Today I reflect on this past year…a year of tremendous challenge. One would think I’d be glad to see it go, be rid of it…move on. I could dwell on the challenges and adversities. I could dwell in misery if I choose and I’d certainly be entitled to that, but I choose to see the [...]

The Holidays
Posted in Family, Living, Love, Mid Life, Mother and Daughter, Mother and Son, Motherhood on December 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
What is it about the holidays that bring so much expectation? What is it about the holidays that brings sorrow? For me, the holidays bring memories…some sweet and some very painful.

My first Adirondack Christmas!

The sounds of silence here in the Adirondack forest are amazing…sounds I’ve never listened to before. A light breeze rattles the brown dry leaves that remain on beech trees and hobblebush.

I am officially a full-time resident of the beautiful Adirondacks and winter is upon us. My first initiation to the unpredictable Adirondack weather was Friday night.

Healing comes in many forms and in different ways. The lengthy divorce settlement has presented great difficulty. After years of being divorced the final settlement is nowhere in sight. The challenges are still there…no matter what I do to move through them, face them, deal with them…they remain. I keep wondering, “what is it I’m not getting? I [...]
