Monday Musings: Mental Health and My Complacency — A #HoldOnToTheLight Post

Monday Musings: A Tree and a Post — It’s Not About What You Think It Is, Or Is It?
This post probably isn’t about what you think it is. Nancy and I are nearing the end of what has been an exhausting and at times terribly difficult year. I won’t catalogue our burdens because they are, frankly, no worse … Continue reading

Monday Musings: So Many Of Us Just Coping — A #HoldOnToTheLight Post
So, I don’t know where this post is going. I feel it’s important to make that clear up front. And I also want to say that, all things considered, I am doing pretty well right now. Our older daughter’s health … Continue reading

Monday Musings: The Things We Care About, a #HoldOntoTheLight Post
I honestly don’t know where this post is going, and so please bear with me as I work through my tangled thoughts. I am struck today — as I ponder a life that is both fraught and wonderful, complicated and … Continue reading

Beyond the Dark Place: A #HoldOnToTheLight Post
