Sundry? I know it's an old word, but it's still a good one. Sundry: as an adjective it means "of various kinds, several." Okay, so that makes Various and Sundry redundant, but the phrase has been around a long time.
How about this: as a noun sundry means "Various items not important enough to be mentioned individually."
Isn't life often like that? The sundry parts of our lives are so often disparate and seemingly inconsequential, but when you add all the sundry parts together there is a mosaic. That mosaic is our lives and that is hardly inconsequential. The mosaic of our lives includes people, events, thoughts, perceptions, everything that touches us. When you put all the sundry items together there is a pattern.
Socrates famously said that the "unexamined life is not worth living," although the statement is sometimes credited to Aristotle. In either case, it is important to reflect on our lives, and this site is a reflection on mine, and I hope yours as well. If you find something that clicks for you, please comment. Conversations are the stuff of life and together we can make better sense of the various and sundry pieces of our lives.
