Just …A Quiet, Pensive Day

Today was a quiet day, without a lot of the usual hustle n’ bustle of household upkeep. Watching the aftermath of Aurora on Sunday Morning, and the taking down of Jo Pa’s statue, just set a pensive tone for the day.

In the afternoon my husband and I went down to the canal and . . . → Read More: Just …A Quiet, Pensive Day

Aurora

Once again I sit here stunned at yet another shooting. The theater shooting yesterday in Colorado is hitting everyone hard today. Watching that mother talk about waking up and knowing something was wrong with her daughter, texting her, the daughter telling her she’s fine and to go back to sleep, and then waking to the . . . → Read More: Aurora

Umm…no, Mom!

Fourth of July weekend my daughters and I were getting ready to hit the beach with our friends. I came out of my room dressed in my bathing suit. Daughter 1:

“Ummm…no, Mom. “ “What?” “No, Mom, not that bathing suit.”

So I went and put on another suit.

“Ummm… No, Mom.” “Come on, . . . → Read More: Umm…no, Mom!

The Problems of the Universe

This week my sister is here on vacation with me. Our favorite thing is to stand in the water on the sandbar at low tide and talk away the afternoon. I always call this “solving the problems of the universe”.

This morning I think we did it. We were discussing our choices for the . . . → Read More: The Problems of the Universe

Body 1, Mind – zee…ro

Proven! Mind control is essential to a positive class. Today’s class was exactly like Friday. Same teacher, hot, humid morning, and…me getting nervous about a bad class. I remembered my experience Friday where my mind won and resolved not to repeat that fiasco. As soon I entered the studio I set my intention. I knew . . . → Read More: Body 1, Mind – zee…ro

The Next Best Thing

I’m reading “The Next Best Thing”, Jennifer Weiner’s newest book. While it’s a slow mover, it is a good story and keeps my interest because the main character is a writer – for TV. It was all very interesting to see how shows are written and then finally make it onto our TV screen, but . . . → Read More: The Next Best Thing

S’ups

I saw my first S’up a year ago at the end of Scorton Creek. I was intrigued. I can do that, I thought. In fact, I want to do that. This year there were five S’ups right on my beach two days ago. Now it’s to the point where I HAVE to do that. The . . . → Read More: S’ups

The Anniversary Day

Today was simply our day. We started out taking the lawn mower up to Dennis for service and the day picked up speed from there. Next we found ourselves at the Riverway Cafe for lunch. This is a very special place. The Riverway School in Sandwich is for high school students with disabilities. The Riverway . . . → Read More: The Anniversary Day

Mind – 1, Body – 0

There is only one word to describe my yoga class today – TEDIOUS. Starting out the room was extra hot and humid. The teacher’s voice was slow and low. The set-ups took forreeever….. The poses took even longer. I gave in to standing a bit in standing head to knee. I came in late on . . . → Read More: Mind – 1, Body – 0

Today

Today started out like any other. At 7:30 am my husband called me and talked to me as he does every morning. He was in NY. I’m in Cape Cod. Except today was the day we have been married for 37 years. In past years I would’ve hated that we were apart on this day . . . → Read More: Today
