　A Slow News Day

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – October 12, 2004 – It was just one of those days when nothing much happened. I was up early and at my office for our once a month sales meeting. As always Larry prepared a superb program of information that was topical and informative.

One Of Many

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – October 11, 2004 – When I think of all the changes I’m trying to make in my life, I often feel like I’m walking a lonely road. Because no else can create these changes but me, the buck stops right at my door. My friends and family can be supportive cheerleaders, helpful, sympathetic, playing devil’s advocate when necessary and even acting as drill sergeant when I’m faltering – but they cannot make the change stick or give it direction.

“This Dark Night Always Surrenders To The Morning Light”

This Dark Night – It is 2014 and the world is enduring in a very bleak time. I believe that we are at a cross-roads – people (not governments) must decide who we are and what we want to be. If the current state of humanity and our planet reflects the best that we can be – we are in serious trouble.

My toe ring has returned to my jewellery box for the fall and winter seasons. I got out my black turtle neck sweater today and wore my long denim vest over top of it.

What Were We Marching For

What Were We Marching For

What Were We Marching For – Make no mistake – every person who got up on the morning of October 4, 2014 and put on his or her sneakers in 136 cities on 6 continents – knew what we were marching for! We wanted to be there – and we are committed to a common goal – saving elephants – rhinos and lions!

A Delicious Autumn Day

Short Stories From 10 Years Ago – October 8, 2004 – It’s one of those early October days that I absolutely love. Cool and crisp in the morning – breezy by noon – warm by three o’clock and sleeping weather by evening. I had a late morning meeting and I drove up the Bayview Extension, with my sun roof open and some lively tunes playing on the radio.
