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”

Mannequin…Marionette…Man…

You showed up in full force again yesterday. There was music playing and then it was gone. Instead, I found my mind wandering back to that day. I don’t live in that state. I shouldn’t have even be there. I’ve never been on that highway before and likely never will again. We were driving alongContinue reading “Mannequin…Marionette…Man…”

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. Increased strength, consistency, stamina, speed and agility were my main goals. Weight loss wasn’t a priority, but I really thought thereContinue reading “Weighing me down…”

How did I get here?

I went for a hike Saturday morning with a few of my hiking friends who will be doing the Mammoth March in upstate NY this summer with me. We chose an easy trail for speed at a local preserve and combined trails to form our own route. Along the trail on 3 separate occasions inContinue reading “How did I get here?”

100 days to summer….meh… who cares

Good morning…full disclosure until I searched google this morning I had no idea this poem which I learned in grade school was born from such a renowned author… HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW There was a little girl, Who had a little curl, Right in the middle of her forehead. When she was good, She was veryContinue reading “100 days to summer….meh… who cares”

61 Days to summer challenge.. angles

I saw an interview with Harry Styles where he said a friend had given him the best advice..it was something like this: always remember nothing anyone says about you is real.. if they say you are the best, it isn’t true, if they say you are the worst, it isn’t true. So since I lastContinue reading “61 Days to summer challenge.. angles”

70 days until summer…I am but human

So I was on a roll, in a rhythm, exercise – check, sleeping well – check, good food choices 80/20 – check; scale was down 3lbs and holding and then wham… life… and I face planted, literally and figuratively. Got an email my 7am #cko class was canceled and instead of going to another locationContinue reading “70 days until summer…I am but human”
