I am determined to cross the finish line. Officially, this my 954’st blog post. I am an oldie blogger, … Continue reading 8 Things That I’ve Learned From A Blogging Challenge
Our temperature has been right at a scorching 100°F for about three weeks now. When our friends ask us, “Have you been on your bikes lately?," our response has been “No, it is too hot!” Tonight, my husband handed me my bike keys, “I think we need to at least start them.” As soon as I … Continue reading Food for the Soul: Country Ride
I find aging, or the topic thereof, interesting. When I was in my early 20’s I couldn’t wait to grow a little older. Being young can be tough, especially in an office workplace setting. I was at the bottom of the totem pole, and I knew it. I typed invoices on a manual typewriter and … Continue reading Musings on Aging
Sometimes I wonder where we crossed the constant connection line. I remember when my mother had a tan-colored phone that hung on the kitchen wall. It was a rotary dial.

This involves several processes, but always includes a steroid injection or two that develops into jittery goofiness. Yesterday, after my husband's post-procedure nap, … Continue reading Marriage With A Serving Of Humor
You don't have to remind me about the value of humor, but sometimes laughter is like a nudge. After a good laugh...ahhh...there it is again, I've found that wonderful feeling, don't sweat over small stuff, and it is ALL small stuff. So, the other day I was scrolling through LaShonda Tyree's Handmade Soap Coach site … Continue reading The Colorful Gift of Laughter
I am participating in the Indie Business Network Blog Your Brand Challenge. This means I committed to publishing a blog post, one a day, for thirty days. Luckily, I own three blogs so I can spread out some of the topics that I will be writing about. To be crystal clear here, I panicked after I typed the challenge … Continue reading 30 Days of Blogging
I brought my satchel of notes and planner with me. I had decided to turn a chair or two into office space as I sat in the waiting room in anticipation of a one-hour stay. An elderly couple caught my attention as they helped each other walk into the room. When they sat down, the husband placed … Continue reading 50 Years of Entwined Fingers
It had been a trying week. After I arrived home from work I took a drive to a second-hand shop to peek around for a couple of small end-of-week rewards ... a token to hold in my hands, and the other a gift of unwinding by myself.
