Advice from a Tree

Stand tall and proud.
Sink your roots into the earth.
Be content with your natural beauty.
Go out on a limb.
Drink plenty of water.
Remember your roots.
Enjoy the view!

One Gift

Image
                                                                          Is there that one special gift you received that stood out as extra-memorable and best over all the rest? One Christmas I was gifted a photo album overflowing with personal family photos that I had never previously seen. This one gift gave me hours of enjoyment pouring over each and every picture. This gift was among hundreds - maybe thousands - of gifts I have received over my long life. Who knows the exact number? Too crazy to count. Don't pre-judge. I'll risk putting it out there revealing I'm an only child. My being the targeted recipient of gifts in my family could get down right embarrassing. My Aunt Carol would pull up to my house at Christmas or birthday time. She would pop open the trunk of her Cadillac to reveal a trunk l...

Hi! I'm new around here!

                                                                                                     I feel like an outsider quite often. How about you?  I felt comfortable in my previous community and then I went off and moved to a new community. It was my own choice, of course, so I must bear the consequences. It's not easy to start over with anything. Finding new neighborhood friends, new church friends or new pickleball playmates can bring an extra dose of challenging. This growth step was tough as a child. It's still tough as an adult. We have to be vulnerable as we never outgrow the timeless question, "Will you play with me?!"  How 'bout when we take it a personal step further - "Do you like me? Check Yes or No!"  W...
