Something To Look At Besides The Bad News
When problems arise, especially continuing, long, long time problems, our minds become consumed with trying to figure out ways to cope.

Spring For A Day
My redbud tree across the way is in full bloom. Not only the branches, but the whole trunk has little clusters of blooms up and down that look like corsages pinned to its bosom, and to its shoulder, and to its waist; even one to its wrist I think. I love the color of the redbud blooms. Across the...

What Have We Come To?
Have you ever had to fire (let go) an employee because the business is in trouble for one reason or another, and watch them break down because they need the job so badly and they love the job and like you as their boss? Florida Son had a bad weekend worrying because on Friday he had to let four...

What A Time To Be A Nurse
She's a beauty my sweet and lovely granddaughter. She is a nurse at a hospital in Florida in the greater Orlando area. She is everything one would expect in a caring nurse--a great smile, long blond shiny hair, a physical shape to die for, gentle hands to bring comfort. But, the patients are not...
