The title of this column is actually a quote by Loren Eiseley. In fact, I used to own a T-shirt with this quote on it. It’s always been an amazing medium to me, that’s for sure. For there is nothing that can create magic quite as easily as water. I always feel better in or... Continue Reading →
I typically don’t do a lot with community theater over the summer. It’s a very busy time for me, and the season is so short that I don’t want a lot of commitments keeping me indoors and away from all that warmth and sunshine. But in early June the community theater held its annual membership... Continue Reading →
Last week as I was walking to work, noticing little things along the way as I always do, I spotted something quite different. As I passed a home in mid-block where I had crossed the street – yes I am a chronic jay-walker, rebel that I am – I noticed that someone, I assume a... Continue Reading →
Buddhist philosophy states that we cause our own suffering, and it’s true. We have all sorts of assumptions, expectations and beliefs in place of how things are supposed to be, and when reality doesn’t live up to that, we decide that we are unhappy. That’s the basics of being happy, folks. It’s really that simple.... Continue Reading →
The other day, something interesting happened. I had a moment while sitting in an upstairs room at the back of my home. I had been running errands all day, and it felt a little like swinging from vine to vine, with no breaks in between. I had visited with a friend or two, and had... Continue Reading →

As some of you may remember, my wonderful girl Ms. K, who had been with me for over seven years, passed away the week before Thanksgiving 2019. After a month of giving my grief the proper space to process, I began looking for a new companion. Mr. Tee had an adorable photo and profile, and... Continue Reading →
And in a lot of ways, it's still not over. Hopefully we've found ways of coping with it. Or maybe we're still figuring it out. Either way, we've discovered a lot about ourselves since last March, whether we wanted to or not. When the big shut down came, I'll admit it was scary. I remember feeling... Continue Reading →
This is a repost of a previously posted story. My friend Bev reminded me earlier this week that it would be a good idea to share it again. Merry Christmas and good tidings to all who read it, whether you celebrate Christmas or another wonderful holiday at this time of year. Hey, you know what?... Continue Reading →
It had been a good week, but still, I was happy for it to be Friday. I was looking forward to a weekend with no commitments, heaven for an introvert. I got home, changed out of my work clothes into something soft and comfortable, and after making supper, I crashed on the couch for a... Continue Reading →
