I want to recommend to everyone ‘When A Crocodile Eats the Sun‘. And if you are very brave try your hand and heart with ‘House of Stone.’. Actually, read House first, than Crocodile. I still have them checked out from the library. AMAZING stuff. My head is so full of facts and my heart is …
Pain in the BACK!
Down and out for the count. So sad. If I have to be slumped over from back pain shouldn’t I at least have grandkids to help pick things up off the floor for me? ARGH! This getting old thing is getting old! Are my racquet ball days really over? Who stole the youth from the …
Feels like….
To my children who are in that stage of life where they need to know if what they feel is real. Once you have felt it you know the others were counterfeits. Does it keep you up at night? Does it chase you in your dreams? Does rip you up inside, tearin at the seams? …
The Ones Who Do
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently.

Nehanda

Depend On It
I like days when I wake up. I mean wake up and I know me…more. This week I began to understand clearer the difference between standards and values. I know…DUH!!!!!!! Granted, it takes me awhile to catch on or maybe digging deeper doesn’t just create a personal cave or maybe it does. I often wondered …
State of Mind
Nobody grows old merely by living a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. ~Samuel Ullman I remember my grandparents coming to visit me in Mexico after Saac was born. My grandmother was holding Saac. She looked at me …

To the Morning Watching the sun Watching it come Watching it come up over the rooftops. Cloudy and warm Maybe a storm You can never quite tell From the morning. And it’s going to be a day There is really no way to say no To the morning. Dan Fogelberg
Motivation
Computers are magnificent tools for the realization of our dreams, but no machine can replace the human spark of spirit, compassion, love, and understanding.

What I Think
This little being was born 52 years ago at 7:45 a.m. Today as she made a wish on 52 candles she thought, what would it be like if just once a year at the exact moment one was born one could make a wish and it really would come true. Hmmmm, interesting premise to think …
