Ahead of My Time
It’s not that unusual to lose track of the time when faced with a full schedule. I’m rarely late for appointments, something I value in other people too. Given a choice, it’s better to lose track of the time when having fun. This week, however, I lost track of multiple appointments over a couple of days – […]
Searching for a Safe Place – But Where Exactly is That?
February 27, 2013
I start this posting on an uncharacteristicly serious note. It is because my father was lost to Alzheimer’s disease for over a decade before his passing in 1998, that I intentionally spend some part of each day focused on mental exercises. As a result, the “use it or lose it” philosophy has been drilled into my subconscious. […]
Shedding Layers is the Best Prescription for Winter Blahs
January 7, 2013
Rum swizzles and SAD light be damned, this January I’m talking’ about Mai Tai’s and fresh pineapple!

At the risk of falling behind with the modern jargon that filters its way to me, I have found that far […]

You stare at a blank computer screen expecting it to begin a conversation and all you get in return is a periodic reminder that software updates are now available – not flash bulletins that your favourite shoe […]
My Gardening Angel
February 2, 2012
Call it rustic. In fact, the chair looks pretty beat up, decrepit, with the majority of its paint stripped and peeling from the back spindles and seat. From its back’s frame is hung a painted angel with the lettering “Garden Angel” above the wooden cutout. I gave the little sign to my mother over a […]
Occupy the Bistro Movement
November 25, 2011
With “Occupy” protests and movements being all in the news, it caused me to reflect on my part of an ongoing “movement” – something I will call the “Occupy the Bistro 50Plus Movement”. It actually has been gaining momentum over a few years, with more and more senior gals joining our ranks over coffee and/or luncheons […]
