Love Forever
October 3, 2026
High up on our favourite hill Pockets full of dreams fulfilled Try to make the day stand still it makes me wonder If I tell you half enough How I’m thankful for your love Whatever lies in store for us please just remember That if you go before me I could plant a million […]
Let your light shine

This morsel is dedicated to Barbara Glanz of Sarasota, Florida. She is a renowned mother, grandmother, author, speaker, and a light that shines so bright. In a time full of war, be peace In a time full of doubt, just believe Yeah, there ain’t that much difference between you and me In a […]
The question
October 2, 2026
You are the author of your own story. What are you going to write today? There will come a day when the lights go out one last time, a day when the work and the living and the loving is all done. No one knows for certain what lies beyond that day. But if you’ve […]
Dancing with the bears
October 2, 2026
Some people believe that the Macarena began in Spain but those in the know swear that it started in a zoo in Philadelphia with thousands of dollars raised for charity as visitors could insert 4 quarters in a mini jukebox and select songs that bears loved to dance to.
A Memorable Flight
September 24, 2026
This was a neat story in Janice Dean’s book entitled Make Your Own Sunshine. A young couple was returning home on a flight with their newly adopted daughter. The flight attendants learned of their story and decided to make an announcement to the other passengers. The cabin, upon hearing the news, erupted in applause […]
Genius
June 20, 2023
It was unlike any dream in my first seventy three years of life. The only word that comes close to describe it is ‘luminous’. There were reassuring voices of people in the past…ones no longer here but still somehow remaining in touch. It was clear that they live now in a remarkable place. Delete that…an […]
The Sprinkler
October 4, 2026
It’s clear, that in this season of water restrictions, we don’t see nearly the number of water sprinklers as in previous years. Yesterday, I did see a sprinkler trying valiantly to bring a parched patch of grass back to life. This turf has been assaulted daily by record setting high temperatures and unrelenting sun. Driving […]

Timeout
October 3, 2026
There are signs. Inklings. Indications. Synchronicities that happen where you just have to shake your head and whisper ‘WoW’. The trouble these days is our speed up…get it in gear…pedal to the metal frenetic pace of life that blurs our vision. It dulls our senses and makes us hard of hearing. When rushed, we miss […]
Silly Little Things
October 3, 2026
Andre Agassi could have been the first player to use string dampeners to lessen the’ping’ sound at impact. His was a rubber band tied in two knots around the two central vertical strings. These days, we see a lot of worm dampeners that extend across the entire width of the string bed. Here’s my take […]
Hang in there

“No one is beat till he quits, no one is through till he stops. No matter how hard failure hits, no matter how often he drops, a fellow’s not down till he lies in the dust and refuses to rise.” Edgar Guest
New horizons
October 3, 2026
Promise me that you’ll remain open to new possibilities and the potential wrapped inside the gift of change Convince me that you will continue searching with a heart of hope when one door closes and you feel lost Promise me that you’ll see with fresh eyes shining and stride confidently down new paths that call […]
It is good
October 2, 2026
I love this life and patiently embrace the challenges that flow…like a river, to me each day.
Cwaaaazzzzy Doubles Point
October 2, 2026
It’s been reported that The Bryan Brothers played The US Open doubles final one year and the contest lasted nearly two and a half hours….they had only two net errors. Most club teams reach that number in one or two games. Noted teaching pro Welby Van Horn called net errors ‘felonies.’ Type up this reminder […]
Love lives on
October 2, 2026
The following is excerpted from the book The Rabbit Effect by Dr. Kelli Harding. ‘In the midst of a January snowstorm, I went to see my mom’s body one final time at the funeral home before it was cremated. She’d died only four days before, and it had been just over two weeks since the […]
Perspective
October 2, 2026
Everyone has bad moments…bad days that leave a sour taste in your mouth. It’s then that a walk in the woods can help. I mean, really…your day certainly pales in comparison to this guy.
Pia vindicated
October 2, 2026
In 1898, Secondo Pia was given the opportunity to photograph The Shroud of Turin with his rudimentary camera. The images he subsequently developed in his darkroom at home astounded many but angered thousands more who derided him with accusations that he doctored the photographs. Pia wrote that he trembled when the plate of the negative […]
Gotcha
October 2, 2026
In the late fifties and sixties, it seemed as if The New York Yankees won The World Series almost every year. In that era, many of the games were played as day games much to the chagrin of a die hard baseball fan named Tom Finholm. We attended St. Anne’s grade school in Prairie Village, […]
Grace
September 30, 2026
You are my North Star… the anchor I cling to when the clouds darken and the seas roll You are my oasis… the quiet place I thirst for when the desert surrounds me and hope is fading You are my lifeline… the connection I cherish when friends are few and I feel alone You speak […]
Food for thought
September 30, 2026
A couple of songs this week have sparked me to consider that…when leaving this earth, we are greeted by heavenly angels singing ‘welcome home’ tunes. They instantly remind us that we are spiritual beings coming back to the home we long for all of our days. Perhaps we are invited to join this exalted choir […]
