Why Would You Want to Read Flying into The Sun?

Why read this book?  Life is about relationships. I have had time to study and observe relationships. My book is the story of a mother, who  faces the emptiness in her life and take responsibility for it, and for the decisions she makes. When we find ourselves on the other side of the earth openings [...]

A GENTLE MADNESS

A Gentle Madness by Nicholas A Basbanes, is my  favorite title ever for a book. Bibliophiles, Bibliomanes, and the Eternal Passion for books.  That is it. If you are not a reader, just delete this. You won’t find it interesting at all. I don’t know what the world would mean to me if I couldn’t, [...]

That Flutter in My Heart.

I have been so many places in my life and  I am full of memories.  I know I cannot return to some of the places I  have been, but somehow they seem stored in my heart.  I see something that reminds me of an experience and there is a warmth, or perhaps a sadness or [...]

Anesthesia affects my brain and body in strange ways.

Where on earth was I?  How could I have been away for so long.  June 22 went in for knee replacement surgery and Poof, there went my blogging skills.   To tell you the truth whenever I have had surgery, the anesthesia takes me somewhere else for a while. Sometimes longer than others.  I came [...]

Preparing for Surgery

Time for a new knee.  The date is made, the tests are getting done and the time closer. I will be very happy when this is done.   I know it is going to be difficult and I have lots of physical therapy which I must do if I want a perfect outcome. I hope [...]

AGING EVERYDAY THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT LIFE IS LIKE AS WE AGE, DAY BY DAY

Last weekend some old friends visited with me.  A lot of time has passed under the bridge since I have seen them. They have taken care of one family and now are taking care of another.  In this case the mother is 105 and the father is 95. Now, that is not an easy job [...]

Ah yes The Rapture

Have you got your little blow up doll to send up into the sky.  I don’t know what that is for, but it sounds like fun. I wonder how many different ways can the bible be mixed up?  How many different mathematical equations can the doomsayers create? I read 2012 and have to agree that [...]

A THOUSAND DAYS IN TUSCANY

I have been on a run reading British mysteries and Scandinavian and French and Italian.   I love mysteries. I love the characters and want to follow them through many books.  They become sort of like family.   There is a wonderful group on Amazon who discuss these books and suggest new ones, or old [...]

Mother’s Day

I like Mother’s Day very much.  I like that I am a mother and a grandmother and that my life worked out that way. I am not very sure that  I ever  thought a lot about how my mother felt about being a mother later on in life. But the first time I heard she [...]

When I Am Uncomfortable There is a Lesson Waiting.

Do you ever get a sick feeling in your stomach when dealing with someone or a situation?  Do you get angry when you are not right?  Do you always have to be right? The other day I had a situation that   I chose to be upset about. Most of my life is so sweet [...]

The Wedding of Kate and William

At first I didn’t feel much interest in the wedding per say.   I thought it would be nice and maybe fun to catch a little. But as the time approached April 27, I began to realize I would be seeing and taking part in history and might as well record the whole thing.   [...]

EASTER IS A WONDERFUL TIME TO START OVER.

It is Easter morning.  I hear the kids down the street laughing and cheering, so happy while they search for Easter eggs in the garden of their grandmother. I feel so happy. I know something has changed inside.  I have tapped into the happiness, we all have inside, but forget to remember at times. This [...]

So Thankful for Adi Da Samraj, my Teacher.

I took my doggie for a short walk this morning.  Across the street there are Poppies, Cosmos, Nasturtiums, Hollyhocks and trees with blossoms.  What a gift, I just sit in my yard and enjoy. One of my favorite things is blooming, almost, and I can see the buds on the Jasmine.   The heavenly scent [...]

WE LIVE IN AMAZING TIMES.

I love to watch the Sunday morning news shows.   I am a junkie of world news.  The things happening in the Middle East are fantastic. For centuries, the people of  Middle East have been invaded, been overrun and divided up and never  really been themselves.  Suddenly all this is changing. We have no idea [...]

Don’t Deprive Yourself

There are necessities, and there are things that really don’t make a difference to me.   I am learning to tell the difference. For months I have been pondering over getting myself a walk in tub.   It is not a cheap decision. It will probably cost five thousand dollars when I am done with [...]

Change Your Prescription til it is Right for You.

I realize I haven’t written here for a long time. It has been  since Thanksgiving when my normal pain medication was taken off the market.  Suddenly, in a moment it was no longer available. No warning and to boot it was a holiday weekend when the doctors were mostly off on holiday.   That was [...]

CAN YOU CHANGE THE PAST?

At seventy six I have lived a long and full life.  I am wise in many ways, but I wasn’t always. I have been talking to a relative who always brings up that I should examine what I did to make my children the way they are now.   It set me to thinking about all [...]

What do you do on a rainy night in Rio?

That old song comes to mind today.  There is nothing that has to be done outside. Inside lots of lists and preparation for Christmas.  My email is all read and answered , my Facebook is full of joy at DADT being passed only waiting for Obama’s signature.   I have a couple more dvd’s and [...]

Do older folks have to take rude actions? Reacting or just standing up for ones rights?

Yesterday I had an incident that made me begin to think about how one would act in the best of worlds.   I live in a very nice supportive neighborhood. I go to Rainbow Bridge the health food store and come out of there charmed at the sales people and the customers.   I have [...]
