From snow to spring!

February 26, 2014

We still have lots of snow on the ground, in spite of temps in the 50’s. But there is hope. Here is a picture of one of our ‘pet’ chipmunks, who has awakened from his big winter sleep. He dug a hole in the snow to come out and gather food. In case you are […]

More snow!

February 19, 2014

Here is a picture of our backyard during the latest weekly snowstorm. . .No deep thoughts this week, just thinking about snow. Nothing else to say, but snow, snow and more snow! 🙂 Photo is thanks to Mr. Ken, photographer extraordinaire.

Doing the opposite

February 12, 2014

So can you go from this: to this? The answer is yes! How so you may wonder? It’s all in how you workout. I love lifting heavy weights because I feel so strong. In an effort to mix things up, I am now doing a Barre rotation. What the heck is barre? Think graceful ballerina […]

How to watch the Super Bowl

February 5, 2014

So the quintessential American past time is upon us. I am not sure how I feel about the fact that Americans are most associated with sports, but I’ll let that go for now. I don’t like football. There I said it. What is the purpose of giant men (can we say 300 pounds of muscle?) […]

Slow down!

January 29, 2014

I am getting better at this mindfulness thing. Between my yoga, meditation and prayer, I am able to slow down sometimes. I still have a ways to go though. Sundays are my day of rest. I like to sleep late and just relax. Although for me, sleeping late means getting up at 6 am instead […]

Snow day!

January 8, 2014

Here’s what we woke up to the other day. Plus, it was about 10 degrees Farenheit (-12 Celsius). I feel like a kid again. As much as I loved school, I loved having a snow day so I could stay home and play. We just had a two day winter storm that dumped over a […]

Any New Year’s Resolutions?

January 1, 2014

Normally, I view resolutions as things to be broken. Then you feel guilty and all out of sorts. Who needs that? But, in my quest to be more in charge of my destiny, I’ve decided to be more accountable. What better way than to publicly declare my intentions? So here goes, my New Year’s Resolutions. […]

Hello dear readers! I wish for you all a very Merry Christmas. For my friends who do not celebrate this holiday, I wish you all the joy and peace of the season. I am posting this a day early, since we all will be busy on Christmas Day. I wanted to share with you our […]

Letting go of all or nothing

December 18, 2013

It’s amazing the perspective you gain when you get older. At least that’s one positive thing about getting older! I have found that I have totally changed my view of the world from all or nothing to shades in between. I suppose the this all or nothing was necessary while I was attending a very […]

The power of music

December 11, 2013

My biggest regret in life is that I never learned to play a musical instrument. Looking back, I don’t think I would have had the patience to learn one. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve really learned to appreciate the good things in life and music is one of them. My first introduction to music was […]
