Unexpected Blessings ~ Part II
OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND There have been many times in my life when my default mode has been “Out of sight, out of mind.” When I transferred from public school to boarding school the beginning of 7th grade, it didn’t occur to me to let any of my classmates know, except my bestContinue reading “Unexpected Blessings ~ Part II”
Unexpected Blessings ~ Part I
In the fall of 2018, I had an opportunity to travel to my hometown of Onset, Massachusetts, for only the second time since 1973. The journey was more than I could have wished for….
Last Call for Alcohol (Jack, Maggie and Alcohol)
One of my favorite childhood memories, in terms of my dad’s drinking, (yes I know how strange that may sound) was the sense of celebration when he got home.

Okay, I also have to add that itContinue reading “Timeless Advice from a (somewhat dated) Chick Flick”
A Sideways Look at Life in Lockdown
I feel compelled to begin with something of a disclaimer. I realize the weight of the pandemic that has caused much of the world to grind to a screeching halt and retreat into a science-fiction-like version of society. I am embarrassed to say that all this, our time in lockdown, has snuck up on me.Continue reading “A Sideways Look at Life in Lockdown”
On Friendships
I am thinking about two different themes in this post. How do you, or does one, determine if a person is a friend? And then I also wonder, how do we help our children and young people determine or distinguish about types of friends? And here is another question, can the category of BFF (BestContinue reading “On Friendships”
