Intimacy is Like Air
I have had times in my life when I was alone. Not for long. I do not like being alone and yet, I crave alone time. Years ago I had a therapist tell me that I was, am, an intimacy addict. I love alone time. I like peace and quiet. I read a lot. I…

Two Hands
I never realized as a right handed person, how much I do with my left hand. Adjusting to using one hand is difficult. Then I thought about people, like injured veterans who lost limbs or were damaged in some other way and my small carpal tunnel injury pales in significance. We use our hands for…

Change is a Process
My husband, Brendan O’Gara posted on Facebook, “This, this is your life. By changing nothing, nothing changes. If you want to see a change in your life, your have to make the first change.

As I Lay Sleeping…
As you read this I am sleeping. I am getting my hand fixed. It’s a common thing. People like me who work with their hands wear them out. I have put this off a bit longer than I should have, but that’s normal for me. I have put my health on the bottom of my…

Things Happen
As life goes I have a good one, but as normal life goes unexpected things happen. Hence, the reason I am late with my post today. I am proud of myself, I didn’t freak out when I didn’t get to post on time. I was calm on the outside and screaming inside. I used to…

Helping Hands
I am a bit nervous about my carpal tunnel surgery on Friday. I know it is a simple procedure, but hey, I only have two hands. I should not to miss a day of publishing the Thought of the Day. I hired a transcriptionist to do the typing. This should be fun. I don’t consider…

Don’t Argue over the Small Stuff
Why is it that most of the arguments in a home between family are started over small insignificant things? Things like whose turn to clean something, why did that person do the thing, or why did they not do the other thing. When you feel the tingle of that urge to criticise a family member…

It’s Friday
We have been conditioned from an early age that Friday starts the weekend. Weekends are for freedom. Work weeks are Monday through Friday. When someone says I have a different work schedule and my Monday is a Thursday, the weirdness of their week seems unnatural to us. What would happen if we had no boundaries…
