Day 277: Very Unique
My son and I, who are both a little snobby about grammar, often bemoan the use of the term “very unique.” We say, “Unique means one of a kind! How can something be very one of a kind?” And we sneer a little bit, verbally and facially. (That’s how grammar snobs are.) So why did […]
Day 1413: ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW about the title of today’s post is right here: ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW about that photo includes the fact that I took it last night at Target. At times in my life, I’ve thought to myself, “That’s ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW.” Soon, though, I knew […]
Day 906: Everything is an opportunity
Everything is an opportunity is one of my beliefs about life. I don’t always feel that way, especially when everything is an excruciating pain but, even then, I’ll come around to the belief that everything is an opportunity sooner than later.

Day 786: High Anxiety
I’m having a little high anxiety writing this post this morning, because I don’t want to be late for the second day of my group psychotherapy conference.

Yesterday, in beautiful, non-New-England-ish* Southern California, my son and I had fun in the sun and mild weather while we were waiting for Ron Lynch to get back to us. If you don’t know who Ron Lynch is, let me get back to you about that, right now. Getting back to my 20’s, Ron Lynch […]
Day 774: What’s the right thing to do?
“What’s the right thing to do?” is a question I can ask myself, quite frequently. Lately, I’ve been asking myself that question about: Preparing for a trip to California, starting tomorrow. Preparing for tax day, April 15. Preparing for my high school’s 45th reunion, some time in 2015. Preparing for the rest of my life. […]
Day 770: Am I blue?
Am I blue? I have some reasons to be blue, this morning: More white-and-sometimes-blue snow is piling up around here, in Boston USA. Mary — whom I was looking forward to seeing, after her return from a two-week vacation — won’t be coming in today to the hospital where we work together. I’m going to be the […]
Day 769: Wait!
Wait! Guess how many blog posts I’ve written with the title “Wait” over the last two years! I’ll wait while you think of a number, between zero and seven hundred and sixty-eight. Hmmmmm. I’m not sure how you feel about guessing games. Are you OK? And what number did you come up with? Do you want […]
