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…
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? Wouldn't it be nice if your relatives were role models and nice people? Wouldn't it be nice if those who supposedly loved us actually showed it to us…
Happy Birthday Mom!
October 24th is my mother's birthday. She turned 85 years old today and my family is very blessed to still have her and my dad with us. My mother is suffering from issues and at her age she is not alone, but generally she is fine. How do you celebrate a birthday when you turn…
Tim Tebow and the Broncos….
Tim Tebow and the Broncos season ended last night in Foxboro with a decisive loss. Tom Brady and the Patriots were unstoppable and played flawlessly and with home field advantage they triumphed. Congratulations to them and to the eventual Superbowl winners. I am disappointed the Broncos didn't go all the way, but so is every other fan whose team…
Thank you Tim Tebow
I love Tim Tebow. From when he was a Gator and my daughter Lauren was a Gator too, Tim Tebow stands for so much that is good and is my definition of a hero. I find it interesting however, how the media and most people bad mouth him. John Elway had his own reservations about who Tim Tebow…
Happy Birthday Dad!
Today is September 7, my dad's 84th birthday. I am so lucky that he is still with us to celebrate this day. My dad is a really special man. A WWII veteran, he grew up in an era when men had dignity and class. They took care of their families no matter what and were…
The ‘Devolution’ of the United States
The role of parents to teach, guide and nurture their children is an ongoing process and never a perfect art. There is no book of instructions that comes with a newborn baby so we are left to our own devices to raise our children. The way we were brought up is the basis for what we do with our own children. …
Happy Birthday Stephen!
Today is my son Stephen's 19th birthday a day I remember as a very special day. It was the day I gave birth to my little boy for whom I had such great aspirations and dreams. Life has a funny way of not turning out the way you planned however, as I have not had the luxury of sharing his birthday…
Happy Father’s Day!
Happy Father's Day! A day set aside to celebrate the men in our lives who care about their families and live their lives protecting them. Anyone can have a child, it takes someone special to love that child. I have been blessed with an amazing father who has taught me that his love for me…
62 Years of Marriage……Happy Anniversary!
Today, June 12, is my parents 62nd wedding anniversary. Sixty two years is a long time and a feat that most people will never accomplish with today's current divorce rate around fifty percent. My parents are from a different generation of people who understood sacrifice. Depression era kids, they knew poverty and worked hard to give their family a better…
