Mourning Takes on a New Shape
As I move through the journey of my own grief, I have observed that a culture shift has occurred in what is expected of mourners. In years gone by, mourning was something of a rite of passage and definitely a formal outward acknowledgment of the loss of a loved one. In Victorian times, black crepe hung around front doors of grieving families. Gentlemen sported black … [Read more...] about Mourning Takes on a New Shape
Family Time and Simple Pleasures: The Good Life That Used to Be
At age 85 as the youngest of eight, I can look back and see many changes in the family structure, some good and some not so good.

The Second Question
Can a social conversation have a positive impact on how fulfilling your life is? I contend that it can, and I’m convinced the magnitude of the impact is in large part driven by whether or not you and your conversation partner are asking the “second question.” Over the past six weeks, I’ve had more than my usual opportunity to engage in conversation. My wife and I … [Read more...] about The Second Question
Reaching The ‘It Doesn’t Matter’ Point
Most of us have had situations in our lives that bothered us for years and suddenly we just don’t care about the end results. This new attitude is such a freeing place to be! What was important to us for a long time is now not important at all. This might involve those you considered friends, or even worse, members of your family.
