		<title>New Year New Blog</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello all,  which at this point might be no one    I&#8217;ve missed blogging immensely, and so have decided to start again, but with a more focused approach.  I&#8217;m going to dedicate my blogging energy to exclusively health and fitness endeavors and you can find me at www.loewenbehold.ca/uptownsmalltown, and you&#8217;ll note the category names [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Tricks?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I often wonder how much of who we are comes to this world and how much we really can choose or change.   I come from what seems to a long line of over achievers and if you had asked me a couple of years ago I would have told you it was one of our strengths.  It [...]]]></description>

		<title>Endless Summer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I sit here, sipping on my chai tea listening to Shark trying to get going upstairs (an event that always requires some coaching) and watching the morning sun on the trees, I am musing about living somewhere where summer is more than &#8216;the day last month that I went swimming.  Shark and I have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Black Holes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shark spent last week at the Centre of the Universe in Astronomy Camp, and while I am much relieved that it seems I won&#8217;t need a new vehicle, the idea of being sucked into the black hole that is at the centre of the Milky Way is a little terrifying; the only comfort is learning from [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Machine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Somewhere back in primary school I read a science fiction short story by Issac Asimov called The Machine.Â  In it,Â the human raceÂ had lost mobility as a result of evolutionary adaptations to automation.Â Â  It all seemed so bizarre back then, but the story came flooding back this summer when Shark and my nieces and nephews went [...]]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;Tis the Season</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I am supposed to focus on all the blessings in my life, and there are many, but often Christmas leaves meÂ aware of what&#8217;s missing. Â This year I hoped to preempt that feeling by focusing on helping people who have less, but that&#8217;s just it&#8230; they have less and me helping out a little [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shark&#8217;s Kernels of Wisdom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tonight at dinner she announces:
The past is history.
The future&#8217;s a mystery.
Now is a gift.
That&#8217;s why they call it a present.

		<title>Hard to Leave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I said it was hard to leave,Â  I forgot how hard it really is to leave in November&#8230;..Â  Empty house, car packed and ready to go and wind howling outside so loud I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s no way the ferry will make it over tonight, and wouldn&#8217;t you know it this storm is rapidly followed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Making Memories</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Does it happen to you that you become acutely aware that you are in a moment that you will carry with you for always?Â  Does time then seem to slow to a soothingly slow pace allowing you to soak up and savour this time in every way, Â so that the memory is vivid and full?
So, [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Best Laid Plans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I used to think that plans and lists were the cornerstones of a well lived life.Â  I have since changed my mind.Â  I guess because by the time you reach my age you realize that nothing stays the same, nothing is predictable and things often aren&#8217;t what they seem.
Everything seemed so well laid out.Â  I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>
