Care
What happens when the caretaker needs care? I make pots of minestrone and loaves of bread for people who are ill. I send care packages full of puzzle books, crayons, Silly Putty, games, and magazines to injured friends and family. … Continue reading
Plans
Most of us have heard the Burns/Sheldon saying about “the best laid plans.” But the turn of phrase I usually use is Julia Sweeney’s “God said, ‘Ha!’” This has been/continues to be a year of change in all aspects of … Continue reading

I fall fast. And I fall hard. I am certain. Then I doubt. I lose faith in my feelings. I don’t believe that someone else could truly love me. I wonder if I’m forcing something that isn’t real. I guess … Continue reading
