I have been told time heals all wounds, but does it? Life is a series of experiences triumphs & tragedies that the passage of time can soften our memories of. Time however, doesn't make those feelings go away. As we grow older & have more memories in our memory bank we can be selective as…
Grateful
Optimist or pessimist? Do you find the 'good' in life and others or do you focus on the 'bad'? Life is a never-ending series of triumphs and challenges. The continual barrage of changing circumstances can be frightening or invigorating, it depends upon your perspective. I am an eternal optimist. I embrace what's good…
Giving Thanks
What are you thankful for; family, friends, good health? Thanksgiving is a day to acknowledge those things we hold near and dear to us, but did you ever wonder if others are thankful having us in their lives? Are our family and friends giving thanks for knowing us and being part of their lives? Does…
1st Anniversary

Friends from yesteryear as well as new ones, the internet has given people an international audience to promote causes, share lives, seek new friendships and reconnect with old ones. The things I write about have…
Living with the truth…..
Wouldn't it be nice if we lived in a world of people acting respectfully and responsibly; a world where people spoke the truth instead of distorting it?

A leopard cannot change its spots…
People are people and this world is filled with lots of them. Family, friends, neighbors, co-workers the list goes on and on. Life is full of constant introductions and interactions with others. There are people we like, people we tolerate and people we love. While philosophers have spent the ages trying to figure out the meaning of life,…
