Seatmates are a game of chance. I won! Here’s to giggles and Peace! Ann I’m posting here the times for the risings and settings of the Sun and Moon for where I live (Sunbury PA, USA). This is a good thing to know about our day. TimeandDate.com/astronomy is one resource for looking up your own […]

At this age, retirement notwithstanding, you don’t often get these — or you don’t often take these — long days and extravagantly waste them in Cousinly Company. Why not.

There is a shift I feel from this gathering. My life is extraordinary. At the same time, my awareness that life has edges is edging its way forward. Nothing huge or frightening, simply a recognition of an “is-ness” of Life and my role as this Family ebbs and flows. “To Life, to Life: L’Chaim.”  Ann […]

Here in this place of Deep Peace – where I am reminded how lucky I am to be alive – I’ve been remembering all the sweetness in my Life. There is space to Remember. To Mourn. To Celebrate. To Pause. Because Life is Beautiful. Inspiring. Unnerving. Did I say Life? I think I meant Peace… […]

There are challenges. Some of what I have to write today is organizing and writing my cousin’s memorial. But Home holds me (sigh, internet or no.)
