When life goes sideways...

Good things...I heard that a gentleman who passed away from cancer last week and wrote a blog through-out his journey. He talked about when life goes sideways from the way we plan...I loved that thought. And sometimes life does take us sideways. For 13 years, I was a single parent. While there were times that it was certainly challenging, I wouldn't trade those years for anything. It certainly wasn't what I had planned, but the journey was still good.

Pittsburgh Better Times is a new publication for folks facing a detour in their plans. If you or someone you know is facing a different road than he/she planned by losing a spouse or partner, you may want to recommend they read this publication! http://www.pittsburghbettertimes.com/.


Good people...The people who have faced difficult times and keep enjoying life. Read about them in Pittsburgh Better Times.

Good times...When my son, Kenton, was about 9, he told me that he thought that if "we had a dad" that we (he and I) wouldn't be as close. It was a wonderful moment for a single-mom, knowing that my son realized there were silver linings in some clouds. Or maybe it was a gold lining.
