For My Kids.

My Dear Children: There are no words I can say that will make any of this better, make sense of it, or make you forget what has happened.  My heart aches for you in ways I hope you never have to feel for people you love.  But, I know you do.  And in times like these, I tend to seek out words from others that may help me cope with whatever I feel.  These are a few of my favorites.  Perhaps, this week, if you are feeling up to it, you can post some of your favorites, or even some of your own. This space is for whatever you need.  I am always around, never far that I won't hear if you call.  For now, though, read on and I hope you find some small measure of comfort, at least for a few minutes. Love always, Bunj Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am in a thousand winds that blow, I am the softly falling snow. I am the gentle showers of rain, I am the fields of ripening grain. I am in the morning hush, ...

10 things

Every once in a while, I like to "take stock" of who I am, and whether or not my actions and ambitions are remaining true to whoever that is. I have many days where I just feel "off" and reflecting on what I am doing helps.  And when this happens, in order to get myself  back on track, I make a list.  The "lists" always have a title--"10 things I've always wanted to do but couldn't afford," or "10 things I love about Oak," etc. It helps.  Every time, it always helps. So, in the spirit of that, let's give it a try. Your 10 things category is: Ten Things I (meaning you, not me) Know to Be True.  (yes, this is a pre-write of sorts for your THIS I BELIEVE essay)
