Do you water plants on a regular basis - like once a week? Or, do you water “as needed”?I generally water my plants once a week, on Thursdays.But sometimes a plant cries out for water.

As I get older, the loss of the holiday traditions that my mom carried on are now being eroded in my home.  There are a few reasons for that, some because we are a mixed heritage household, some because time does not allow the leisure to participate, make, decorate the way I used to.   But for me, the loss is felt most because I live so very far away from my core family, who are in Texas…ALL OF THEM.  I rarely travel during the holidays, though we have in the past. 

I spent most of my Thanksgiving feeling blessed and grateful.

Now that Thanksgiving is over I can make this confession. My favorite part of the turkey is frame, which I never gnaw on in public, only in private. During dinner, with others, I eat only the white meat.

There's only one resource you can't buy.     Unlike other resources, time stands apart. It's the one commodity we can't purchase, trade, or reclaim. No amount of wealth or influence can add a second to our day.    It's what all of us have in common no matter your social standing, where you're from, or how much money you have in the bank.
