Sigh… ain’t that the truth! Moving through the in-betweens – those transitional Neutral Zones between closing doors and opening doors can be hell… even when we occasionally manage to Continue reading » Where the Hell’s the Door Out? Photo credit: Space & Light Are you ready for a downhill run?
The Cyclists Warning Sign in today’s photo got me thinking about the downhill runs all of us, sooner or later, are likely to encounter… and I wondered how we might (metaphorically speaking) test our brakes before we found ourselves speeding down a mountain out of control. Is it possible there are precautions we could put in place now that would make us better prepared for such eventualities? Yes, I think so. But in order for those precautions to be available to us we need to Continue reading » Try Your Brakes Now How do you see the road ahead?Can We See Our Way Through to Better Times?Have you ever put on someone’s prescription glasses and suddenly gone dizzy? Well I would suggest that’s how many of us are looking into the future – with lenses prescribed for the past. And those glasses are making us feel disoriented. There’s a mismatch between what we expect/want to see and what we actually see before us now. So Many Trials & TribulationsMy niece recently wrote on Facebook, “Cancer sucks”.

How do you figure out when to take a breather and how to return with new energy?Sunday, already in a BAD mood but boxed-in by time constraints, I tackled my piled-high desk, trying to create an orderly working-space for doing my most hated cluster of tasks – ones my husband (a cost accountant by education and profession) used to do before cancer stole him from us – THE BILLS. And suddenly, wham! I’m on the verge of despair and tears, helplessly bemoaning: “I’ll NEVER get this done, this is hopeless. I just can’t do this!” Continue reading » Is There Such a Thing as Chaos on the Cusp of Order?If you have had to work your way through pain and back when the worst has happened, and you have strength to share – please share!Warning – Like Walking Beside, this too will be a tough read. When I was trying to figure out how to express my feelings about my husband’s failed-fight to regain good health, I found “A Grain of Sand”, which was written awhile ago for a writing class. After reading it, I suddenly knew how I could begin to tell you about his struggle and my grief. Both are true stories in the saga of his brave journey. |
 Take a short break and consider the following: “The closing of a door can bring blessed privacy and comfort - the opening, terror. Conversely, the closing of a door can be a sad and final thing - the opening a wonderfully joyous moment.” Andy Rooney
