Most times I feel that raising my family is the most difficult thing in the world. It consumes me. It’s all uphill. I constantly question if I am doing ‘it’ right. I’ve always felt that I needed to fully apply myself in the art of raising a family.

I found out this morning that a very close childhood friend died last night.
I lost touch with her years ago. I last saw her just after high school graduation. I’d been meaning to find her. It was something I was going to get around to. Her name would come to me when something would remind me of her. Oh, I’d think, I should really see if I can find an email address for her. I wonder what she’s up to, how she’s doing. And then I’d go back to my life and promptly forget. It was so easy to procrastinate, so easy to say I’d get to it later. I always thought there would be time.

Over the past eighty-plus years I have known quite a few people who today would probably be described as being “veracity challenged,” or “veracity impaired,” or something like that. Telling falsehoods is really nothing new. One of the more often repeated passages in the New Testament states: “And the truth was not in him.”

My youngest son is dating. My oldest son is married. My daughter has lived on her own for more than 5 years and I have another son who is graduating from high school this year. Three out of four of my children are now driving, have ATM cards, and a job or two. All of them are taller than I am (and have been for many years). And with the demands of school, friends, sporting events, parties, and girlfriends, the two sons that still occupy our Atlanta home are rarely present. When said children are at home, I can find them behind closed bedroom doors, playing Modern Warfare with strangers met through the television (I’m not even willing to understand all of that), or texting, eating, and talking on the home phone at the same time.

Flowers, chocolate, candles, moonlit walks with the perfect man. Valentine’s Day. The one day each year that all of our romantic dreams come true…… or not. Actually….. Valentine’s Day is often a huge let down. Maybe it’s because of high expectations…… or sometimes because we’re so desperate for a date on Valentine’s day that anyone will do. Not that I speak from experience or anything. Sometimes it’s because our idea of what Valentine’s day should be isn’t the same as his idea.

Can a man really be “just friends” with a woman? A woman with a man? I asked my 24 year old son this question and he said “No way!” I reminded him that I have had a platonic friendship with my good friend Bill for over 14 years. He said “Well it is different with old people.”

My boyfriend is White. That doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, but it is relevant to the topic at hand. Contrary to popular belief, I didn’t have to use any special powers, pray to Afrodite, or fight with 15 other women on reality television to get him. In fact, I pretty much had no game plan at all (hey, I like the fellas to chase me 
). We talked, we clicked, bada bing, we’re together.

What would you do if you caught your friend’s significant other cheating? Do you tell your friend that their partner is cheating and risk her/him turning on you? One thing that you might want to take into consideration is whether or not your friend will actually believe you. It is very possible that your friend may not want to admit that their partner is cheating, so even if your friend does believe you, he or she may accuse you of lying instead. You might want to have some proof before you spill the beans.

Tiger Woods has apologized to me, and all I have to say is it’s about time. I’ve been waiting for his apology for weeks now. Sure, he made an earlier statement, about a week ago, but much to my surprise it did not contain the practically de rigueur statement of apology for the wrongs he has done. This latest statement does, and I thus feel somewhat mollified. Better late than never, I guess.

Have you ever been in mixed company in a social setting where the conversation took a turn toward politics? What about when someone brings up religion or mentions that they go to Church at a social engagement. How do you feel when education becomes the main course at the table of your neighbor’s dinner party? What is your gut reaction?
