…I would rise with the sun every morning and walk along the beach…I would spend every spare minute during the day searching for unique seashells, capturing images of the birds, the dunes, the grasses, the waves on my camera, feeling the sun kiss my shoulders, and cooling off in the surf…I would find a quiet…

Sunday, I sat down in my in-law's sunroom, put my feet up, and finished reading a magazine I started two months ago. Four more are waiting their turn in my suitcase and I'm feeling really optimistic that I'll get through them this week, too. I'm also determined to read a book -or at…

My friend Leslie decorated twenty or thirty bottles with this quote and tucked them into clear cellophane goody bags for my party on Saturday – along with lots of candy, colorful, sparkly confetti, and packs of Cosmos seeds. I thought the pack of seeds was especially…

First to Mass for Palms and blessings…next to the Hope House for silly songs and smiles…next soccer with sunshine and celebration (I'm optimistic – they're two for two)…and finally BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN for singing, dancing, memories, and celebrating TWO 50th birthdays with our friends George and Karen. This will be my third "date" with Brucie…the first was…

I kissed my baby goodbye outside of the Lufthansa terminal in Houston on Friday. A yucky cold rain fell on us all the way to the airport. I think it helped to subdue the girls' excitement, but couldn't wash it away completely. I could sense it bubbling in my van all the way there,…
