your phone number and you do not answer, the next number in your ring list will be dialed. This process will continue until either a phone is answered or the end of your sequence list is reached.
