Do you remember life before the internet? Before the internet, there was the World Book Encyclopedias. There were libraries with research books. Information was not readily available. Now its at your finger tips. But with the good things come the not-so-good things. The isolation. The lack of communication between family members. The neck thing. ThisContinue reading “Simpler Times”

What are you good at? I’m a good listener. I don’t always need to hear myself talk. As a counselor, I would listen. I let people talk. I let people work things out through my listening and their talking. As a mom, I listened to my child. I could hear what was said between theContinue reading “Listening”

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable? Having it all means having enough. Being satisfied with what I have and not always looking for more. Our society has become one of success being measured by how much you have. Keeping up with the next guy. My measurement of success is beingContinue reading “Having Enough”

Who would you like to talk to soon? Fortunately I have surrounded myself throughout my life with wise counsel. Be it the sage wisdom of my father, the loving support of my mother or the consistent pattern of listening from my sister, all have added to my well being.

What personal belongings do you hold most dear? I can’t say that I hold any personal belongings most dear. Maybe my wedding ring. Maybe my photo books.

I used to collect antique plates but again no more! I moved into a much smaller home in Florida. It makesContinue reading “What do I collect?”

What is the legacy you want to leave behind? I’ve had a wonderful life with some bumps in the road, but nevertheless wonderful. I hope through these years I have instilled in my daughter a moral compass that should be followed. A belief that all things are possible if you work for them and thatContinue reading “My Legacy”

How do you feel about cold weather? I grew up in a change of seasons and cold weather meant my birthday, holidays, snowmen and ice skating. After Labor Day the days began to get shorter and the nights much chillier. School started once again and I was not a big fan. Out came the warmContinue reading “Brrrr”

How do you balance work and home life I worked hard all my life. I was a single mom for 10 years during my working years and yes the balancing act was challenging. I wanted to ensure my daughter received the love and attention she needed while I still put food on the table. IContinue reading “A balancing act”

What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today? Well if it’s a thing rather than clothing it would be my wedding ring. I married almost 31 years ago. My engagement ring was actually given to me on our 10th anniversary. Still another thing is my pocketbook. It’s a baggallini. Great for traveling. Now my oldest pieceContinue reading “Oldest thing?”
