My first blog post was in August of 2012. A lot has changed in my life since then. These last ten years have been a time of transition in just about every area of my life. As I go back and read my posts, I see times of confusion, times of loss, and lots of [...]

A Tribute to Mom who Turns 95
When someone asks my mom about the secret to her long life she says, "Well, I just live life." This was taken on her 95th Birthday. Mom's life has been one that would seem to many as full of adventure and excitement. I see it as one that has demanded a lot of bravery and [...]
USE IT OR LOOSE IT
Last month I turned 69, so I am now living my 70th year. Wow!! For some reason, 70 is a big deal in my mind. I feel like I am getting ready to cross over into another country.....Senior Country. Every decade in life presents its own challenges, and I'm not so sure I am ready [...]

Our Fall is our hurricane season and it was one year ago that we lived through Hurricane Irma. Every hurricane [...]
ARE DETOURS NECESSARY?
Last month was pretty crazy. There were days when I had a really hard time seeing any good that could possibly come out of quitting a job I had begun only three months before. I mean, what had I been thinking when I said "yes" to working again? I am the kind of person who [...]

This season of life is full of change. The hardest change is experiencing the loss of close relationships. Loss is so difficult whether it’s your parents or your best friend.
