Sunrise…Sunset. I’ve always loved watching the sun rise and set. My poor husband has endured (and enjoyed) many early alarms while on vacation at the shore or other beaches so I could take countless photos of the sun rising. We happen to live very near a large reservoir, and the setting sun reflects beautifully in the water. Even from inside [...]

February 16, 2012Every day, I DVR The Ellen Show. In the evening, I catch up as time allows. Last night, I watched Monday’s show with guest Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer was wearing a black skirt with the word L-O-V-E across the front. Ellen commented that it is good for the universe to wear clothes with positive words like that. She asked [...]

February 9, 2012Last weekend my husband and I spent four days with our son, his wife and their 2-1/2 month old baby. Last time we saw them, the baby was only two weeks old. So much has changed so quickly! Today, I am thankful for the joys found in this time with our grandson. It’s been a long while [...]

February 2, 2012My son and his wife adopted a dog last weekend. They are very excited about it! Cute little three month old black puppy, retriever mix. We face-timed Sunday night for a little bit and the dog didn’t bark at all. So far, it seems the dog is very good with the baby, just likes to [...]

January 26, 2012As I write this, it’s Wednesday evening, and I’ve been sitting with my fingers poised over my laptop, talking to my husband and watching a recording of today’s Ellen Show. Until a few moments ago, I was stuck on what to write for this week’s TYT post. It has been a very trying few weeks. I’ve been [...]

January 12, 2012I was ten years old when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. Old enough to remember, young enough to not quite understand all the implications. Over time, I have certainly come to appreciate Dr. King’s life, service, commitment, and passion for athe rights of all human beings. The MLK.gov website summarizes his message by [...]

January 5, 2012I have written several times about my Mom. She is in the latter stages of Alzheimer’s disease. I only get to visit her about twice a year, because she is in a nursing home in another state. My brother lives nearby and visits Mom more frequently. This past weekend, thanks to a great last minute airfare deal, [...]

December 29, 2011This is the 52nd week of the year. The 52nd Thursday. My 52nd ‘Thank you Thursday” post of 2011. I’ve shared a lot of gratitude over all these weeks. Yet, I feel like I’ve barely been thankful enough. I have the great gifts of an amazing family and a small, but mighty, circle of friends. I have a [...]

December 22, 2011In the span of a few days, some of us are already commemorating Channukah, some will soon be celebrating Christmas, others will then be marking Kwanzaa. A fair number of people don’t celebrate religious holidays or cultural occasions at all, but instead choose to mark this season simply with joyful giving from the heart. As [...]
