Need I Say More?

Of course I will. Never did I meet a quote that I could let stand alone. When this one flashed across my newsfeed this morning I thought Hmm…what a novel idea…duh. Of course you’re going to find yourself in a new place if you do something you’ve never done. What a great motivator to . . . → Read More: Need I Say More?

The Rest of God

I love mornings. News on the telly playing low in the background, sitting in my recliner next to my open back door, iPad on my lap with a hot cup of good coffee within easy reach completes the picture.

The Birthday Tide Has Passed

The birthday tide has washed over me with its warm wishes and fun activities and the first day of being 61 is now upon me. My day started with news on opposite ends of the spectrum.

I Never Knew That

Eleven years ago I began strength training when I got my diagnosis of severe osteoporosis. The doctor told me the medicine would stop the bone loss, but the only way to reverse it was to put weight on my bones. So, one who never exercised in her entire life, made her way to the gym . . . → Read More: I Never Knew That

This morning in my Koko workout the chest press exercise said put on 50 pounds. That went well. I’ve been doing 50 for awhile now. Then it came around again in the second rotation. This time it said 60 pounds. I felt my face make a what! expression. A little fear surged through me. A . . . → Read More: Potential
