“Thank You”. Can it really be that easy?
So my birthday was yesterday and I received many well wishes from friends, from family, through social media, and even from some businesses I didn't even know existed. I ended up saying thank you, or writing thank you more than I have in a long time. And this morning,...
Getting My Butt Kicked.
What is going on with my vibration??? That is the question I asked myself yesterday morning. And with good reason. Do you remember last week I shared with you some of the health challenges that I have to prepare for. Well, on Friday, at the dentist's office, I had to...
Simple as ABC…
Remember learning your ABC's? How hard they seemed and how simple they became. And how once you learned them, the world opened up. I wasn't the best student, but I had a great big brother and sister, and they helped me by making up little games so I could remember...
Shawshank
So I've been hanging with my mother at an assisted living facility in Providence, RI. Being here, it's impossible not to bear witness to the inescapability of aging, illness and death. The place is beautiful, it's very comfortable, it's warm and it's friendly. It's...
Yikes! Embracing Challenges.
Biopsies, catheters and pain... words you never want to hear. How quickly things can change as I'm riding the emotional roller coaster. At my annual physical on Monday, my "numbers" were so great that my doctor was asking me all about Be Your Own Wingman. Tuesday, new...
A Living, Loving Memorial.
With our house-sit in Amherst, MA. now finished, Jan and I are back in Southern NJ for a few days. With this pause in our nomadic adventures, we're fortunate to have some friends who have generously allowed us to "hang our hats". It's been a week for memories as Jan...
View from the Wing, Breakfast with Dad.
This is a post from Janet... Many, many moons ago, I was a teacher and director at a small synagogue pre-school. It was a sweet little school, across the street from a small farm and up the road from a garden center that sold pumpkins and apples in the fall. Every...
“Today, I choose to see what’s going right”
The other day, I was listening to something from Deepak Chopra. He mentioned focusing on seeing what is going right as you go about your day. I thought it would make a wonderful one minute practice. So I took a "wingman minute", and repeated it to myself....

The Brimfield Flea Market
I'm expecting to have a fun day today. Jan and I are heading to Brimfield, Mass. for their annual Brimfield Flea market.. It's been described as the ultimate antique treasure hunt and 3 ring circus. It's not even that we're looking to purchase anything. It's just that...
Our Community is Hurting.
Our community is hurting. How can it not be? With so much violence and so many innocent victims... In just the last month we've seen unimaginable violence in Dallas, Baton Rouge, Minnesota and Orlando. And that's just in America. World wide, terrorism has claimed...
Love this, howyadoin?
Love this, howyadoin? Thought you might also. I've actually turned it into a practice. When I wake up, I watch this and say, "It's my life, I'm going to live it my way". You can too. It's your life, live it your way. You've got this. Btw... Jan and I are house-sitting...
