12 27 13 We walk this path together
“In every conceivable way, family is link to the past, and bridge to the future” – Alex Haley. First – a disclaimer: I am struggling to write this morning on my new device (I suppose you could call it an early Christmas gift), an i-pad. And though it is wonderful for addictions such as facebook, […]
FMM 12 20 13 That old time feeling
“My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?” ~Bob Hope Time is flying. We seem to notice this in December more than any other month, as Christmas is upon us (already?) and the year […]

FMM 11 22 13 Making the Connection
“And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee….” ~ John Donne Today is the 50th anniversary of the death of John F. Kennedy. To be honest, I don’t remember his death, even though I was old enough at the time. For me and my family, that was around […]
FMM 11 15 13 Look, Listen and Learn
“Every person that you meet knows something you don’t; learn from them.” ~ H. Jackson Brown Jr. Last weekend I went on a road trip. The journey was relatively short yet in less than two hours I was transported to another world. Along with a group of nursing students, I was participating in a health fair […]
FMM 11 8 13 Point of View
“What we see depends mainly on what we look for.” ~ John Lubbock. Have you ever wondered what makes some people able to be happy all the time, despite having to deal with significant challenges? I have often been in awe of those who are able to see the bright side, no matter what life throws […]
