 Changing Lanes  Changing Lanes.  No big deal.  We've all done it or admittedly at least seen it.  Not neessarily changing directions.  Just a lane change.  To avoid an upcoming situation.   A detour perhaps.  All types of obstacles come to mind and many of them don't even qualify as an obstacle....

On Uncertainty  The fastest way to break the cycle of perfectionism and become a fearless mother is to give up the idea of doing it perfectly - indeed to embrace uncertainty and imperfection.--Arianna Huffington   On Uncertainty.  I ponder.  It may be the ideal pondering activity.  Unlike Ms. Huf...

  At Eternity's Gate     At Eternity's Gate    A Movie.  Not a review but more of a "look".  And "look" may be the most appropriate word.  Written and directed by Julian Schnabel, the movie is visually appealing as you might imagine a film by the artist Schabel might be.   Vincent Van Gogh as the...

 Far From Tidy  Far From Tidy. Littering is not a good sign in my opinion.  Definitely not a good sign.  Recently I came across an advertisement from a home cleaning service.  Not the right message.    Recently, the single post card-sized "help available" ad was tossed on some lawns.

 It Is Okay To Quit     It is okay to quit.  What? Never quit. We have heard it often.  But is it correct?  Whether it's a job.  A class.  A relationship.  A bad habit.   Is it ever a good idea or a good plan to quit?

  In An Instant   Yes, it happens. It has happened in the past.  Likely in the future too.  Anecdotal evidence says it can be anywhere.  And be anytime. You know of an example or two and maybe even three or more.  Of course, you do.  Without warning.  And just like that too. A moment.  That momen...

Carefully.  It's really there.  Absent the daily distractions.  Everyday life.  Vehicles driving by.  Even the hybrids and the alternate fuel models have a sound.  The weather may seem still.  But that can change in a minute.
