A Tribute to My Mother

On December 3, 2018, my Mother left this present world.  It was hard saying goodbye.  She was a great mother.  She wasn’t perfect, but no one is, yet she did the best she could with what she had and knew.  I cherish her memories.  She lived on this earth for 91 years.  She lived to …

Do you have …

Age Discrimination

Age just a number.  Having recently celebrated my 60th birthday got me to thinking about what it means to get older.  As you get older, when certain situations occur, it makes you wonder does it have to do with age.  A position is created, various people of different ages apply.  Guess who gets the job?  The youngest to apply …
