As a teenager, I use to sleep All.The.Time. If left to my own devices, I could sleep until noon, get up for lunch and take a nap. Then I would wake up around 6pm for dinner and maybe watch some television and go back to sleep at 10pm. Honestly, back then, I didn’t think I …
“Grandma! Can I go outside to play?” I almost spit out my coffee when I heard 8-year-old Caden’s jubilant request. Caden is my friend’s grandson who was visiting during his school’s Fall break. The weather was perfect for playing outside, but his request is something I rarely hear from kids his age. Lately it seems …
“Why does Grandpa’s hands shake so bad?” my daughter asked after dinner. We hadn’t seen my dad in a few weeks and the symptoms of his Parkinson’s disease were already evident.

We know from previous movies that the Joker is known for 3 things: his laugh, his dance and his killing. Those things were definitely in this movie, but what I wasn’t prepared for was the depiction of his of mental illness.

It is very rare that I hear people discuss positive relationships. I want to hear about him meeting his girl online and she turned out to be exactly what he prayed to God for. I want to hear about her meeting him at the grocery store, when he asked her opinion about laundry soap.
The following weekend, I took a trip to North Carolina to join my sister and nephew on a mountain hike into Gorges’ National Park and Chimney Park State Park.
