family-and-friends needs pool
We all have a personal pool of quicksand inside us where we begin to sink and need friends and family to find us and remind us of all the good that has been and will be.
future may each-day
Each day is a precious gift to be savored and used, not left unopened and hoarded for a future that may never come.
hurt people forgiving
It's easier to forgive those who hurt you than those who hurt the people you love.
book gold treasure
A book store is a treasure chest. Every time you walk in one, you strike gold.
grandparent lucky cherish
If you're lucky enough to still have grandparents, visit them, cherish them and celebrate them while you can.
showing-up life-is do-the-best
Most of life is showing up. You do the best you can, which varies from day to day.
stars thinking clothes
'Star Trek' never grabbed me. Every time I hear about Klingons, I think of those little lint balls that stick to your clothes in the dryer.
phones circles ideas
The idea of being stuck in a plane with dozens of people chatting over each other on their phones might feel like Dante's 10th circle of hell.
phones cells watches
The last watch I wore felt like a handcuff. When I need to know the time, I check my cell phone.
air silence solitude
There are few places you can find silence. Air travel could be the last fortress of solitude.
heaven each-day matter
No matter how I feel, I get up, dress up, and show up for life. When I do, the day always serves up more than I could have hoped for. Each day truly is a slice of heaven. Some days the slices are just smaller than others.
running people calendars
It's rare to find someone excited over jury duty. If they're out there, I've never met them. Not a one. When the summons for jury duty arrives in the mail, how many people scream, 'Yes!' and run to clear the calendar? None. Our first and only reaction is, 'Oh, no,' quickly followed by, 'How can I get out of this?'
writing order phones
If you want to lose 40 pounds, you order salad instead of fries. If you want to be a better friend, you take the phone call instead of screening it. If you want to write a novel, you sit down and write a single paragraph. It's scary to make major changes, but we usually have enough courage to take the next right step.
mom children comforting
Bakers get excited over aprons. I love the soft cotton ones with pockets like my gramma and mom wore. They always kept a hankie tucked in one pocket, which wasn't sanitary, but was comforting to the child who needed a tear or nose wiped.
