In memory of her recently departed brother–in- law, one of my Facebook friends decided she was establishing a week of random acts of kindness. I loved this idea. What a great way to honor someone that has passed away and will be greatly missed.
Her first act happened, by chance, in the ... Views: 2224
This weekend, as I was driving my car, with the roof down, I almost started crying. It was a most beautiful day… warm and sunny and the trees had just started to bloom. The day felt like a beautiful gift. I started to think of all the good things I had in my life and realized how lucky I was. My ... Views: 1233
I hate being a sucker. This morning, like every morning for the past 3 months, my furnace didn’t clank and bang trying to warm up my house. I could see the sun shining through the window and I heard the birds chirping. There was no white stuff on the ground. Is it possible? Is winter over? Hmmm… ... Views: 1348
As much as I need my alone time I don't like to be alone.
Let me backtrack. A few months ago, on a Friday night, I found myself alone. My son was at his Dad’s house and my boyfriend was at band practice. I decided I was going to have a great night even if I was alone. I would eat a healthy ... Views: 1382

I don’t know where you live, but here in New Jersey, the temperature is below freezing and when I tell you it’s ungodly cold out, I’m speaking from experience. This morning I woke up to over a foot of beautiful white snow and all of it seemed to be piled up in my driveway. Since I never got ... Views: 1261
Halloween is one of my favorite times of year and also one of my most dreaded. I love looking at the changing leaves, getting apples from the farm and handing out candy to all the cute little ghosts and goblins. To me it signals the beginning of the holiday season and all the wonderful craziness ... Views: 1151
I’m not a total Scrooge, but I am so glad the holidays are behind us. I love all the planning and preparing, all the trips to the mall, all the gathering with friends for wine and holiday food…but when December 31st comes rolling around, I’m ready for it all to be over and ready for my many New ...
