Balance: Bio. Psycho, Social and Spiritual
copyright Emalou King
How do you do it all? It's hard work being a parent.
If you feel out of balance, my suggestions is
to determine which piece of the pie is missing.
It's usually the last one...the Spiritual piece but...
It's simple to get it back. Say "Thank You, God"
Over and over and over.

IRENE: We'd Like to Say Good Night
In earlier generations people counted their pennies.
In this generation people count time, maybe they even
squander time, misuse opportunities, lose perspective
and resist growth. But IRENE seems to stop us long enough to think differently.
This available air space can be the breathing space to put everything back into perspective like what's really important. And we know...it's each other. Praying for east coast safety.

Hearts: What Will Touch Yours Today?
My heart has already been touched today.
An email from an old friend who remembered...
Another, a phone call announcing a birth.
It's a nice way to start out a day...feeling loved.
And that's something to pass on.

Gilda Radner: RIP and Memories of Laughter

While we have the gift of life, it seems to me that the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die- whether it is our spirit, our creativity, or our glorious uniqueness.Gilda Radner (1946-1989)

The lovely girl who poured my Earl Grey said,

Stay Tuned: An Annual Reminder
When Summer’s Gone
Emalou King
He wears insulated gloves in the morning
Scrapes the frosted windshield of his car
Slides shivering across the cracked Leather seat
Then he pulls a woolen beanie down over his ears
Shaggy remnants of hair hang to his shoulders
Gray wisps like spiders frame his strong face
The chunk of metal sputters stalls once
Groans rise from the engine as dash lights flicker
He mutters Oh please God...not again, not today
He inches her down the icy driveway
Fitting perfectly into yesterday’s grooves
Pumps the brakes taps the gas pedal
At the drive through coffee shack
The steaming cup of jo slips, spills and soaks his pants
And... he longs for the damn hot days of summer

Lies spun like a web make you
believe what is happening is "normal."
Tell someone when you realize it's not.
It's not your fault. It's not your fault.
