I’ve lived through many Thanksgiving gatherings. Some more pleasant than others. This year as I get ready to embark on this year’s Thanksgiving journey, I felt the need to think about and express the things I am truly thankful for.
I am grateful that, in spite of times that were difficult, and the many days I [...]

Who doesn’t remember where they were the morning of 9/11? When they first heard that one, then another plane had hit the World Trade Center towers. How can we ever forget the footage of the towers plunging to the ground, and the devastation we witnessed that morning?
I remember waking that morning and my husband [...]

Confused About Getting Old

Posted in On Growing Older, tagged , , , , , , on November 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I don’t think it’s easy for people of my generation to know if they’re old or not these days. I mean, when we were growing up – someone in their mid-fifties was certainly thought of as old, especially when most of the people we knew as “elderly” died some time in their 70’s or 80’s.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m sick of the all the media coverage of Sarah Palin.

Gay Marriage, Abortion and Free Will

Posted in Legal Rights, Politics, Thoughts of the Day, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on November 12, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I woke up this morning and something seemed different. A new sense of calm. Of right direction. Not only for myself, but as something you can feel in the air.

2008 Election: Getting our Votes Counted

I live in Florida. The first time in my life that I registered to vote was the year 2000. My reason: the first time I saw George W. Bush, I knew he was definitely NOT a person that should be president.

It’s the day after the election and I’m still addicted to the news coverage of the election. I’ve watched practically non-stop since the Democratic Convention, which was the first time I really saw him as a candidate.
I am a white female in my mid fifties. My story includes the fact that my view [...]
