Dearest 2024: as you are drawing to a close it would be ungracious of me not to let you know how keenly aware I am of your desperate attempts to turn things around these past twelve months. The joy was so close, but there was a whole lot of drama-la. Now it’ll be in the […]

I am sounding off. Now, I must preface this little rant by letting it be known that I thoroughly enjoy engaging in a back-and-forth tête-à-tête, a lively gabfest, or even a friendly discourse. My auditory range is quite all-embracing. MOSTLY. F’rinstance – music. I am all ears, feeling it resonate down to my bones. I

Squished on the couch, semi-fetal, covered eyes peeking through fingers, lying in wait for the next thing to scare the bejesus out of us – that’s us. It’s in the genes. At least on one side of the family. Psychological or paranormal …. I just looove me a scary movie. If it’s a thriller, chiller
Doctors tell you the darnedest things. When all we really want to hear is normal, negative, harmless, innocuous, benign and no biggie. Recently my endocrinologist laid a BIIG one on me and though it had nothing to do with my thyroid she felt it worth mentioning. If memory serves, I had just been making small

My annual repost and update for Passover: What could be better than my beloved family (my mishpocheh) gathered ‘round, raising our glasses (again and again and again and yet AGAIN) while re-telling the story of the Exodus from Egypt? The miraculous journey from slavery to freedom. What rich memories I have of a whole bunch

What’s up with new year resolutions? Are they supposed to be aspirational or commitments we secretly know will be broken? I avoid them like the plague. Although I avoid the plague with a great deal more oomph. And I am certainly not commitment phobic, give me a break, I’ve been married for 45 years. Despite

I recently read a study claiming learning new things can make older adults’ brains 30 years younger in just 6 weeks… isn’t that fantastic? It encourages us ‘olders’ to be like sponges and urges us to give new escapades a whirl; particularly when the bar is set high. I like the idea of new adventures.
I am a GREAT sleeper. I can sleep through all versions of booms, crashes and thunders. And I can sleep just about ANYWHERE. This is not an admittance in any way that I ‘sleep around’… mind out of the gutter people. It’s that I can do so anywhere. Your uncomfortable chair no one ever sits on? Let

Buh-bye 2022. Hello gorgeous! THAT’S YOU 2023. Are you listening? I know you are oft depicted as a naked baby with a beauty queen sash, but please tell me you are a Mozart listening babe, able to read at a doctoral level and can brilliantly intuit the good guys from the bad. Are you a

It’s National Breast Cancer Awareness Month! I’ve been aware of breasts ever since I eyeballed those beauties in my cousins’ Playboy magazines. Fascinating and mystifying to young me…. when are they arriving? Lively and full of pep when they eventually made their first appearance. Frolicsome and spirited upon full arrival. Gently sloping, wiggly, jiggly and
