My Father's Death One Year Later

Submitted by Celia Fischer

On June 4, it will have been a year since my father died.   On the website Women's Happiness  on what it is like for a middle-aged woman to lose an elderly parent.    My father died two months short of his ninetieth birthday from complications from a fall down a flight of stairs.   He sustained a brain injury which the doctors could not treat because my father had heart problems.

Submitted by Celia Fischer

As I writing this, the Governor of Massachusetts has just lifted the shut down in the Boston area due to the chasing of the suspect of the bombing of the Boston Marathon.  Where I live things were quiet.  During the shutdown I was keeping in touch with people using Facebook.

For both men and women friendship is important.   We are getting busier and busier with work.  Finding time for friendship can be difficult.   However, there are more and more ways of keeping touch with people.   Finding the appropriate communication method is becoming an art.

Beauty is Only Skin Deep

Submitted by Celia Fischer

I am going to give you a different perspective on beauty than you generally hear.    I know several very good looking women who even though they say they want to get married don’t seem to have much luck with men.   Whenever, they have a problem finding a man they put on their physical appearance.   Yet I know of many women who might be described as plain looking find men who love them and are happily married.   I have one friend in her late fifties and in no way looks like a “babe” but men seem to go wild over her.  &n

Encouraging Words for Singles

Submitted by Celia Fischer

 I have been married since 1995 and I started dating my husband since 1985(we are both slow people-my husband is slower than me).Consequently, I can’t say that I am up on the current dating scene.   However, whenever, I read about current singles and the difficulties in finding someone it strikes me as a truly amazing miracle that anyone in the world can find their soul mate.

However, for those of you who are looking for your life partner and feel discouraged about finding that special someone please consider these points:

Winter Blues, Mindfulness and Escapism

Submitted by Celia Fischer

“In the midst of winter I know there is in me an invincible summer”-Albert Camus.

This time of year in the Boston area, I understand what Camus meant.    The weather has been awful;for several weekends we have been housebound because of the snow.   Between bad weather and everyone being sick,   I have had virtually no social life this winter.    Everyone here is sick of the winter and is waiting for spring.    I feel that I can no longer stand these short, cold, snowy winter days.

Don't Marry a Prince

Submitted by Celia Fischer

I am home sick from work reading the The Diana Chronicles by Tina Brown.    I am on page 105.   I am very close in age to Diana and I remember her wedding so the book is touching something in me in terms of generation.
