Here, you’ll find honest reflections, hard-earned lessons, and practical strategies for creating an authentic life that you enjoy.

Happy Thanksgiving!

on

On this eve of Thanksgiving I am in a no man's land. I am too ill to attend the singles party. And I don't have the requisite "tools" to participate in the married with children family games.

This "free time" has given me time to reflect. I am so grateful that I made reasonably good choices during my college years. It has made my life easier. My mistakes have not been fatal. At this point in my life that is a tremendous blessing.

I Have a Lot to Be Thankful For 


While I wasn't a Rhodes scholar, I did well enough in undergraduate school to gain admission to a law school, which give me a way to make a living. While my love life has been adventurous, I remain resolute in my belief that happy endings exist and long lasting romantic love will be a consistent component of my life. While my family has an unorthodox composition, I realize that it is the quality of our familial connections, and not how they are made, that defines the word "family".

My Life is a Blessing


On this eve of Thanksgiving, I must admit that my life is a good one. I have enjoyed more than my share of happiness, which has muted the impact of any sadness. I rejoice in my achievements and in my relationships. And I am truly thankful.

One of the things for which I am thankful is this blog. Creating the blog has forced me to reflect and to memorialize my thoughts. With each entry I understand more about myself. So, thank you to all of you who read this blog. By reading it, you have given me a tremendous gift.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
