Life is good. Through the ups and downs, it remains consistently a learning experience.

I just spoke to Joyce and Mom. They are both doing pretty well. What a relief!

Next week the final wires will be removed from Willem's jaw. Then the task will be to put some weight back on him. He lost the ten pounds that I need to lose.

Oh, I also got word from my son Matthew that I am going to be a grandma again. This will be his first child, due in March of 2009. Hooray!

This morning I got a call that my sister Joyce's husband passed on during the wee hours of the day. He had been ill for an extended amount of time. Hersch was a good man. He was 56 years old.

Inspiring story by and of a physically active young man who became paralyzed and how he is now very much alive and enjoying life.

sometimes my words cannot express my feelings.
my silence does not mean that i am empty, void of feelings.
it means that my feelings are more than mere words.
hear the silence.

From the page:
"To live with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable and wealthy not rich;
to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly,
to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages with an open heart;
to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never.
In a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common.
This is my symphony."

What a way to look at living!

This is an amazing statement of prose reading by a young Bronx woman who is Palestinian. Tremendous message here.

I don't make many political statements but I do have one which I would like to share. Not really debatable for me. Just stating my opinion here.

I believe that if John McCain and Sarah Palin get elected then it will be like four more years of GW Bush, complete with Dick Cheney... in drag.
Possibly with PMS. Hey, I am not making fun of Palin being a woman. I am being sympathetic and realistic. The potential is there.

That is my opinion.

I was out and about today and saw a very creative sign announcing a yard sale. It said, "Many items cost less than $700 billion."
