It's Definitely Listening
Posted By : Rona Gura

I have written about this subject before. A new event occurred that I found so unnerving that I had to write about it again.   My step-son recently got engaged.  Right after the engagement, on that Saturday night, both immediate families met for dinner. The next day, Sunday, my step-son planned a party at a local pub for their entire families and t

Delegating
Posted By : Rona Gura

Are you a good delegator?   During Covid I let my assistant go.  It made economic sense at the time. Since that time, I have had the opportunity to evaluate the tasks she typically performed as I have had to do almost all of them myself.    Unfortunately, I learned that a lot of her work was just repetitive of my work. For example, she paginated my

Slowing Down
Posted By : Rona Gura

I always find that, for me, work slows down just a bit in the summer. Many people in my profession tend to take Fridays off and/or leave the office earlier during the week in the summer.   I like the slower pace in the summer. I tend to get a lot of my “busy” work done then. And for a few weeks things at work seem, to be, just a little less stressf

My Eyes
Posted By : Rona Gura

I have hazel eyes. My Mom, as mothers do, always told me that they made me special because hazel eyes are rare. Recently, I got curious and researched whether my eye color is truly rare. After looking it up, I think my Mom embellished the facts, just a bit    Apparently, violet and grey eyes are much rarer than mine.   I remember that Liz Taylor wa

Hope and Survival
Posted By : Rona Gura

In the midst of the eerie smoke last week, it was nice to read a story about hope and survival.   Four children — including a baby — who spent over a month alone in the Amazon following a plane crash had been found alive. The siblings, who range in ages from 1 to 13 were found in the Columbian jungle on Friday. They were the only survivors of a May

Paris, My Dream Destination
Posted By : Rona Gura

Admittedly, my husband and I do a lot of travelling. The primary incentive for that is that he lost his first wife at age of forty. So his mantra is, “We go now, because we do not know what tomorrow brings”   For years I have been wanting to see Paris. It has been my dream destination. We drove through it once several years ago on a bus tour. I rem

Changes
Posted By : Rona Gura

It almost seems that the pandemic is in our rear-view window. Yet, for me there have been some permanent changes in our lives.    Before the pandemic, when certain sort of movies opened (read Science Fiction), I had to see science fiction movies in the theaters as soon as I could. I firmly believed that these movies could only be seen, and properly

Being Timely
Posted By : Rona Gura

I have one vice that I am emphatic about, I have to be everywhere on time. And, not only on time, generally I always arrive early. If I have a court appearance or meeting, I almost always show up at least fifteen minutes early. If we have a flight, I am usually sitting at the gate at least an hour early.    My family finds my insistence on leaving

A Good Responder
Posted By : Rona Gura

Are you a good texter? Or, the better question is, are you a quick responder to texts?    During working hours, I rarely look at my cell phone. Sometimes if I see a text from one of my children pop up, I might look but that is pretty unusual.    On weekends if I’m out, my cell phone is usually in my purse. My feeling generally is, if someone needs

What's In Your Drawer?
Posted By : Rona Gura

I have a drawer. Everyone in my office knows where the drawer is. It’s my bottom right-hand drawer of my desk. And everyone in my office is welcome to go into the drawer at any time. It contains all of the essentials, that I believe, anyone would need in my office.    I have Tylenol, Advil, and for those really difficult days, there’s Extra Strengt
