Mama K: Thoughts on Welcome to Holland
http://mamaksblog.blogspot.com/2010/04/when-we-were-going-through-very.html
Thursday, April 8, 2010. Thoughts on Welcome to Holland. When we were going through the very difficult child-raising years, I came across something that forced me to view life in a new way. It was called Welcome to Holland. Http:/ www.creativeparents.com/Holland.html. The gist of this wonderfully simple piece is that we don't plan to have a child with disabilities, but when it happens, we need to look at that child in a new way. Some of the words have resonated with me for 10 years:. A wonderful post, wi...

Mama K: January 2010
http://mamaksblog.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 19, 2010. Our Visit to See Deepak Chopra. Years ago, a co-worker was offered several tickets to see Deepak Chopra at Severance Hall in Cleveland. He offered me two tickets and I gladly accepted. I tried to convince my husband to go, but he had no interest. I gave him the this-can-improve-your-life plea, but he continued to decline. So I invited my friend Sharon. We looked forward to an evening out with perhaps some spirituality thrown in. And he smiled and said yes. Down the many steps.

Mama K: June 2010
http://mamaksblog.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Our graduate, Heather Grace - "looking into the future" as my husband describes the pose. It seems like just yesterday when the hubby, the daughter (Heather) and I went to orientation at Ohio University. We listened to many speeches about what to expect, and advice was given to parents to stop hovering and let their kids go. And here we were, 4 years later, driving down for graduation. Then it was out to lunch with Heather's good friend and her family. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, March 22, 2010. Bonnie Becomes a BON. I am honored to be selected as a feature blogger of Words of Wisdom (WOW). Please check it out:. Http:/ www.ourwisdomofwords.blogspot.com/. I love the concept of this site and I look forward to finding interesting new blogs to follow. It was created at the perfect time for me, since it seems that several of the blogs I've been faithfully following have abruptly decided to end. And I'm the type of person (nosy) who needs to know what happened! I have been blog...

Mama K: February 2010
http://mamaksblog.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 22, 2010. My husband and I have not taken a vacation together in I don't know how many years - 21? So we are off to Florida tomorrow. I am hoping my son will take good care of the 15 year old dog and the 3 cats. And that the weather down there is halfway decent. Sunday, February 14, 2010. The Festive Blood Drive. I'm hoping there's some relationship between Valentine's Day, the day I am writing this, and the blood drive I recently attended (they're both red? That did it. I needed a n...

Mama K: Water Aerobics for People Like Me
http://mamaksblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/water-aerobics-for-people-like-me.html
Wednesday, September 17, 2008. Water Aerobics for People Like Me. This year, hubby and I decided to join a health club. Mind you, we are not health club type of people. Well, let me amend that. Hubby has belonged to another health club for so many years that he can't resist the cheap dues, so he dutifully goes twice a year for a steam. Well, for many reasons we decided to change our lifestyle. We were going to be healthy, muscular people! 160;The envy of our friends and family! Now I was READY. 160;W...

Mama K: December 2009

Thursday, December 31, 2009. Stuff People Have Said that Amuses Me. Last night as our family was driving together in one car, we were forced to talk to each other. It is rare that the 4 of us have a conversation together. Monday, December 28, 2009. A few months ago, an old college friend, Richard, sent me a downloaded song called Woyaya. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? But if you have the time and inclination, click on the link. I think this song is so beautiful. When I think of my years at York U, my memo...

Saturday, May 29, 2010. Words from Mother Theresa. Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor.Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.". Friday, May 7, 2010. An Evening with Regina Brett.

Mama K: October 2010
http://mamaksblog.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 9, 2010. Several weeks ago, my boss sent me a nasty email. I responded as I usually do to a nasty email - I could feel my blood pressure and heart rate increasing as my face got red and I thought "why do I work here, anyway? Then my annual severe cough - slight fever thing, where I can't breathe - came along. This thing lasts for weeks and I hate it. When I talk, I cough, and when I cough, I can't stop, and then I can't breathe. That came Thursday night. I said actually, yes it did....
