My Soulmate Love for Eternity

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Blog | 16 comments

After marrying my soulmate Frank on May 8, 1968, he passed from this world on January 30, 1997, due to a sudden illness. We were married for nearly twenty-nine years at the time of his death. Frank and I were both eighteen years old when we married, and only thirty hours separated the difference in our ages, so we grew up together. As our hearts and souls became so entwined together, they became one strong thread. On our first date, Frank walked me to the front door of my parent’s home, told me that he loved me and that he was going to marry me. I looked at Frank knowing what he...

Responsibility is it Declining?

While writing a new chapter on my website called, “Next Stop is Okinawa”, many questions came to my mind as I was typing about a job which I had worked at prior to leaving Texas for Okinawa. While describing my job requirements and responsibilities while working as a grocery cashier/checker at HEB in 1969, I realized that many young people in 2018 would find those job requirements and responsibilities quite challenging and maybe a little bit enslaving. Having these thoughts running through my mind, led me to wonder about the changes that modern technology has made in the world,...

Last week I suddenly developed a sore throat. I decided that it could be healed with a little warm salt water gargling then throat lozenges and eventually just go away. I did fairly well for a day or two then the fever hit with chills and body aches. Of course, this all happened late evening on Friday when the Doctor’s office was closed. Tylenol became my best friend that evening and night with a lot of gargling the trusted warm salt water. The next morning, my sister-in-law, Cindy, called on another matter then asked how I was doing. I told her what was going on with my throat and...

Cutting Your Hair, Widow’s Blog

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in The Widow's Blog | 6 comments

While heading to the treadmill this morning, I decided to stop a minute, go into the bathroom, and just trim my bangs a little because I was tired of them tickling my eyebrows. Being fully dressed in my sports bra, shirt, shorts, socks, and tennis shoes was not a problem because it was just gonna be a quick trim of my bangs. There was absolutely no reason to worry about getting hair on me. Of course, I also wore my “sweet” Artificial Intelligent Fitbit on my arm, so it could record my every move then give me those subliminal, encouraging messages it runs across its “sweet...

Read First Then Look at the Picture

Sometimes something happens that totally takes me backward a few steps just for a moment in the mystery of wonderment. This type of “thang” would instantly turn some peoples faces red, a fire would come from their eyes and they would get really upset. Not me. When I am totally surprised by nonreality of something I look for the humor in it first. After all some kinda way it has to be funny. Here’s the deal, this morning I got up early to post a chapter of my book on my Nancy Lou Henderson Facebook page titled Apartment, Snoopy, Corncob Pipe. The picture I chose for...
