Means taking time to do the things that you love every day. Following is a list of fun activities to do with family and friends this summer. Walk on the boardwalk and listen to the boards creak under your feet. Play tag, hopscotch, or one of your favorite childhood games. Go to a fair or rodeo.

Wednesday, April 10, 2013. Every so often, I make a biting comment about my mother within earshot of the girls. When the words are escaping my mouth, I think nothing of them. They are my thoughts, my complaints, my perspective, my truth. The girls see it quite differently though. They love my mom, and their entire extended family fiercely, but from a distance. As children should be, they are only exposed to the best of the best and shielding from the unsavory moments. And so I kept my secret, slyly takin.

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. Friday, April 20, 2012.
