Turning 59

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”

Weighing me down…

So summer is winding down and I’m sitting here looking in the rear view mirror. It seems like just yesterday that I was all gung ho and starting my 100 days to summer challenge.

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?”

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”
