On this New Years Eve it is hard not to think about the year that has just passed and wonder about the one that will be here shortly. I have learned something during this past year and it isn't so extraordinary but it is important. Moving forward means letting go of disappointments, and distracti

My stereo was enabled with speakers yesterday. The turntable wasn't working and I Googled the problem which I thought was the belt, and my guy fixed that too. I had an additional light put in a dark spot in the basement and some stuff moved around and the cords hidden. Between the electrician and

I don't know how much television you watch or what you like but last night one of my absolute favorite programs on. Each year the Kennedy Center Awards Show was on and I loved it, and always do. The recipients were varied and amazing and the tributes terrific. The artistic community is wonderful

This morning one of my three grabbed a sock and wanted me to see it. It was as if he was saying, "if I have no toys I will make due with what's around." So thinking he was right I gave each of the three a new sqeaky toy I had put aside for them. They were very happy initially and went their own w

In this wonderful and absolutely festive season there is a great deal of noise. Some of that has to do with tasks and some is just about loss. No matter what is going on around you there is seldom time for reflection. Make the time, and know that there is inspiration in silence. Don't think so mu
