The big old oak tree

Yesterday they came and they took down the big old oak tree. Yes it was a pain, the acorns constantly dinging the cars, and the birds doing their daily bidding on these same cars. The leaves made quite the mess when they dropped in the fall. But that’s not why we took it down, sheContinue reading “The big old oak tree”

One day I just stopped caring

As a little girl I was sassy and confident. I was happy being me and didn’t have a care in the world especially how other people saw me. Then I began to grow up and it was during my teenage years in junior high that I began to let other people’s opinions start to impactContinue reading “One day I just stopped caring”

Through the years…

Good morning friends.. My upside down day landed right side up, with my hubby of 37 years by my side.. We enjoyed a lovely anniversary dinner, started off with a pitcher of sangria, there was a lovely view a lovely view, we shared the fried shrimp and calamari with chili sauce appetizer, I got theContinue reading “Through the years…”

Re-connecting

To obsess about something means to preoccupy or fill the mind of (someone) continually, intrusively, and to a troubling extent… I don’t obsess, but I do analyze examine methodically and in detail the constitution or structure of (something, especially information), typically for purposes of explanation and interpretation. This saves me from obsession. This morning aContinue reading “Re-connecting”

The very first time

My favorite line in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn was attributed to Grandma Mary Romley when she advises “to look at everything always at though you were seeing it for the very first or last time”. When it comes to certain things I find it is instinctive behavior. A sunset, I can sit and watchContinue reading “The very first time”

I recently returned from a week’s vacation in Nashville. Had a fabulous time with my husband and meeting up with friends who both live in the area and others who flew in for the day for a concert… yup that’s how it’s done sometimes! Balancing vacation with a healthy lifestyle sometimes becomes a tightrope. IContinue reading “Living a life-style”

Writing the script

As I am sitting here thinking about the changes that I will need to institute to get back into a schedule I realizeContinue reading “Writing the script”

It’s all weight related.

For the past four years. Every single day I logged into a health and wellness site called sparkpeople and made connections with others as part of my journey to maintain my weight loss, eat healthy and exercise regularly. Every day during this same time except for a handful of days I blogged about my day.. Continue reading “It’s all weight related.”

Good and Evil

Yesterday I spent the day in Sedona with a special friend, Cindy who lives in Arizona. We started our day at a coffee shop over looking the magnificent mountains. It was there we altered our original plans and decided to hike Devil’s Bridge instead of heading up to Oak Creek Canyon and the balance ofContinue reading “Good and Evil”

A clean slate…

So we are all, well most of us anyway, saying we need to heal as a nation. We need to support one another, we need to forgive and forget, we need to move on, we need a clean slate… Seems we want that healing but on our own terms. In Psalm 51:10 are the words:Continue reading “A clean slate…”
