Seeing the Humor in Struggles

2018 wasn’t the year I thought it would be.  I thought my husband would have a permanent job by now. I thought I had handled my insomnia, my Fibro, was done with surgeries, and wouldn’t have anything new until I was old.  Well, oldER. But I was wrong. Have you ever had so many weirdly […]

At the age when doctors ask odd questions

I can’t believe it’s October 2018 already! Wasn’t it just June…1997? You know you’re getting older when the decades fly by.  But seriously, life has changed a whole bunch since I began this blog and since I began writing JoJoisms so many years ago. Now that I’m in my mid..ok, later, 50s, I find my attention […]

Writing JoJo-isms

My life has come full circle.  I began writing my JoJoisms about communication way back when.  Then, as my life changed, these sayings came to be about every topic under the sun…or at least under my life experience.  (Which is rather prolific!) I wrote JoJoisms about marriage, parenting, finances, health issues, empty nesting, getting older, […]

It’s official! The Big Book of JoJoisms has a registered copyright!

I’ve been writing since I was about 9 years old.  I’m now a post menopausal writer who has to color her gray more often so that’s a LOT OF YEARS! I had never thought about getting a copyright until I began putting my JoJoisms on the mugs we are now selling under the MugXpressions by Grape […]

JoJoisms in 2018

The last several years brought some interesting opportunities and challenges into my life and, as I usually do, I dealt with them as any Sit Down Comedian would. I made fun with it, joked about it, and wrote about it…all here on JoJoisms.com. You got to read the good, the bad, and the utterly ridiculous.  […]

Silver Linings

I’m starting a new writing category here on JoJoisms because I find that “Laughing through the Struggles” and “Inspiration” are not enough to find your joy.  We also need to find our “Silver Linings” or the little blessings hidden inside our struggles.  And there are some! I’m going to share a few of mine and I’d like […]

Hello, my name is…NOT TMobile!

A little end of the week humor to lift your spirits or as I call them: Friday Funnies! We are seriously considering discontinuing our home phone service. Our number, given to us by Comcast, was a TMobile store number. They refuse to take it down from their website so I get tons of calls for them. […]

Having Fun With Insomnia

Having insomnia isn’t fun, but if you have to have insomnia, we can at least find the humor in it.  Can I get an Amen?  Here is a little video I called Fun with Insomnia.  I have since added some insomnia JoJoisms to the list.  They follow below. JoJoism#471: “It’s 2am and I’m wondering how […]
