Choose Happy

Beth Ann Chiles/ Life stories, Thoughts, Writing/ 12 Comments/ 621

The above sign is in the little “apartment” that we have over our garage. I retreated there the other day while Chris was on business calls and I wanted to read. As I sat on the couch I looked at that little sign that I Continue reading →

Beth Ann Chiles/ Thoughts/ 17 Comments/ 542

You guys know what I am talking about, right? When you hear a song and it takes you right back to a place and time? This past week one of my college friends posted this picture on Facebook. I was immediately transported back to my Continue reading →

Home Is Where Mom Is

Beth Ann Chiles/ Dementia, Family, Holiday, Thoughts, Writing/ 22 Comments/ 671

For those of us who still have our mothers with us on earth Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate her. Growing up there were always bouquets of dandelions and other “weeds”, awkwardly drawn pictures and misspelled words on homemade cards to celebrate the day. Continue reading →

You Can Quote Me

Beth Ann Chiles/ Inspiration, Thoughts, Writing/ 42 Comments/ 540

Old Girls in Low Cotton
