I’m turning 59 on Monday. In decades past, yes I said decades, the “9” last year of the previous decade got into my head more than the “0” first year of the next. I would find myself a few days away from the last year my 20s, 30s, 40s, feeling a bit off. I wouldContinue reading “Turning 59”

December 9th
Slept in past sunrise this morning. Fighting the remnants of sinusitis, it seems the nighttime medicine took hold. I hesitated before I opened the blinds to invite the day in. I looked upon a somewhat hazy sky highlighted by the sparkling crystal dew which had frozen upon the horizon. Although I felt a shiver, IContinue reading “December 9th”
The pants didn’t fit…

Summer challenge – success – yay or nay?
The summer solstice was yesterday, the only way to verify in the Northeast that it truly is summer because the weather is more fall like.. but I digress. My 100 days to summer challenge is officially over.. During those 100 days I lived my life as follows, give or take a few events: 40 +Continue reading “Summer challenge – success – yay or nay?”
Then I painted my finger nails
Healthy is hard. Eating well takes work and planning. Exercise takes effort. Self-care takes prioritizing yourself. Sometimes I just don’t feel like putting in the work. Plopping on the couch is easy, grabbing some premade whatever to eat is easy. Saying tomorrow is easy… I was in a little bit of a healthy slump. IContinue reading “Then I painted my finger nails”
Summer starts…..Now!
As I sat at the airport yesterday, these words flowed from me and I shared them in my different FB groups that all originated from Weight Watchers in one shape or form… 86400 seconds…one day…fleeting moments…what do we latch onto? Vacation is over..we’re at the airport waiting to board our plane. I’m choosing to leaveContinue reading “Summer starts…..Now!”
2 days until unofficial summer…eek
Well.. the scale sucks.. not really, it’s actually accurate. I’ve been riding a roller coaster since the whole 100 days to summer challenge began. Today I’m down net 1 lb from where I began.. but considering last week I was up 3 lbs .. I’ll take it. My food choices have been suspect. I haveContinue reading “2 days until unofficial summer…eek”
When the stranger shows up
I had an amazing weekend. Friday night a last minute decision for date night with hubby.. dinner and a live show “Get the Led Out” a Led Zeppelin inspired band. Awesome time, delicious food, great music. Saturday morning a heart pumping slightly painful #cko #tullytime workout.. felt a little twinge in my hamstring during aContinue reading “When the stranger shows up”
When the volcano blows
I hear the rush of water from a distance growing louder and louder the closer I get. It’s exciting and peaceful at the same time. I arrive at the base of the falls and the rush of the water catches hold of me. I find myself lost in the movement and the frenzy yet IContinue reading “When the volcano blows”
Reflections
It’s inevitable. As much as I tell myself I am not going to do that thing at the end of the year and “reflect”… I think it is just human nature to take stock in ourselves every so often. And since the rest of the world is screaming new year, re-set.. well it’s a littleContinue reading “Reflections”
