and found that my back ached...and that when I walked to the bathroom, my left ankle was sore. And, there was no ready reason in my head for either area to be an issue. Yesterday was not physically hard. I was working as a poll worker for a primary run-off election. I had served in … Continue reading I woke up this morning…

May, already!
I can't believe that it is May. I am both amazed and a bit overwhelmed. I started this year with a couple of major projects planned: a new gate to my backyard and seeding my front yard. Then there was the usual maintenance of car and central air system and seeding the backyard. The new … Continue reading May, already!
What I have been up to…
I began this new year of 2026 without particular goals or resolutions for my self. That is a bit unusual, since, even if I do not articulate them aloud to others, I usually know what I am aiming to work on for myself. And, to be honest, the areas that I choose to work on...to … Continue reading What I have been up to…
Finding Me
Each late fall/winter season I go through a contemplative period where I evaluate my life. This one has thrown me for a loop, but then each one does! Recently, I took a moment from my TO-DO Schedule and cancelled my plans for a couple of days. During that short period, I vegged with holiday movies … Continue reading Finding Me
Procrastination
I have been plagued by this habit most of my life. There was always tomorrow...or later. Lately I have been contemplating why I do this and how it has interfered with my goals and hopes and dreams...even my daily life! I have also been participating in writing instruction in an attempt to learn more about … Continue reading Procrastination
New Directions
I did a first for me this year. I planned and completed a five week trip to Scotland. It was the first overseas trip ever for me, and, although I did most of the planning, I did use AAA for some parts of it. It was a great experience that will take me quite a … Continue reading New Directions
Rearranging my life
This was going to be my resolutions blog back in January. I named it, and then walked away and never came back to writing it until now. This is the first year since I started this blog that I did not do any resolutions for this year. Why? Well, because my long dreamed of trip … Continue reading Rearranging my life
Beauty
I created this draft back in October of 2023. I had been wandering in one of my favorite spots, the foraging ponds of the Audobon Society. On that particular trip, I was amazed at the beauty of what I was seeing and spent some of my time trying out various picture settings with my camera. … Continue reading Beauty
Reflections (Part 3)
OK. This is the last of the reflections. Thanks for bearing with me as I think through these topics. I have finished the list of interests that are current in my life, and I have discovered that some have become less important to me, star-gazing, bird-watching, shooting, and genealogy. I will still engage in them … Continue reading Reflections (Part 3)
Reflections (Part 1)
It is the New Year ~ 2022, and a time to reflect on my life...what I like, what I want to change. In the past, I have chosen 3 areas for improvement: my spiritual life, my physical body and health, and my interests. This year I find myself aware of my lack of exercise, my … Continue reading Reflections (Part 1)
