I wonder what I’ll think when I look back on this year — in years to come. I wonder if the rough edges will seem smooth later on and I wonder if the smooth days will be remembered with even more fondness. Hmmm. … Read more
What if today was your last? Posted on October 8, 2011 By pamela What if you knew today was the last day you’d be alive. What would you do — or how would you spend this day?

Time takes time Posted on July 14, 2011July 14, 2011 By pamela In my drafts bucket I have a whole bunch of half-begun and mostly unfinished drafts of letters and blog entries I intended to send or post.
