		<title>A Foundation for Peace</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The common appearance to man is perfection.  When that common appearance changes to imperfection we seek help to bring it back to perfection.  This is where the first decision comes into play.  What kind of help do you seek?  Conventional wisdom personified by the medical system, spiritual help through prayer and seeking God whatever he [...]]]></description>

		<title>Evenings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the evenings when you&#8217;re alone you think of a lot of things you wish you had done in your life.  You think about people you lost touch with.  You think about people you love and haven&#8217;t seen for a long time.  You think about lost opportunity and couldabeens, shouldabeens, and your favorite wouldabeens.  If [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Beginning of the End</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the purposes of this blog site was to share experiences that so many of us have had with the American medical system, good and bad.  But before we got into that part of the conversation I wanted to lay a foundation for my and my family&#8217;s experiences by sharing a little about my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Look to the Creator</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another new day has come, and with it fresh experiences.  And even though we don&#8217;t like to think of a loved one&#8217;s passing as being the predecessor of positive change, it certainly can be.  Because we are grieving we feel  the  one who is missing demands sadness.  Not so!  Healthy changes, painful changes are all  part of  a [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s A New Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a new day and there are things to do and decisions to make.  I now have to decide if I should stay in my home which I really cannot afford to do, or should I sell, rent it out, or trade with someone suitable.  The  time for mourning is shortened but not softened by [...]]]></description>

		<title>My First Beginning</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first  beginning after Kenny left was adjustment.  The first night without him.  It was treacherous territory because it was new.  I had not been without him in my life for forty four years.  I was eighteen when we married and he had turned twenty, two weeks before.  Two kids that thought they were grown [...]]]></description>

		<title>Beginnings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the things you find when you lose someone you love is the immediacy of beginnings.  It begins with your first moment without them in your visual world.  It then proceeds to one hour and on until the first day is complete.  And of course for each of those beginnings there has been an ending and therein lies the pain.  As those endings rain down upon you, sometimes becoming a storm, there is the realization of what will never be again.  The smile you loved so much, the private jokes, the "someday" plans, something as simple as your next meal, or a cup of coffee together.  Endings.  But make no mistake.  With each ending there is a beginning...]]></description>
