One Way?

I’m looking at a picture of a One-Way road sign. And I’m pondering. If a road actually only went one way, would someone really have to post a sign to say so? By definition, if the sign is there, it’s possible to go the other way. So why do we follow the sign? Why do

I Wish I’d Never (a short list)

* I wish I’d never quit piano lessons. This is showing itself in a near-daily battle with the 13-year-old over practicing. She wants to quit, and I don’t want her to have this same regret. So we grumble at each other over the dusty little spinet. * I wish I’d never said mean things about

Benefit of the Doubt

I always feel better when I give the benefit of the doubt. Whether I’m assuming that someone didn’t mean offense when offense is in the air, or that kids will be honest when given a chance to be, it always feels better to assume the best about people. So why, so often, do I not

Blink, blink

So summer happened, as I imagine it did for you. It was lovely and not particularly long. Ireland in June. Everyone should try it. Take someone with you who is a confident driver. That was kind of important. Husband was a total pro. Fear not if you picture eating in Ireland to be a long

Refocusing the Energies

There are times when I find it very easy to huddle on the floor in fetal position feeling overwhelmed by Life. Today I started behaving myself like a grownup. (I’m sure you’re clapping for me. We’re all so proud, you’re saying.) I’ve taken the month of July off – no schedule, no appointments, no plans.

Any Body. Every Body.

It’s no secret to anyone who knows us personally that the Wilhites are gifted in Body Issues. I was given a great gift while I was serving at girls’ camp last month, and I want to remember it forever and stuff, so here it comes. Also, if anyone else finds it awesome, so much the
