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”

Six pack – I struggle finishing one beer

What is fit? The dictionary says – in good health, especially because of regular physical exercise. And what is “good health”? A google search provided this answer… about health in general: “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” I found myself freshlyContinue reading “Six pack – I struggle finishing one beer”

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”
