Finding joy in simple things

May 15, 2013

14

We’ve all heard it said that the simple things are the best. I’m finding this to be true more and more. We all are busy; we all are overwhelmed by technology. It’s time to stop, take a deep breath and look around you. Find the beauty and peace in your surroundings and inside you. So […]

Having fun at Costco

May 8, 2013

I normally don’t like grocery shopping. It’s a chore and it’s annoying and tiring. I have now found that I love going to Costco. For my international friends, Costco is a large warehouse club. Everything is sold in BIG quantities; you can’t just go in and buy a 1 ounce bag of M & M’s […]

Life with a car guy

May 1, 2013

My dear husband is a car guy. I’m not. My view of cars: * A means to get from Point A to Point B * As long as no loud noises are heard from the car, it’s good to go. I should also mention that I drive a ’97 Toyota Camry. In a year or […]

With all the sadness and terror last week, I thought we could do with some light hearted postings. I am going to tell you about my experience doing Beachbody’s Insanity (R) program.

I sat down to write a light-hearted blog post about my fun day watching the Boston Marathon. Instead, I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face as I try to make sense of the senseless violence. The day started with bright sunshine, perfect running temperatures, celebration and hope. The day ended with fear, […]

If you read any of my blog posts, you probably know that I love the outdoors. I especially love hiking and kayaking. After a long, cold and snowy winter, I’m anxious for spring. I was excited to attend a recent LLBean compass reading class. I figured this would be a good thing to know for […]

Random thoughts while out driving

Lots to do today with a tight timeframe. Insurance paperwork needing to be done. Not fun. As I started my day, I began to look forward to it. I love being organized and blasting through my To Do List. For a moment, I did feel guilty, thinking I shouldn’t be enjoying my errands or my […]

How to make a good first impression – or not

March 27, 2013

I had to go to the bank to deposit a check. I’m already annoyed because I hate going to the bank. Long lines, annoying music, video screens in my face, tellers trying to sell, sell, sell. You get the picture. All I want to do is get in and get out, no conversation. The teller […]

Ode to Peeps Peep, Peep, Peep with the very thought, with joy do I leap. As I eat such great candy, I feel so fine and dandy. Star Peeps, Heart Peeps, even Ghost Peeps for fall, And lest I forget the greatest Peep of all, Chick Peeps! Such a long time between the holidays of Easter […]

Sunday is my favorite day of the week. It is a time to step back from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Why I love Sundays: 1. I love spending an hour in church. Seeing the sun come streaming in through the stained glass windows feeds my soul. Hearing the soaring notes of the organ […]
