About Me

When I retired, I promised myself that, having so much free time available,  I would begin a blog–a blog filled with essays that were serious, funny, meaningful, spiritual…simply whatever I wanted to write about on any given day.  I had, as a young woman, longed to be a newspaper columnist; well, that dream was never fulfilled…until now.   I have loved writing since I first held a big  wooden pencil over that terrible, cheap lined paper in first grade–you know, the kind of paper that’s so awful it actually has chips of wood in it!  It’s my sincere hope that something I write–some word, some thought–might mean something to another person: lift a spirit, cause a smile or a laugh, or simply cause someone to think: to consider an idea that had never before struck them.
