This week, I'm trying to find the artist in me, so yesterday, I grabbed my camera, my real canon camera, not just my phone (it's been a long time since I've done this), the dog, my jacket and we went for a nice nature walk. I stopped and got in weird positions (the leash was... Continue Reading →
Life Purpose
I've been thinking about Life purpose for a while now... Well, like my whole life, really. I think about my personal purpose. Why am I here? What is my significance? What am I supposed to be doing? Do I even a purpose? Do any of us? Is there really some big plan? Is there one... Continue Reading →
Healthy(ier) eating
I'm really trying to get my health going in the right direction again... one meal at a time. I'm not going to lie, it's not easy. You know what is easy? Running down the street to Culver's, or downtown for Mexican, or Italian... But... it's easier on my pocketbook and my cholesterol if I cook... Continue Reading →
Birdsong…
This morning as I sat in my chair by the big picture window, tea in hand, I watched as three birds landed on the recently filled bird feeder. I tried to catch a photo but of course, when I moved my arm they flew away. (This photo was in the afternoon as I was writing... Continue Reading →
None of that matters…
Yesterday, DH and I visited the Auschwitz exhibit. It was so moving. The website said to plan for 120 minutes... they were a little off... we spent 3.5 hours there. I just felt like I needed to look at each and every photograph, listen to each story thoroughly. I owed it to the those who... Continue Reading →
Traditions
I'm sitting here this morning in the quiet of the house, before anyone else is up, watching the sunrise behind the Christmas tree. It's beautiful. The pinks and purples and reds... It's just... magnificent. Isn't it beautiful! It's distracting me from my post but what a beautiful distraction... I want to keep taking photos as... Continue Reading →
Thanksgiving
Did you have a wonderful Thanksgiving or was it a difficult day for you? Or maybe it was some of both? Mine was the later, some of both. I had a beautiful day with DH and DD but I had little pockets of sadness too. We got rid of cable in October and have been... Continue Reading →
Memories
This morning I ran across an advertisement about creating story books of your life and I was reminded of a book DD gave me several years ago, called, "The Story of my Life". It has prompts for me get the story inside me flowing. I haven't written in it in probably a year. When I... Continue Reading →
Getting my life back…
Y'all, I think I'm taking my life back... or maybe my life is taking me back... either way, I'm so glad. I've been leaving my phone... like when I go upstairs or downstairs, I don't even think about taking my phone! This is HUGE for me. I always have my phone near by in case... Continue Reading →
Do you meditate?
Well, my intention was to get back here on Wednesday but that's the day I get to spend with DD so... that didn't happen. Then I just knew it would be yesterday, Thursday, but, alas... it also didn't happen. So here we are today and I have no idea what I want to say. So... Continue Reading →
