Life's Transitions: November 2007
http://lifestransitions.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 19, 2007. Is It Really Thanksgiving? Is It Really Thanksgiving? Is it really Thanksgiving, or is it simply a holiday full of food, football games, and family reunions? Do you ever really think about what Thanksgiving means to you, or do you just go through all the motions of the family traditions – who’s going to cook the turkey, who’s going to bring the pies, and who’s going to figure out the seating so there are no arguments or hard feelings? To me, Thanksgiving is being. When they cho...

Life's Transitions: Long time gone . . .
http://lifestransitions.blogspot.com/2010/10/long-time-gone.html
Friday, October 15, 2010. Long time gone . . . It's been a long time since I've been here. It seems after my mom died last year, the blog seem to die for a while too. Maybe for a while I just didn't have the heart, but now it feels like the time is right to start again and share the stories and notes about the transitions of my life. I am no longer working as the manager of the senior apartment complex where I live. I had to step down because of health issues, but I am now the assistant manager with ...

Life's Transitions: A Topsy-Turvy Week!
http://lifestransitions.blogspot.com/2010/10/topsy-turvy-week.html
Monday, October 25, 2010. Haven't had much sleep the last few days. I think it's because of a new medication. Whatever the reason, it's made me a bit loopy, and the fibro fog is a bit thicker than usual this week! Did I say a BIT thicker! Actually, the last couple of days, it's been thicker than pea soup! The blessings continue to flow though, so I'm not really complaining! How far will those riches really get them, and how long will they last. On the other hand, many of the poor are able to deal with t...

Life's Transitions: January 2009
http://lifestransitions.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 26, 2009. Death of a Generation. My mother passed away a little over a week ago, and it was the end of an era for our family. Her parents were long ago deceased, and she was the last of six siblings. It was the death of a generation. She was our matriarch, our rock. She was the one we all turned to with our joys, our sorrows, our troubles, or just because we had something we wanted to share with her. All my life you were there when I needed you. But somehow you slowly slipped away. There&...

Life's Transitions: April 2007
http://lifestransitions.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 13, 2007. Today is Friday, the 13th, typically a day clothed in superstition and thoughts of bad luck, etc. The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskavedekatriaphobia (a word that is derived from the concatenation of the Greek words Παρασκευή, δεκατρείς, and φοβία, meaning Friday, thirteen, and phobia respectively; alternate spellings include paraskevodekatriaphobia or paraskevidekatriaphobia) or friggatriskaidekaphobia, and is a specialized form of triskaidekaphobia.

Life's Transitions: October 2007
http://lifestransitions.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 21, 2007. Old people are slow. Old people are grouchy. Old people talk too much. Old people are our past - our history. Old people are often an untapped goldmine of treasure. Have you ever sat and talked with an old person? Have you ever listened to what they have to say? I don't mean with half an ear on the television, or giving an occasional "uh huh.". I mean, have you ever. Listened to what they have to say? Have you heard their stories - their history? 1 Timothy 5:1, 2. Ecclesiastes 3...

Life's Transitions: February 2007
http://lifestransitions.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 23, 2007. Have you ever had an experience that makes you feel like you’ve just had the rug pulled out from under you? Maybe it was a hurtful experience, or a shocking experience, or maybe a revelation about your life that just seemed to come out of left field. We generally move through childhood believing what we are told by our parents because, after all, why would we not believe them? Where did I come from? Who is my family? Who are my ‘real’ parents? Didn’t they love me? 8217;” ...

Life's Transitions: January 2007
http://lifestransitions.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 11, 2007. We humans tend to be an impatient lot, don't we? We want God's support, and we often pray for His guidance in a decision, but . . . too many times we want the answer we want, and we would certainly like to have it NOW! Seems to me that we are pretty lowly creatures to be going up against God! Well God, this is what I need and this is how I want it to be worked out, and by the way, I'd like to have that as soon as possible! He has never once steered me in the wrong direction!

Monday, September 24, 2007. Life Is Meant to Be Lived. Life Is Meant to Be Lived. Life is to be lived. No excuses. No reservations. No holding back. An enchangint story about violinist Fritz Kreisler tells how he once. Came acrss a beautiful instrument he wanted to acquire. When he. Finally raised the money for the violin, he returned to buy it and. Learned that it had already been sold to a collector. He went to the new owner's home in order to try to persuade him to. Than die not having done whatever I...
