		<title>Sounds of September</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s almost September and children across our state are getting ready to go back to school. Teachers prepare for their classes and parents rush to super stores looking for the best deals on notebooks, pencils, and calculators. But there is a select group of students who have already been hard at work, readying themselves for [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Silent Killer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google the words Silent Killer and the website that pops up first says: Many diseases are silent killers in that they are silent (no symptoms or only vague symptoms), and that they are deadly. There are a number of diseases that are known as &#8220;silent killers&#8221; because they gradually consume you without causing any serious [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Stepmom to Grandmom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I became a grandmother last week when my stepdaughter gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Including having my own children, it was one of the happiest days of my life. I think about my granddaughter all the time and can’t wait for the next time I see her.  It’s been 48 hours and I’m [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s not just about home repairs either&#8230;or most anything else</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In a shameless attempt to borrow from the recent post &#8220;It&#8217;s not just about food,&#8221; I share the following post about home repairs: Last Monday evening, my neighbor across the street asked to borrow my extension ladder so he could fix some facia (the trim board on the edge of a house) that had rotted [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Change of Plans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Does your life go just the way you had it planned? Mine sure doesn&#8217;t. The question is, how do you respond when your plans change? Or maybe better said, how do you respond when your plans get changed? I recently returned from a 20-day vacation to the American West with my wife and 3 adult [...]]]></description>

		<title>It’s not just about the food</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We went to a dinner party recently (who says “dinner party” anymore?!) I don’t know what else to call it. It was a party and they served us food at dinner time. It just sounds so 1950-60-ish.   Anyway, have you seen the movie, Julie and Julia?  It’s about Julia Childs and a young writer [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marital Abuse&#8230;When it&#8217;s all about them.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been away from Internet access for a few weeks so I didn’t have a chance to weigh in on the recent posts discussing the issue of abuse in marriage. This post contains some of what nearly 20 years of counseling experience has taught me about the serious issue of marital abuse. It’s a bit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heal, heels</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just came back from the physical therapist with my husband who broke both of his heels in May. It was a difficult thing to watch:  the therapist moving my husband’s ankles, heels, and toes and seeing my husband wince in pain.  A lot of pain. The therapist explained that it’s necessary to massage his feet [...]]]></description>

		<title>My sister Eileen</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All I can think about today is my sister. She left early this morning for her trip back home to North Carolina.  And I miss her terribly. You see, except for the college years, we’ve either lived together, or lived near each other.  We know all there is to know about each other, together, finding [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trying too hard to stop an addiction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok&#8230;I&#8217;m posting without a photo. It will be clear why in a second. Here it goes&#8230;An Old Testament proverb says, “As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his foolishness” (Proverbs 26:11).  Rather than post a photo of that image, let me say, “Woof, woof.” More times than I wish, I feast on my own [...]]]></description>
