    Robin commented on the post, rocker 1 week ago

    when I nursed each baby, I sat in a wooden rocker from my friend who had no children.
    I sang and crooned to them at all hours wishing for a great morning and a great future.
    I haven’t seen my friends in a decade or so.

    I have had two surgeries on my right shoulder in the past few months.
    No, I’m not a famous athlete just a klutzy person but I’m determined to put these setbacks behind me and move on to become physically fit. I have a good attitude and
    much support from family and friends.

    Robin commented on the post, taboo 1 week, 2 days ago

    The last taboo is money. Families won’t even talk about it.
    Parents and children don’t even discuss money. And we really should.
    Because money is a means to an end. Not an end in itself. Start talking folks.

    Robin commented on the post, celestial 1 week, 4 days ago

    Out here in the suburbs, I have my celestial moments, coming home from
    teaching at night with only the streetlights and a yellow-lit window, I can see a
    smattering of stars, maybe planets. I stand still and look up, the vast dark sky
    casts a blanket over me with its twinkling sparks.

    My sister used to weave on a loom.
    She carried around the loom on the college campus.
    It made her into an artisan and I was proud of her.
    I can’t remember exactly what she wove on is.

    Emerson said Simplify, simplify. That’s good advice for us today. Break down tasks into small
    Parts nothing too complex. move from point A to point B. Then you can be happy.

    I never acquired a taste for beer but I used to sip it at parties to appear sociable.
    And it moved me to dance and have a good time.

    Every person comes with her own stories, even if she herself cannot see this.
    All efforts at communication are an attempt to delve deeper into the stories of others
    for by listening and understanding, we learn about ourselves.

    My father always told me about the joys of European cafe life.
    How you could order one cup of coffee, read your paper and sit all day
    watching the people.
