Susan's Musings: January 2007
http://susans-musings.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Poetry and other reflections on life. Sunday, January 21, 2007. What a glorious, perfect night it was tonight! I went out to shovel the snow off our driveway, steps and sidewalks. Wrapped in snow boots, snow pants, and all the other winter accoutrements, I didn't feel the slightest bit cold. There was no breeze at all. The lightest of snowflakes were steadily falling. The village was quiet on a Sunday evening. I was disappointed when I found myself with nothing else to shovel. God's in His Heaven -.

Susan's Musings: May 2008

Poetry and other reflections on life. Tuesday, May 13, 2008. This is not my original work, but I thought it was so good I would post it for the rest of y'all to enjoy (whoever that may be). This is a reflection from http:/ www.coachingcompass.com/. Have you ever found yourself admiring someone for what they believed in even though you may not have agreed with them? Right or wrong you have to respect someone who takes a position and stands by it. Isn't that what happens in our lives anyway? Take a stand t...

Poetry and other reflections on life. Saturday, March 24, 2007. So what exactly is the teaching that Paul would have received about marriage? To understand it we have to go all the way back to the book of Genesis. Here we find the story of the creation of the very first married couple Adam and Eve. Here is the rabbinic commentary on these verses from the Stone Edition Chumash. Is there any evidence that Paul was familiar with this teaching? Now we turn to the more thorny issue of understanding in what sp...

Susan's Musings: April 2006
http://susans-musings.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Poetry and other reflections on life. Friday, April 21, 2006. Eulogy for My Uncle: Gardiner Dutton. When my father, who was Gardiner’s older brother, died, I wrote a song for him. At my mother’s urging, (it’s always the mothers who make us do these things, isn’t it? I pulled out my guitar and sang a rendition for Cam and Gardiner. They were sitting in what had newly become just my mother’s dining room, and Gardiner was touched. When I was done he asked, Will you write one for us too when we go? What woul...

Poetry and other reflections on life. Monday, March 24, 2008. Sometimes my job just has to bleed over into daily life. I thought this article was a great reminder of the upsides of being a couple. Sometimes we can get too focused on what's wrong with our life, marriage, spouse, kids, etc. It's healthy to step back and consider all the things that are. In the case of marriage, I firmly believe that the time for rose-colored glasses is after you say I Do. The time for hard, realistic appraisal is.

Susan's Musings: September 2007
http://susans-musings.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Poetry and other reflections on life. Friday, September 28, 2007. We sat beside the maple tree. In the warm October sun. Basking in its brief blaze of glory. The apples we bit into. Were bright and crisp, like the air. We rolled the red Italian wine around in our mouths. And let it loosen our tongues. It's funny," I said. This tree's brightest hour is just before the dark,". And sliced another sliver of cheese. He laughed and looked around at the scenery. Spring always comes again," he said. And the barr...
