I went running the other day. My running has changed so much over the years and I love how I now have no expectations of speed, time or distance. I am happy to be out there and enjoy nature. I stop when I need to or take a walk break. Aside from the cardio work-out […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday! The Easy Way to Bring Joy to Yourself and Others
February 25, 2021 by
When was the last time you received a handwritten letter or note? Bet it has been awhile. I love receiving unexpected notes or letters . Even if I know everything that is going on in that persons life it is always good to see familiar handwriting in my mailbox. You can bet it is the […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday…thankful for the mess
February 4, 2021 by
In the last four years you have read about my monumental task of cleaning out my parents house after my Dad died unexpectedly. At the same time we also had to move my mother into Assisted Living. Honestly much of that time is a blur in my memory. I am still dealing with some of […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday! What I learned from Betty’s weekly hair appointment!
July 27, 2017 by
One of my earliest memories is my Dad making dinner for us on Friday nights. He only cooked on Fridays because that was when Mom was at the hairdresser for her weekly appointment. I probably remember those dinners so well because Dad only cooked two things: Scrambled eggs or Tuna glop. I believe the ” […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday! Forever and Always My Baby You’ll Be!
October 27, 2016 by
All those parenting books never tell you the one truth that you have to figure out on your own. Parenting never ends. No matter how old your children get, or how many amazing grandchildren they give you, you never stop being their parent. Nope! And it is all okay. We signed up for this gig […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday! The Boomerang Effect of Great Ideas!
October 20, 2016 by
So a couple of years ago I had this idea. I have no idea where it came from but it certainly came from a place of love. We had 5 of our 6 grandchildren in quick succession. One a year for 5 years ( 2 are only 5 months apart)! Whoa! I barely had time […]

Lots of changes have happened especially over the last few years. Gone are the banks of payphones and in […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday! Feeling a little stressed over the holidays..then it is time to…
December 10, 2015 by
“Disclaimer” Since I am dedicated to NOT make myself crazy I am being a good environmentalist and recycling a post that I wrote at this same time last year. I had to laugh when I reread it because my tree is up, lights on and once again it is surrounded by boxes of decorations….some things […]
It’s Thoughtful Thursday! It’s okay to just be and not fix anything
September 3, 2015 by
I spent time with my parents this past week. I went out of fear, out of necessity but mostly out of love. My parents are 88 yrs young. My Dad will be 89 this month. By all accounts they are doing amazing. Amazing as in I just taught my Dad how to download, open and […]
