Since I've shared the part of my weekend when I did do things myself, I believe it is only fair to also share the days since then when I've been very much accompanied. Monday I went to see my ENT. I wasn't alone. My doctor pretty much did what I expected - an in office … Continue reading Not doing it myself

The earthiness of love
It must have been the unfortunate choice of Pandora station - U2's Running to Stand Still, that prompted my run to be filled with thoughts of love.

Broken fragments and glue
"I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken, and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken pieces as long as I … Continue reading Broken fragments and glue
