So the new year is about to begin and with it, our New Year’s resolutions, most of which revolve around getting healthier. Most of you can identify with the “COVID” diet that has caused our waistlines to grow. My COVID diet consists of: Cream for my coffee. After tasting this delicious combination, I can’t go […]

Kayaking is my “happy place” these days. When we are out on the water, life seems almost normal. We were out the other day and even though it was a cloudy, cool day, it was still good. There was some sunshine in the distance so I was going to write a deep, serious blog post […]

Okay, so we’re all hunkered down in our living spaces, probably going a bit stir crazy. After all, how many YouTube videos can one watch in a day? Here is some light reading to brighten your day. 1.

Comments Off on What do you take for granted?
I try to live a life of gratitude, but sometimes things get away from me. I notice that I take things for granted and only realize it when those things are taken from me. My ongoing experience with foot pain has served as a reminder. Maybe this time, I will learn my lesson. I try […]

Ah, summertime. Long sun-filled days, the desire to be outdoors all the time and the slower pace. I love kayaking more than anything (well, maybe not more than Peeps or chipmunks).
