I consider Zaccheus a biblical giant. In the book of Luke, he described Zaccheus as short. Luke’s description compared Zaccheus’s height to the crowd’s stature.

I started dabbling in poetry a few weeks ago. In Leo Buscaglia’s book Love, published in 1972, Buscaglia wrote that without close ties with humans, an infant can regress, developmentally lose consciousness, fall into idiocy and die.

When my husband and I sold our house four years ago and chose to rent, we sorted our possessions. We are minimalists, so the sifting process was…well, minimal.

A lady came for her weekly appointment at a nutritional center where I once worked. After I took her blood pressure and weight, she leaned into me, almost conspiratorially, and whispered, “I know why I gained weight. I’ll tell you when we get back to your office.” The lady talked about how her family unexpectedly…
When communication methods shifted to an electronic wave, I found myself saddened by a loss of personalized connection. This sadness surprised me because as an introvert I require abundant quietness. I thrive with large margins of isolation, but I’m not accustomed to loneliness. I socialize through snail mail cards, one-on-one walks, or phone calls. People…

From my book, “FROG Blog, Learning on a Lily Pad.” Available on Amazon and Kindle. ATTENDANCE DOESN’T ALWAYS EQUAL ATTENTION A lady who shares my favorite walking route paused this morning to ask what I do as my profession. She promised herself that the next time she saw me walking, she’d gather the courage to…
