I was most inter­est­ed to read recent­ly about a study on the val­ue of exer­cise and pos­si­ble increas­es in brain­pow­er. That’s real­ly a ‘duh’ moment!  Not just because of the brain­pow­er issue but because exer­cise seems to be the first line of defense for near­ly every con­di­tion imag­in­able.  Even para­plegics ben­e­fit from exer­cise.  Obvi­ous­ly anyone […]

Feb 22nd, 2007 – 4:00 pm

As I con­tem­plate on life’s lessons I recall that day in mid-August 1999 when my sons and I brought my hus­band, M, home from the nurs­ing home to which he’d been con­signed for reha­bil­i­ta­tion fol­low­ing a long hos­pi­tal stay. […]

This blog has been in the works for over 3 years. Final­ly I am encour­aged to take the advice to make this big step, tak­en from the first quote I put in my book notes near­ly 10 years ago: “Be Bold and Mighty Forces will Come to Your Aid” Goethe I now have a blog name, […]
