Living With Meniere’s Disease (Vertigo)
I remember the day as if it was yesterday. I was attending a party and someone grabbed my hand to join an Israeli folk dance called the Hora. For ten minutes, I danced in a circle smiling at my husband who was sitting at a table watching. It was one of those special...The Birthday Gift I REALLY want
Fifty years ago, I never would have imagined that we would be connecting with people all over the world via the internet. Back then, you wrote and mailed letters or made very expensive long distance calls. Life certainly has changed…Is it 100% for the better? I...2016…I am ready for you!
2016 will be a milestone year for me. I am turning 65 on January 29th and have designated myself as “The New Face of Medicare”. This is not because of how I look (though the freckles definitely help to peel a few years off), or even how I feel (I have been...Happy 65th Birthday To My Life Partner
My husband is turning 65 tomorrow. Almost 40 years ago, we imagined that at this age, we would be traveling the country in a fabulous RV, having adventures. In reality, it will be a regular work day. We are not going to be retiring any time soon unless we win the...Delilah’s Morning

It was June 6th, 1976 when you showed up at my door for our first date. Eight years had passed since we sat next to each other in homeroom 11-17 at Miami Beach High. I opened the door and you leaned down and handed my 2 year old son (who was glued to my thigh) a red...Do You Remember Life Before Facebook?
Do you remember LBF a.k.a Life Before Facebook? The biggest difference was the definition of the word friend. A dictionary says a friend is…A person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection. An online dictionary gives the definition...Is That All There Is To Life?
The other day I was a little surprised to read a young friend’s Facebook post where she expressed her concern about being SO old and not having accomplished what she should have by that age. I think she’s around 27. That sounds pretty young to me to be...About Debi
