As I alluded to in a FaceBook status posting recently, I’m a book addict. I LOVE books, and I love to buy books. The only problem is I don’t always have time to read books, thus I have a ton of them.
In the initial days of living in my new, wonderful apartment, I opened [...]
Driving home one day from who knows where, I got a phone call from a woman I had never met. Her name is Linda Watson. She had gotten my name and phone number from a man whom, to this day, I have yet to meet (although some day I would like to thank him in [...]
If you, like me, grew up a child of the 60’s and 70’s, you’re familiar with the song evoked by the title of this post. Unlike the signs in the song, however, the “signs” I’ve seen of late are of a more positive nature. Like the author of that song, I also feel a strong [...]

Day three in my new “home”…
Many boxes and containers have been emptied, which is always a little like opening presents. It’s fun to find things you forgot about, re-read notes stuffed inside a book or just find something that makes you wonder…”why the hell did I keep that”?
I’ve gotten tired easily these past couple [...]

I fell in love today. No…unfortunately not with someone tall, dark, and handsome…but with my new apartment! It was pretty much love at first sight! As soon as we walked in with the first armloads of belongings, I felt at home!
My new home is spacious with high ceilings, a fireplace, terrific walk-in closet [...]
Somewhere recently I read that on the date of your birthday each month you should do something you’ve never done before to celebrate all year long. I thought that sounded like a cool idea; and when I began to try and think about things I’d be willing to do that I’d never done before, it [...]
Dictionary.com defines “thrive” as “prospering, to be fortunate or successful; to flourish”.
I don’t want to just live to 105; I want to thrive to 105! The chapter I read this morning from Discover Inner Peace talked about being in the moment. There’s a lot written and spoken about that these days. If you’re like me, [...]
He called me “Sparky” or sometimes the derivative, “Sparkles”. I can’t really remember why anymore. He was the only one who called me by that nickname, and it was very endearing when he said it.
We all called him “Farmer”, (except for Annie, who called him “Paw”), although he didn’t make his living as a [...]
I seem to be hung up these days on making sure I don’t ignore or minimize the wealth of my years…the experiences, the learning, the people, the spirit, the love. After 50+ years of hanging around, how do we take stock of the things that are worth holding on to and the things that we [...]
I just got a great new book written by a couple of physicians (Dr. Ronald Klatz and Dr. Robert Goldman) who are the President and Chairman, respectively, of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine. Did you know there was such a group? I didn’t until recently, but I’m hoping it will be a real source [...]
