Helping me through a mammogram scare, I profusely thanked my amazing friend for being by my side for the follow-up ultrasound and the agonizing 24 hours in between that second test and the call that the mammogram showed something suspicious. Her response to me was, “This is what we do”. She…

Wiping My Nose
While cleaning this morning, my allergies were in full revolt from the cleaning products. It is also a muggy day here and I couldn’t wait to finish my chores and get in the shower I had just scrubbed. I reached for the clean tissue I had set on the sink…
Different Strokes For Same Folks
We are so fortunate to have so many choices in life. There are the ones we make every minute: what to have for lunch, how we wear our hair, what we read (if we even chose to read), where we go and what we do when we get there and…

Fantasy Baseball
Yesterday Darren Daulton died. He was a catcher for the Phillies in the 80s and 90s. My husband gave me the news when he came to bed last night. We were both avid Phillies fans during Daulton’s playing years and although we never met the man we felt like we…
They Don’t Check Me Out
Sometimes when I’m at the library I have to ask for help in finding a book. I always tell the person I am visually impaired and I wonder what the librarian thinks about someone getting a book who cannot see well enough to locate a particular title on the shelf. I…
