We are reminded of the fragility of life in many ways.  We may lose someone who we thought would outlive us.  A car accident may take a friend that you met for coffee yesterday morning.  A loved one may go instantly due to a heart attack.  We lose people who are close to us in […]

Have you ever reached a point where you feel you just can’t go on?  You finish one battle only to begin another.  You work through one obstacle only to be confronted with another.  You leave one closed door only to be met with another.  You feel like you are constantly struggling, right? But, I’d wager […]

I’ve learned.  A lot.  And I learn every day and I pray that I continue to learn every day until the day I die.  I never, ever want to be at a place where I stop learning.  Isn’t that what life is all about? Learning? In my life, I’ve lived, I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve […]

All of us have our own perceptions of beauty.  We see a beautiful face and we think, “Oh what a beautiful face”.  Or we see a really fit, youthful body and we think, “They look so young and fit.”  And sometimes our thinking is wistful.  We long to be like them, to not have the […]
