I’ve gained weight. A few pounds, nothing life shattering. It is of my own doing born directly from the choices I have been making lately. It is not hindering my abilities to do the things I love, but it is making some clothing less flattering. Now I could hide away and be concerned with howContinue reading “If we look each other in the eye”

A view from the cab(s), not yellow – Fire Tower
At the end of August I accompanied some of my hiking friends to the Catskills to hike the Red Hill Fire Tower. They had all committed to completing the #firetowerchallenge, I just wanted to hike on a gorgeous day in the Catskills.. I journal every hike, a glimpse at my notes reveal: beautiful day, perfectContinue reading “A view from the cab(s), not yellow – Fire Tower”
Just for the sake of doing it
I am not a competitive person. I do not have what one would consider an addictive personality, nor am I reward driven which is why I find it surprising at how many times I have allowed myself to be sucked into “streaks”. I am a lifetime Weight Watchers member.. so if you are familiar withContinue reading “Just for the sake of doing it”
Hearts of Stone
I see hearts….everywhere… Sometimes I can’t tell if I see the hearts because I’m so full of love or I am desperate to feel a certain kind of love. Sometimes I wonder if they are about love at all. Maybe they are signs to keep going on my path, I’m headed in the right direction.Continue reading “Hearts of Stone”
Someplace I never should have been
The scale is up. And while I am not one that is driven by the scale, when the scale and my body are in alignment that is when I must face the music. Music is a huge part of my daily life… often times in life I find myself deep in song lyrics; every dayContinue reading “Someplace I never should have been”

My peaceful state of mind is important to me and I work hard to reside there as often as possible. This world however has decided to try andContinue reading “You can’t steal my peace”
The power of a really cute bathing suit
In 30 days I will be 57 years old.. sheesh I remember when almost 60 was sooooo old.. Well not anymore folks. This gal does not feel old. Fairly decent/healthy living has helped, especially these last 10 years.. early on, perhaps not so much.. but hey young and carefree so what did it matter? AsContinue reading “The power of a really cute bathing suit”
The Evergreen Tree
Waking to the sound of the hummingbird buzzing outside my window. It is spring time and everything is green. The view from our wrap around porch always beckons me. The grass, the bushes, the trees, front and center the huge evergreen sits queen of the forest. A little chill in the air, I go insideContinue reading “The Evergreen Tree”
Through my lens
Hiking has become a huge passion of mine. I began hiking many years ago with my friend Cynthia who lives in Arizona. My hikes were basically limited to the time I spent there but it became a regular part of my visits. I was hooked, the juxtaposition of the bustling city on one side andContinue reading “Through my lens”
No resolutions, no regrets
Good morning. January 31 – already.. That went by very quickly. I sat on day one thinking about what is most important and made a bullet point list of items. I did not set resolutions but rather considered my life and what it is that I would like to have more of as part ofContinue reading “No resolutions, no regrets”
