Behind the Scenes

Friends Most of us, if not all, have friends. There are many kinds of friends and we need all kinds. Some we party with, with others we may share our deepest secrets. There are those who call and check on us if they have not heard from us in a while. Some help us fix […]

Pat

Blessed with Pats One day my daughter said to me, “Mom you have so many friends named Pat!” And I realized she was right. I truly do have a lot of friends both present and past named Pat and each has been a blessing.  My first Pat was a cousin born six weeks before me […]

THE Binder

Several years ago I worked for a Fortune 500 company that had a binder for everything. I must have caught “binderitis” during my eighteen years there. I have binders all over the house.

Way Back

Do You Remember? Way back when  . . .  Milk was delivered to your door before daylight in a glass recyclable bottle? Books of matches were free and had advertising written on them?   You went to the “show” (movie) and sat in the balcony? Telephone poles had insulators like these?  Most women were married […]

I’ve often been accused of thinking and talking too much about death. I do contemplate the subject and read and talk about it quite a bit, but I want to declare that I am not morbid. Death is inevitable for each of us, so why not acknowledge that and get on with laughing, loving and […]

On the Day I Die

A poem written by John Pavolitz On the Day I Die On the day I die a lot will happen. A lot will change. The world will be busy. On the day I die, all the important appointments I made will be left unattended. The many plans I had yet to complete will remain forever undone. The calendar that ruled so many of […]

CPR in the Hospital

CPR Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) can be life-saving especially when performed in a hospital with all the talent, knowledge and equipment that is available. It has become routine for patients to be asked on admission to the hospital some form of the following question: “Do you want emergency measures to be performed if your heart stops?”  […]

CPR in the Field

CPR Everyone knows what CPR means. It means saving a life with certain breathing techniques and chest compressions when one’s heart has stopped beating. Right? Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation literally means heart lung revival. That puts it in a slightly different light but still sounds promising. We’ve all seen it work over and over again on […]
