  • My experience as a first-time hearing aid user

    A couple of months ago, as autumn was just beginning, and all things seemed possible, I created a Fall Possibilities list. I started out strong and then got busy and lost track…as we humans tend to do. Still, it is a possibilities list and not a to-do list…and some of those possibilities have become reality…so…

  • Celebrating the change of season

    Here we are approaching another change of season. In the United States, we just passed Labor Day, which is the unofficial beginning of autumn. And in case there was any question in my mind, Labor Day brought a sudden drop in temperature where I live. Autumn is truly in the air. I’ve always found the…

  • Thank you notes – August 2023

    August was another joy-filled month. It took tremendous self-restraint to keep this post to a reasonable size, but I think I managed it. Fingers crossed!
