• REST–Who Me?

  It’s been a challenging year and a half. Social distancing, zoom meetings, masking, and more have made life a new adventure. There’s comfort in what we know; transition is not something many of us do well. Change is tiring. I’m someone who is comfortable with people, doing rather than sitting, and getting the things done…

• Like Father–Like Us?

  With Father’s Day just passed, it’s interesting to recognize how people view it. I used to ask Mom if she had gotten Dad a gift to honor his day. Her response, “No, he’s not my father.” I have a good friend whose dad is unresponsive and indifferent. Celebrating him makes no sense because he doesn’t…

• Identifying The Apple

  Every person alive has quirks. With six children, I’ve seen my share of quirky behavior. Each child had their own brand of unique conduct. Many times it made me smile; sometimes it was annoying. When Melody was growing up, she quickly learned the concept of “options”. She was great at making decisions, but she preferred…
