By Susan Anderson-Khleif
Nov 30, 2019 6:00 AM - I realize not everyone has a large family nor a harmonious, happy and supportive family. But if you are among the lucky who do, the family reunion is a wonderful and valuable tradition.
No more checks and life's inevitable changes

By Susan Anderson-Khleif
Nov 23, 2019 6:00 AM - A surefire aspect of changing times is that they catch up with you. I've discussed this issue in terms of technology for personal communication and keeping in touch, but it's really broader than that. It's the general necessity to adapt to change and accept it.
Grief: Uh oh, another estate sale

By Susan Anderson-Khleif
Nov 16, 2019 7:00 AM - I had "sworn off" estate sales -- because I always find and buy items I like and can use, but do not really need. However, going to estate sales are a type of a hobby. And hobbies help us stay curious, cheer us, allow us to enjoy the day and not be so sad.

Grief: Don't forget to eat your veggies

Grief: Patio gardens cheer everyday life

By Susan Anderson-Khleif
Oct 20, 2019 9:25 AM - A patio garden is a favorite hobby of mine. It brings me cheer all spring and summer because it is in full view right outside my kitchen sliding glass doors and the windows above the sink.

By Susan Anderson-Khleif
Oct 13, 2019 6:00 AM - Recently I had a very strong sensation that "it just isn't fair." Not fair to my dear husband, Baheej, that he's gone, or that I am cooking meals he would enjoy, but can't have.
