Good morning...
Thanks for the get well wishes. Feeling somewhat better today.

With my youngest child now a teenager, I had her on my mind early this morning....
For a Mother, time is abstract. More like a force of nature. There is only one thing I can compare it to. On the sands of beautiful Miami Beach when I was small, I took my father's hand as we walked barefoot onto the ocean's foamy edge. The waves slapped the shore in an angry break and the undertow was furious and fast; leaving broken shells and seaweed in it's wake. As another huge wave rushed up, I dug in my heels and braced for the wall of water. Breaking lose from my dad, I was pulled by some unseen force down the shore, and left face down in sand gasping for air. Choking as salty water filled my eyes and mouth, I tried to pull myself up without another wave overtaking me. I was surprised to now see our umbrella and blankets so far down the shore.

Such is time for a Mother. You dig in your heels, and brace yourself, for space and time are too soon far down the shore.

There are just not enough minutes in the day. Thanks for giving me a couple of yours.

It wasn't long after 9/11, September 11, 2001, that I began this website. I felt compelled to connect with other people around the globe. I had recently heard about "weblogs" or "blogs" and I dove right into Blogger.com. I searched for others to connect with online and I found Ageless. It led to meeting many great friends to discuss events of the day. From then on it snowballed. Most importantly we offered one another support and friendship across the globe; finding that we were just a few keystrokes away.
