Yesterday I found a neighbor's extended family backing across my front lawn to get to their backyard. I ran to the door and yelled at the young men that they did not have permission to drive on my lawn. They agreeably left, but I continued to feel annoyed. When I got up this morning, I … Continue reading Today I recognized that I am not done. →

Although back in January, I started a Gratitude Journal, it became a difficult thing for me. Perhaps I did not feel as grateful as it demanded (a list of 3 things daily), but I think it was because I was not looking at my life correctly. Today finds me posting a daily list of the … Continue reading Blessings →

My last post was the end of January...and then, well, life fell apart. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but some aspects were: increasing L leg issues from walking,  long car trip for funeral, busy with guests, coronavirus...and just life, I guess. I really want to get back to my new routine of walking but … Continue reading And, four months later… →

The end of the month is coming soon. Wow! I have been doing so very much. Here's a list: Planned to walk for 15 minutes for 30 days. I ran into a bit of pain and ended up taking 3 breaks in my plan. One break was substituting dance exercise from the Body Groove CD … Continue reading Looking back over the month →

I finally made a list of all the cameras in the house. There are 7 different cameras: KSX 35mm, Polaroid Impulse, RCA Video Recorder, Cannon Rebel T5 EOS 1000D, Canon Powershot A560 Digital, Canon AF 35ml, and a Ricoh Q105Z. So leaving the Polaroid and RCA cameras aside, I have two digital cameras and three … Continue reading Cameras and all →

After 2 days of tracking water intake with a modest aim of 4 glasses, I decided to scrap this idea. I will still aim to drink plain water at least once a day, but I have chosen to forego counting it and giving up the Crystal Light (flavored water) that I enjoy or my morning … Continue reading January’s goals: more thoughts →

So, I have decided that each month I will choose a focus for the month. That focus will be explored in all three areas of my year's resolutions: physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual. January's focus is Health. Generally this means, to me, physical well-being. It will be a bit more challenging to stretch it out to … Continue reading Monthly focus: health →

Started several things to maintain and improve my health. However, note that the year is only 2 days old and, thus, these are baby steps still. 1. Decided to walk at least 15 minutes for 30 days. Have done this for 2 days. Opened an app on my phone today: Samsung Health. Used it to … Continue reading Goals: health →

Much like most people, I enjoy getting things in the mail. I look forward to the delivery of an ordered item, similar to a child watching for Santa. In the past, I have been of the attitude that a magazine must be read in its entirety. As a result, those that have come to my … Continue reading Magazines: my love/hate relationship →

Last year I decided I wanted to live in better accordance with taking care of the earth. This has always appealed to me...something about the interconnectedness of all life with mine. My first effort was to replace plastic straws with cold drinks. I got rid of my own accumulation of plastic straws and started refusing … Continue reading Efforts to live ecologically →
