A Day with Dad
I moved to Atlanta six years ago for warmer weather and better work-life balance. Cousins of my dad live in a lovely community down here. When I visited, they shared cherished memories of my father, as well as my grandfather, and it was all so comforting. Moving to Atlanta was moving to be closer to … Continue reading A Day with Dad
Spring in Atlanta: Love Is in the Air
It’s been six years since the decision to move to Atlanta. We came here for warmer weather and greater affordability. I had cousins in the area who graciously introduced us to the vibrant Jewish community. The synagogue reminded me of the one in my hometown, of which I had fond memories. The following Sunday we … Continue reading Spring in Atlanta: Love Is in the Air
Spending Time in Nature Didn’t Always Come Naturally
You look at me now and you’d probably be shocked to hear that I didn’t like sitting on the ground when I was in high school. My friends would be eating lunch outside at times, and I had this aversion to sitting in the dirt. Later, in college, Brandeis University had this gorgeous outdoor area … Continue reading Spending Time in Nature Didn’t Always Come Naturally

I hope you enjoy… “I’m standin’ on the bridge I'm waitin' in the darkI thought that you'd be here by nowThere's nothing but the rain No footsteps on the ground … Continue reading I’m with You
Less of a Chore, When Done Outdoor(s)
Built something for my home last week while sitting on a picnic blanket outside on my sunny lawn on a warmer-than-usual autumn day. It was delightful. Sunlight is so lovely. A great mood booster. In the olden days, people were outside so much more. And while I’m not saying I want to be washing my … Continue reading Less of a Chore, When Done Outdoor(s)
Lessons From A Not-So-Average Hike
Went for a hike last week. It was great. Except that my car had a sudden issue that I had to solve. I went in for some calm in nature, and arrived to a situation in which my car needed to be serviced. I didn’t get the relaxation I intended, but I got much more: … Continue reading Lessons From A Not-So-Average Hike
