Father’s Day

We have lots of days to celebrate things.  Birthdays, holidays and one of them is Father's Day.  A day dedicated to the first man in our life who takes care of us and guides us; dad.  I have been blessed with a very special dad.  Now 86 years old, he has been the foundation in my…

National Cancer Suvivors Day

Today is National Cancer Survivors Day.  A day to celebrate those who have fought cancer, those who have lost their battle, those who have waged the war on this deadly disease and pretty much anyone who has been affected by it.  When you think about it in those terms, today is a day to be…

The Non-coincidental Coincidence

Life has a funny way of presenting coincidence.  There are some who say coincidence is just irony, I on the other hand beg to differ.  Coincidence in my mind is God's way of putting 'pieces' of life's complications together.   Tonight I attended a long time friends nuptials.   For someone who has never been married, the…

Everyone is pretty much the same…

I blog, I tweet, I stumble, I Pin and I Facebook.  I spend hours 'connecting' with the world through my computer.  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…

Shame on Good Morning America

September is quickly coming to an end and even before the last day of childhood cancer awareness month is over, 'pink' is already being promoted in the media. Magazines, advertisements, television and everywhere I look I am overwhelmed with 'pink'. I understand raising awareness for breast cancer, I don't understand the total lack of support…

God Bless America!

I believe in God and I believe I have a right to say that. I am a citizen of the United States of America and I am proud to be an American. This country has been built on the diversity of its people and the hard work of generations. What distinguishes us from others is…

Cancer

Optimists have a way of finding good in everything.  Looking at life as though the glass is half full is a way of appreciating the small things and trying not to be overwhelmed by the bad.  There are times however, when the bad seems to overtake even an optimist.  Cancer sucks and I have spoken…
