You will find a variety of topics here based on years of observations and experiences and how I manage to weave those into life where I find myself in the final quarter. Here comes the fun part. No one knows how long or short the final quarter might be. My philosophy is to be and do the best we can with an attitude of gratitude and giving. Four careers in 60+ years gave me multiple opportunities to learn, lead and serve others.
I have enjoyed a long life filled with challenges and rewards, joys and sorrows. It has been and continues to be a very full life. The immense freedom to choose how I spend or invest my time is a gift that continues beyond what I expected a decade ago. Believing that we are always in the process of becoming, I continue to explore where I am, as well as where I think I’m going. If you want to come along on that journey here, welcome aboard. I resonate with “We know a lot of things because we have seen a lot of things.”
Subscriptions are free and always will be. If anyone wants to make a pledge of any amount, $5.00 and over, that will be contributed to the AMS Scholarship for Underserved Communities. Awards go to students who have been traditionally underrepresented in the sciences, especially Hispanic, Native American, and Black/African American students. The American Meteorological Society (AMS) is committed to advancing core values of diversity, inclusion, and equity across all aspects of the atmospheric, oceanic, and hydrologic sciences. In the first year,just completed in February 2025, we were pleased to pass along over $300 from the voluntary gifts and subscriptions to “From Both Sides Now.” While not a big grant, every dollar counts.
Each new post goes directly to your inbox and you can choose to view, read, comment, share or delete as the spirit moves you. Or you can save and read later. I try to offer up something about once a week, not on a rigid schedule.
Offer comments and feedback.
I value your responses and learn from them so, please, feel free to respond, even if briefly. Or, if you want a conversation of more than a sentence or two, I am open to that as well. Thanks in advance for your consideration
