March Is OUR Month!
Do you remember what you were doing on this day five years ago? Two years ago? For some of us to remember what we did last Tuesday, we may have to pause and think, What did I do last Tuesday? For sure, mundane events that circumvent or invade our lives every day can make remembering a bit taxing, but there are some things that one should make every effort to remember: appointments, dinner invites, family get-togethers, birthdays, and of course… anniversaries! I realize that for many the...

As I reflect back on my previous month’s post (To Quit or Not To Quit), I feel the need to pursue the “quitting” theme once again. There were some who felt that a person should continue on, climb that mountain, as it were, despite the odds, while others felt it was okay to quit, but only for the right reasons. And depending on the circumstances, I believe that either would be the right choice. However, the reason for engaging my thoughts (and yours!) on this topic once again comes from...

Baseball is almost over for the season and I will go into a bit of a withdrawal!

Growing up as a child my waking days focused primarily on my neighbourhood friends. Across the road, down the street, and around the corner… there were many of us and we had a ton of fun. We were simply boys and girls being kids, enjoying the freedom and innocence that comes with childhood (although I’m quite sure we were unaware that such freedom and innocence was ours!). Life was simple and geared to mischievous children determined to play nicky nicky nine doors every Halloween on...

As I write this, my husband and I are enjoying a much anticipated visit with our son and daughter-in-law in the States. I came prepared to enjoy warmer days, having left behind piles of snow and freezing weather with great pleasure. Let’s face it, living through Ontario winters makes it very easy to seek sunshine that feeds buds on trees, encourages birds to express their morning wake-up call—much to the chagrin of some!— and makes sitting in a pool of sunshine a welcome treat. I think by...
