“There are many wonders to see if we just look for them.” Admin The gray sky outside my kitchen window matched how I felt inside. Hopeless. I sighed and turned away. Life had lost all meaning. Nearly a year earlier, on a sunny Fourth of July day, I drove to a nearby lake to celebrate with friends and family. It was my birthday. After a long workweek, I was looking forward to our picnic. And I couldn’t wait to get in the water. I loved to swim. “Here I go,” I shouted, laughing, as I dove headfirst

”I’ll be back in a couple hours,” Dad said as the screen door slammed shut that late afternoon. Two hours, I told myself. You can do this. I took a long, deep breath and turned to face Mom. Through her cataracts, at least, she couldn’t see the worry in my face. Keeping Mom’s anxiety at bay while she struggled with Alzheimer’s could be next to impossible. If she had an episode, I didn’t know if I could handle it alone, especially at the end of the day. Read More: She Feared Being Alone with Her Mom with Alzheimer’s

We watched Rosalie try to find her balance. As soon as we put her on her feet, she would flip onto her back. “Something’s definitely off,” I said. “But I’m going to figure out how to help her.” Rosalie’s breeder thought the kindest thing would be euthanasia. No way, I thought. This eager puppy,

I live near Omaha, in southeastern Nebraska. If I ran to the basement every time I heard a tornado siren go off, I’d never get anything done. So when a siren wailed one Friday in June, just two days before Father’s Day, I didn’t pay it much mind. I wanted to get my dusting done before settling down for the day. Besides, it wasn’t even raining, with barely a cloud in the early-evening sky. Maybe they’re testing the system, I thought. They do that a lot around here. Asher, our 12-year-old grandson who lived with us, winced at the

06/16/21 “What a great idea! What if we did this once a month or week, think what a positive impact we could have.” Admin My mom always made birthdays special. She died of cancer when I was 32. After that, I dreaded my birthday because she wasn’t here to celebrate with me. As I approached 40, I decided that I wanted to have joyful birthdays again. A friend told me that she’d read about someone who spent their birthday doing random acts of kindness. My mom would have loved that. Why not give it a try? I thought.

Lauderdale or Miami for the offshore run to St. Thomas. That was the plan, but
