my two cents

The widow’s mite. We’ve all heard the story how this woman gave what little she had and it meant more than all the rich offerings given from a person’s excess. But what does that mean for me today? To be truly generous must I give to the point of becoming destitute? Must I spend my health and well being by giving my time without limits? Maybe it’s more about trust. Maybe if I trusted that I will have all I need, giving of my time, my treasures and my self would be much easier. Pondering this, I become aware of how much I need to grow in generosity.

Since retiring from Northwest Airlines and moving to the Pacific Northwest, I have more time to devote to writing. My first novel, "Tales of Two Sisters" was published over a year ago. I have been writing poetry for a long time and am attempting to collate my poetry into a short book, with pictures. A sequel to "Tales of Two Sisters" should be getting closer to completion soon. Gardening and tending the vineyard take a lot of time in the summer. Even though I love the outdoors, these activities do cut down on my writing. So I appreciate that wintertime allows me time to write. Writing, for me, is what brings things into focus and helps me to make sense of the things that life brings. It is a gift to me and I hope that it will be to you also.
