Twilightme: September 2013
http://twilightme.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 2, 2013. There was a puff of smoke in the sky to the south, clearly a fire, something our eyes are alert to in the foothills all summer. We watched a pyrocumulus cloud form on the horizon- beautiful but not benign. The cloud flattened and roiled. Helicopters, air tankers, and fire engines roared into the county. Thus commenced the Rim Fire Days. Cindy made cookies, and we took them to an elementary school where firemen were bivouacked. We walked out Plainview Road to the point and w...

Twilightme: June 2012
http://twilightme.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 6, 2012. Two grandsons and a niece graduate from high school this week. All week, I've been trying to come up with some kind of wisdom to posit with these young people. Graduating high school is really a big thing, but the truth is that from my vantage point at 64, all I can see is that they are babes with only vague ideas about what they want to do next. Those were the lessons that are full of life! And celebrate this landmark accomplishment. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Twilightme: July 2011
http://twilightme.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 30, 2011. Do you ever have those days when the unexpected seems to transform your point of view? I had one of those days yesterday. It started at Masters Swim practice when there was a substitute coach at the workout time I usually attend. Her style was totally different from the usual coach. In addition to the workout instructions, she gave very specific techniques to practice. WOW! It felt like the two techniques she suggested transformed my work out- making it more aerobic and powerful.

Twilightme: March 2013
http://twilightme.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 20, 2013. When I was six years old, my family moved into a flat on California Street in San Francisco in a building that my dad and his brother had renovated. We lived upstairs in the 3 bedroom flat with a big back porch and a great yard that had one tree with a tree house. In time, my dad built gates into the 3 neighboring backyards where our friends lived and our playing space expanded exponentially. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Twilightme: December 2012
http://twilightme.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 29, 2012. Technology: The Savior- Sort Of. The Dixon family was terribly disappointed to learn that neither Kenny nor Rex would make it home for Christmas this year. Kenny is a student at Columbia University who couldn't afford the plane fare and Rex was scheduled to work with his Staten Island Coast Guard crew. Christmas would not be the same without these guys. With Facetime we could bring them home- sort of! Holiday celebrations put the focus on family, and this year, the wonders of...

Twilightme: Family Daze
http://twilightme.blogspot.com/2013/02/family-daze.html
Sunday, February 3, 2013. Without actually thinking about, we were doing what the priest recommended. We were grateful to be healthy and have the strength needed to help. We were willing, which was definitely an affirming attitude. And I'm pretty sure we were kind in everything we did. We love our HUGE family even when dazed with blue moments- for we see the tenderness there and know the blessing. Once again, a wonderful blog entry! February 3, 2013 at 10:38 PM.

Twilightme: October 2014
http://twilightme.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 20, 2014. Or was she simply one of those extremely forgiving and, dare I say,. 1 I needed an affirmation. Kindness became my word for 2014. 2 I needed a coach, so I bought and read Guerrilla Kindness. By Gavin Whitsett. I used a highlighter and post-its to mark the suggestions that stood out—many that had never occurred to me and some that I wanted to beef up in my life. 4 Whitsett recommends marking 20% of the Kindnesses that you think will be easy to implement, so I did that too.
