Well. Hmm. I don’t try, I either do something or I don’t, but sometimes I really don’t feel like walking or going to yoga or eating decently. I know it’s bad when… It’s been off and on difficult here for so many reasons, but I usually rally and do the things that I know willContinue reading “What do I try to skip?”

Joe Walsh I don’t tend to run into celebrities. It’s never been a thing with me. But a long time ago my first husband was in AA with Joe W. He came home one day from work and said we’re going to a bar. Part of the reason I’ve lived this life is that ifContinue reading “Probably”

remind us to live in the moment and have some fun. They get us up and out of the house. They make us go for walks. They make us laugh. On this cold windy November Sunday, I pass many people walking their dogs through a shin deep swish of leaves. Hair blowing in every direction,Continue reading “Pets…”

Do I need time? It’s funny that I actually do not need more time. Back when I was a young mom working around the clock I would have said YES! Absolutely!Sleep was in short supply. Meals and laundry ate up huge chunks of my day. How did I do it? I’m not a fan ofContinue reading “Time”

I get obsessed over things. Books, movies, songs, albums, clothes, decor, recipes… I’ve never figured out why. I can’t control it, and sometimes things even over lap. These come out of what seems like nowhere. Though I don’t live under a rock. something sparks and fuels me. Oh and if it’s not weird enough thatContinue reading “A weird thing”

Know? Strong words, a sweeping all inclusive generality. Okay, I’ll bite. I think everyone ‘should’ KNOW: about the physiology of breathing.
