Contemplation for the New Year – By Margaret Hart
January 25th, 2013
There are those who make resolutions, but call them goals instead. I guess there’s something about the word “resolution” that people feel sets them up for failure. Saying you’re setting a goal is a more optimistic approach. I like what the principal of my son’s school said this year. Inserted in ...
Happy Birthday to Me by Margaret Hart
January 15th, 2013
Last week I celebrated a birthday. It wasn't a milestone, just an ordinary birthday. My son and husband let me sleep in, and woke me up by sliding a pair of comfy new slippers onto my feet, and presenting me with colorful and sentimental birthday cards. As I often do, I ...
Resolutions, Goals and Contemplations by Margaret Hart
January 1st, 2013
At the start of every New Year, people talk about making a New Year's resolution. These usually revolve around things they are going to stop doing, or things they are going to start. Statistically, most people who make resolutions do not keep them. Perhaps they set the bar too high, ...
On This Christmas Day by Margaret Hart
December 25th, 2012
On this Christmas day, I am thankful for the chance to spend time with my family and friends. I am especially grateful because, like many in my state and around the country, I am still grieving for the lives lost of children and adults who were taken too soon in ...
My Truth About Facebook – by Margaret Hart
December 4th, 2012
I wonder what most people think about Facebook? Do you think, as does one of my dear friends, that it's a colossal "time suck" and worthless? Or do you think it's fun and a great way to keep in touch with friends? Or maybe you are like me, you have ...
Hurricane Sandy – by Margaret Hart

My Crazy Summer by Margaret Hart
June 26th, 2012
I was truly hoping this would be a summer when I could tackle long-term projects at my leisure, finally make headway, and maybe even complete one or two. I thought I might even squeeze in a little relaxation one day a week while my son was at camp. That would ...
Goodbye to the Nursery by Margaret Hart
June 19th, 2012
This past weekend a good friend of mine came to visit with her 14-month-old baby. Chasing her son around my house as he crawled almost as fast as I can walk, I was reminded of what my life was like seven years ago, when my son first started to walk. ...
