Where the answers are

Have you seen the movie Forrest Gump or have you watched it recently. I watched it recently. First, it is a great movie for the emotional 360. But most of all I think it is a movie to teach us how to live. Not that I think we should all learn to live by watching movies. However, it is like a good... Sign in to see full entry.

This week started on a mixed note; I just wanted to get back to looking for the answers. I sure don’t have them all and other than in the United States I truly know little. Here is what I do know (for what it is worth): Each of us can bring good to another’s life, with thought and compassion. I wish... Sign in to see full entry.

This is the time of year when not only our pocketbooks running low but our time is very thin. Getting enough sleep is so important, and with most of the country using yesterday to ‘fall back’ (as in Daylight Savings Time in the United States) we should have gotten more sleep right?

This is Friday and as I look forward to a weekend of volunteerism, I know it is hard work but also some of the most gratifying I have done. This time of the year is a time of reflection and giving. There is nothing quite like providing for someone who is in need, and is humbled to the core. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Traveling around to nursing homes and assisted livings the one thing I see most often is loneliness. What a shame! If only we could see what our life will be like in 10, 20, or 30 years; perhaps we could spend just one hour going to for from work one day a week to give the most inexpensive, yet...

I am sure many of you have pets. I have a dog (Sasha – Golden Retriever); also two cats (which for the sake of my sanity we will ignore, at this time). Dogs have been a mainstay in my life for as long as I can remember. Sasha is not just a pet; she is a Therapy Assistance Animal (TAA). Wow, what I... Sign in to see full entry.

My work for the fall is showing some slow down and that means I can spend more time writing. I enjoy writing and have published a book (the accomplishment was great; knowing what I do now I would make several changes). You have probably guessed that my writing is for the most part ‘Self Help’;... Sign in to see full entry.

This is a new day and I have my computer back, the tech and I hope for quite a while. This experience has taught me a great deal. And I would like to share part of this with you through the eyes of a child. We have found that life was better when we looked at the school yard and learned from those... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes I do have visitation to my pc. When humor failed with the IT, I did suggest that they could just set me up in a small space to continue my work (of course at no rental charge). Still no sense of humor. I have written about the fog this week more than once, as this is according to news the worse... Sign in to see full entry.

It is so amazing to look outside and know that just a couple of weeks ago I was flying a kite in the sunshine. I love the fall months, however this year the weather is matching the scary season. We have so much fog and today that fog is dripping with moisture. The Northwest part of the US has a lot... Sign in to see full entry.
