From Our Children, We Learn

This weekend was spent moving our Boston daughter into a new apartment. Last night, after being bent over an Ikea bed for four hours, I decided to stay the night because we still had a desk to assemble. I drove back today went to night yoga, dragging a bruised and broken body into the studio . . . → Read More: From Our Children, We Learn

Why Worry?

After all the reading and writing I’ve done since I started this blog, I found worrying is the topic that most worries us. Just this morning I found myself reading the the ticker tape running along the bottom of the screen while watching the news. The Dow closed above 13,000 yesterday, therefore, I thought, my . . . → Read More: Why Worry?

The Hunger Games

Yesterday I started reading The Hunger Games at 4pm and, with the exception of time out for when Syracuse was playing, I finished it at 1am. Wow. It was a fast moving, easy read, but also a very hard read. (I did dream about being the head of my own post apocalyptic world after trying . . . → Read More: The Hunger Games

Ye Ole Neighborhood

It’s been a rough week. Lots of appointments and commitments, but also some revisiting of old ghosts. After you’ve worked hard, moved on after loss, restructured your life, made new goals, you end up a little exhausted. That leaves you vulnerable. When you’re vulnerable, things you fought and thought you came to terms with in . . . → Read More: Ye Ole Neighborhood

Store It In The Heart

Being a Type A personality and having a lot of them for friends, this little gratitude “burst” hit home for me today. Paul Taubman is my “gratitude guru” and his little bursts of wisdom cross my desk each day. This is one I can so identify with, and my family would agree. My husband and . . . → Read More: Store It In The Heart

How Time Flies

Yesterday the family got together to celebrate our dad’s 80th birthday. There are 18 of us, so a family gathering is always a party. My sister remarks how quick this year is going by. I chime in with how it’s half way through March of the new year already. My youngest brother says, “Time moves . . . → Read More: How Time Flies

Do You Know St. Anthony?

My mother-in-law did. I lived with my mother-in-law for five years. She was staunch Italian and believed in ghosts and Jesus. No one, and my daughters will second this, ever brought the spirit world closer to us than my mother-in-law.

For five years, whenever she lost something, I watched her pray to St. Anthony . . . → Read More: Do You Know St. Anthony?

That Same Beach Path

Late afternoon on Sunday my husband and I took a walk to the beach. The wind was a little brisk, especially when we were near the water and the waves were huge and crashing. At the end of our walk we turned to walk up the beach path to go home. We both stopped and . . . → Read More: That Same Beach Path

The Sleep Timer Strikes Again

Once again I forgot to set the sleep timer and was awakened by voices in the distance at 6am. This time it was Alan Jackson singing “Remember When”. When that song was popular, years ago, on the country music charts, it was also popular with my husband and me. Laying there, reluctant to put my . . . → Read More: The Sleep Timer Strikes Again
