Love Triangle

05/25/2020 by Sherring D.

I just wanted some comfort food. I had just emerged from a more-than-usual emotionally draining therapy session. I was spent, exhausted and hungry as if I had just completed a Shaun T T25 workout.  I longed for a hot shower, comfy sweats and socks and my favorite fuzzy blanket to wrap around myself as I got lost in TV, or even better, a nap. The latter was not likely to happen. It’s rare that I nap on purpose. As much […]

Things that Remind Me of My Mother

02/19/2018 by Sherring D.

1.       Julio Iglesias He was her favorite artist.  She owned several of his records on vinyl and would sing along as she cooked and cleaned. I did too. 2.       Grapefruit Her favorite fruit, which she always ate by cutting in half, sifting sugar over then scooping out the flesh with a spoon. 3.       Yellow Not only did she drive a yellow Toyota, but my favorite picture is of her in a yellow dress with white polka dots. It was taken […]

Love in the Lemonade

04/14/2016 by Sherring D.

  This post is part of the Blogging From A to Z Challenge. I loved my mother’s fresh squeezed lemonade. She added canned evaporated milk, the one with the red and white label and flowers, and so much sugar and ice cubes that I could hear the sugar scraping at the bottom of the plastic pitcher and the ice clink as she stirred, or let me stir, with a giant wooden spoon. She never measured, but would check the taste by dropping […]

Wistfulness, Longing Nostalgia and Melancholy

12/17/2015 by Sherring D.

No matter my chosen form of escapism, before the journey of relaxation, wonderment or suspended disbelief runs its course, I get hurled back into the reality I’m trying to forget for just a moment. I never want to forget the mother I lost to ovarian cancer when I was eight years old, but sometimes I want to disregard that feeling of permanent loss. Memories of her are fading, but like sugar crystals that have dissolved in hot tea, her essence […]

Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child

02/19/2014 by Sherring D.

I woke up this morning, fixed my bed, and walked over to my closet to select the day’s outfit. I chose a two-tone gray knit top, and charcoal pinstriped pants. Then I remembered tips from the countless fashion articles I’ve read and makeover shows I’ve watched and decided to add a pop of color to counter the drabness. It’s bad enough it’s a cold February day. The icy sidewalks are lined with mounds of dirty brown, black and in some […]
