Why Do Some People Wander?
I’m pretty sure every town has one or has had one at one time or another. I’m talking about the person I call the “Wanderer.” This is someone who just wanders — all day it seems. We have a person in my neighborhood who just seems to wander. You could say she just goes for…

Frustrations With “Streaming”
Does anyone else have a problem with this whole “streaming” thing? I know, I can hear my kids saying, “Here we go! Old people problems!” I’ve lost count as to how many streaming services there are. We currently use about six of them and, truth be told, we share just about all of them with…

Appreciation For The Four Seasons
I was walking the dog this week in the light snow we had Wednesday morning. I had on my winter coat, hat and gloves and Charlie was in his winter coat. Suddenly I had a flashback to just a few months ago. It was only four or five months ago that we would only go…

Move On From The Past
Our thought this week comes from Robin Sharma who once said: “Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future.” Again it’s another one that I can relate to. I’ve had my times when I was living in the past. Yearning for the way things used to be. However I think…
