Another Day Goes By

Mountain Lion – Scary

November 26th, 2012

It all started with the cloud. I wanted to find my cloud stuff in iTunes and iPhoto. No clouds. I went into my settings and all I had was Mobile Me. I clicked on that and got an error. It was gone. I vaguely remember an email that moved me from Mobile Me to iCloud . . . → Read More: Mountain Lion – Scary

Such Is Love

November 25th, 2012

When you say “I love you” what does it mean to you, the one who uttered those words? I used to feel that those were the most overused words in the English language. Over the past two years I’ve taken note every time I used those three little words. Just what did I mean by . . . → Read More: Such Is Love

Ready, Set, Go

November 24th, 2012

This weekend everyone is decorating for Xmas, us included. We went to get our wreath for the side of the house. Put up all the outside decorations. Then I bribed my daughter to help with the inside decorating by cracking open a bottle of red.

Of course, before the Xmas decor could begin, fall . . . → Read More: Ready, Set, Go

Blue Friday

November 23rd, 2012

My daughter and I spent the better part of the morning returning to the Cape after our NY holiday with our family. The house was cold when we arrived because I had turned the heat off. We discovered it was warmer outside. After unpacking we decided to take walks until the house warmed up. We . . . → Read More: Blue Friday

Press Pause

November 22nd, 2012

Last night at dinner I was recounting a funny video I just happened to see on America’s Funniest Home Videos this week. I don’t watch that show because it features a lot of people getting hurt and I just can’t laugh at that. I put on the last five minutes of it the other night . . . → Read More: Press Pause

The Day Before The Day

November 21st, 2012

The day before the first big holiday of the 2012 holiday season found me up at 5 am, leaving the house early to pick up my daughter in Boston and drive to NY. I picked her up at 9:30 am and was out of the city and headed west on the Mass Pike by 9:40. . . . → Read More: The Day Before The Day

More Letting Go – Thankfully!

November 20th, 2012

Thanksgiving 2012 finds me much quieter inside than I have ever been in my life. I have finally finnessed the art of letting go – of both big and little things. A huge one these past few years is that I no longer participate in my adult children's lives. I'm here when they need me, . . . → Read More: More Letting Go – Thankfully!

Try

November 19th, 2012

Watching the AMA's on Sunday night, I was so impressed by Pink's performance of the song Try off of her new album, that I had to download the song immediately. I posted that on Facebook and got an immediate response from my daughter – "Dear God.." . This…coming from a Nicki Minaj fan. Need I . . . → Read More: Try

DON’T Follow Your Passion – What?

November 18th, 2012

Follow your passion, follow your passion, follow your passion. Repeat. Follow your passion.

That mantra has been the cornerstone of career advice for the last twenty years. In fact, I myself gave out that very same advice to my daughter, who is now a graphic designer in Boston. When she was in tenth grade in . . . → Read More: DON’T Follow Your Passion – What?

Boots

November 17th, 2012

Yesterday I read a blog about being gentle with yourself. At the end, it asked, “How are you gentle with yourself?” The first thing that came to mind was Artist’s Dates. I haven’t had an artist date with myself in a very long time. I suddenly realized this when my daughter asked me about gift . . . → Read More: Boots
