Suddenly today - change as a way of life

Suddenly today I needed to change the look of my website

Does the need for change creep up on us, simmering slowly till is bursts out - manifesting itself as a need for immediate action? Or, are some of us just brats in terms of immediate satisfaction?
I have moved house about 15 times, not all of them through need. Somtimes - well, after moving rooms and furniture enough times, one needs something more Novel. A new city, a new country, and new job, a new life..
Living in Jaffa was enough of a challenge, the house never got finished . I could probably have stayed there forever...but I can't prove it.
Change, change, change.
It has taken me six months in Pardes Hanna to realize that I don't want to move.
I will have to make all the changes within the area I own, and plenty can still be done. Unless I have to make a change, I can really imagine living my life here. ( I might deny this later...)

But change is a necessity for me and so, for today, I had to go with a change to my website. Satisfying for now. Probably not the final look.
Hope you like it.
Any ideas for more changes?

And now for something Completely Different



Public Health, hospitals, independence, dependence, age, Carpe Diem, provision for old age, pension, nest eggs, wealth, poverty - all this difficult stuff I never want to think about, these are the issues that took over this week.

My almost 90 year old mother fell and broke her elbow, which has thrown me into dealing with completely different issues in addition to the current fixing my studio, apartment etc.
She (we) had to wait around for 7 hours in the ER to get attention , fasted 24 hours instead of 6 while waiting for surgery which started 10 hours after schedule - here is the resulting cast. Its heavy and its huge.
Now she is back at her wonderful Beit Protea home, where warm and wonderful people take care of her and we hope she recovers completely and soon.
