Diams; November 23, 2016. Diams; 24 Comments. Just skimming through the New York Times, and I saw a review for the new movie, “La La Land.”. From the review and the trailer – I really want to see it. Not that I see a lot of movies anymore. But, when I was a kid, and up through my twenties, I saw just EVERYTHING. So here, for Thanksgiving, I’d like to say thank you to all my movie-going friends:. My father too – who liked to go to the drive-in and see John Wayne movies. My friend Doris. Doris and I we...

Diams; March 7, 2017. Diams; 13 Comments. I can easily come up with dozens of little kindnesses that I’ve experienced lately. If I go back further, I can come up with hundreds. Maybe thousands in my whole lifetime, which is about 2/3 of a century now. I’m grateful for those kindnesses and also grateful that I remember them. I’d hate to let …. Continue reading →.

My Favorite Days – Part One. Diams; February 2, 2014. Diams; 35 Comments. Next week I’ll be celebrating the anniversary of one of the best days of my life. Just thinking about that day led me to consider what other days I would choose as my favorite days. So leading up to The Big Event, for the next couple of days I’m posting some of the runners-up. I can’t rank these really – they are so different from each other. But here goes:. PERFECT DAY NUMBER ONE:. Happy Unbirthday, Summer 1963. We weren’t r...

Practical Forgiveness | notquiteold
https://notquiteold.com/2017/01/02/practical-forgiveness
Diams; January 2, 2017. Diams; 30 Comments. About two years ago, a friend hurt my feelings. This was not a close friend – since those friends and family whom we love are usually more sensitive to our sensitivities. Not that a loved one cannot hurt you, but I think it is rarer. Unless of course, they don’t really love you at all. Then you need to reflect on why your closest companions would not be kind to you. I felt bad. And I felt bad for quite a long time. I could have ended our small friendship. I...

Diams; November 22, 2016. Diams; 7 Comments. Here’s a post from three years ago… on the 50th anniversary of the death of John F. Kennedy. I promise I will be silly again in a few days, but I’m somber today.). One night over dinner, about thirty years ago, my father was feeling philosophical. He started talking about events that happen in your life that change you. Not just for a while, or in some superficial way – but change who you are. Not a bad answer. But I didn’t have to consider it for long&#...

Diams; December 12, 2016. Diams; 31 Comments. This is a tough time for old hippies like me. We joined the establishment decades ago, but tried throughout to keep our values intact. We’ve championed the needs of the poor and the powerless, worked to protect human rights and preserve the environment, protested war and corruption – all while also trying to support our families and respect opinions that differed from ours. Here’s how I had a sweet day today. But I also realized out in the slushy snow that my...
