MOTHER'S DAY IN THE MILITARY

I could hear cadence being sung near the parking lot at Ft. Sill’s Reynolds Army Community Hospital in Lawton, OK. My husband was in the Marine Corps at the time, but he was assigned to an Army base for training. I was in labor with our first child and like many first time mothers; I arrived at the hospital in early labor. Much…See More

Do Not Be Afraid

I have been parking by a small tree in the parking lot at my office all winter, waiting and watching for the first signs of new spring life. Finally, finally that little tree budded and I felt like it was a call for celebration, so I went out and bought a pack of gum on my lunch hour. Hey, a girl has to live every now and then! I love my job, but being in an office day in and day out, often has me longing for the sunshine, the smell of freshly mown grass, a piña colada by the poolside. I can’t…See More

Telegrams, Telephones, Texts, and Tweets

The phone call came through as I stood in my father’s kitchen, “Hello..you want to speak to who?,” as father handed me the telephone with a quizzical look, “He says it’s a message for you.” While the caller still remains unidentified by name, he told me he was a…See More

"Learning to wait is difficult but sometimes rewarding but learning how to just calm down and take life as it comes (no waiting) is always rewarding. Thanks so much for your articles, Kathy."

WAITING

We all know what it means to wait. We wait in line at the checkout counter, in heavy traffic, and for the mailman. We wait for birthdays, our first job, and our first child. When I was a little girl I really learned how to wait by waiting for Christmas. I spent the week before the holiday combing the house trying to find evidence of wrapping paper that gave a clue as to what packages might be placed under the tree. When the day before Christmas finally arrived, I could hardly contain myself.…See More

"Really, really good article Kathy -- I've always wondered what the mystery of Bunco was! Your article set me straight. Everyone who plays it seems to be in love with it. Thanks for helping me get Bunco literate and up-to-date."
