Off The Grid

This past week a really good friend of mine gave up her cable. While that is admirable, I could never do that. Most of you know me as a pop culture fiend and if anything should pop in our culture and I missed it, it would be devastating to me. (Why? I don’t know, but . . . → Read More: Off The Grid

Do Something Day

On the way home tonight I heard a commercial on the radio and it was talking about “do something days”. You know, like Clean Out The Fridge Day” or “Take Your Cat To Work Day”? Then it complained that every day was a “do something day”.

Negotiating the Bourne Rotary, I thought what’s wrong . . . → Read More: Do Something Day

Another Day of Sunday

Waking up today I slowly realized it was Tuesday. That’s how it always is after a weekend – especially one that afforded me another day of Sunday. In examining the order of my days M-F is filled with exercise, yoga, writing, drawing, meetings, various responsibilities and friends. Saturday and Sunday I slide off that grid . . . → Read More: Another Day of Sunday

Drizzle

Today was a drizzly start to the Memorial Day weekend. 47 degrees with a cold mist spitting from the gray clouds. And we had Red Sox tickets. Normally I would be hesitant to do this in that kind of weather, but we had clubhouse seats so I knew I wouldn’t have to brave the cold . . . → Read More: Drizzle

Forget Your Age; Live Your Life

Recently I had my hair spritzed with red again, so when I entered the the Koko Fit Club this morning fit coach Amanda commented on how cute it was and wasn’t it purple last month?

What’s The Risk?

What’s the risk is a question I should be asking myself more often when fear strikes. One of my greatest fears as a beginning artist is the blank page. Before I even put the pencil to the page thoughts of screwing it up are racing through my brain. I get over it. I put the . . . → Read More: What’s The Risk?

Haha! I’m Younger!

Haha! I’m younger is the second thing I said to my dear friend, Donna, this morning after wishing her a happy 60th birthday. She said I wasn’t far behind her – and I’m not – I turn sixty in August. But that does make me younger, doesn’t it?

My friend is my hero. We . . . → Read More: Haha! I’m Younger!

15 Days

It’s been 15 days since I’ve done any yoga or exercise and today was the day to begin again. This morning I went to fit club and the workout was good, but my e-BMI (Body Mass Index) was amazing – after 15 days napping and sitting. It was 29.3. I’ve never fallen below 29.7. I . . . → Read More: 15 Days

One of the fun parts of writing a daily blog is you know that for ever how many years you wrote it, you can go back and see what you wrote about on exactly this day, however many years ago you choose. One might ask what would be the purpose of doing that?
