This year has broadened my perception of how to approach things. I have really seemed to grasp much deeper that despite everything going on, time does not stop, but it seems to just go by even faster. These thoughts and memories remind me when I coached our town’s Rookie ball league. Now, as joyful as...
On the East coast of NJ at Cape May, hundreds even thousands come to “Sunset Beach” every day all year long. Some for the swimming and some for fishing but the majority for what’s know locally as hunting for Cape May diamonds. You can see them with their rakes and bucket or even just using...

A while ago my husband had knee surgery and developed many complications. After several months of severe pain his knee was frozen because he could not move it as scar tissue developed. He could not walk and was basically paralyzed in that area. Unable to go to physical therapy, the scars increased so the surgeon recommended...
