Struggling with loads of laundry, clutter in the kitchen and chaos in your life? Stress can easily steal our joy. Trish Berg reminds us to simplify the small stuff and find Joy in the Journey.

Thank God for mothers

Emotions are a weird thing. Sometimes when you think youre going to cry you dont and then the next time you surprise yourself by crying, just out of the blue.

This year has been quite unusual in that we have had several weeks...
Nicknames vary Just call me friend
When I was born my parents named me Daphne, because I am told; it was something different, it was a pretty name and in hopes that I wouldnt be given a nickname while growing up. I like my name, because it is not common, it was chosen well, but not having a nickname did not work out so well. This no nickname train of thought comes from a woman named Joann that sports a vanity plate that...Wayne County Retired Teachers Association announces grant recipients
