I remember being taught that Chicago was the crossroads of America.
I recalled that recently while waiting for a freight train to pass.
I frequently wait for freight trains now.

And so I find myself somewhere in the middle..,

of the country,
of the issues,
of parenting,
and of life.

I wait.
And I wonder where the train will go next.

My Story
Back in junior high my best friend gave me a wicker basket full of pencils, legal pads, journals and books on "how to write”.  It remains one of the best presents I have ever received.  Writing was pushed to the side for many years as I trained to be a doctor and later left that path to stay at home with my four kids.  Today though, I am thankful for this space where I can write and encourage community bonding through avenues like book club.
