2021-03-13 The Variable Speed of Time

Life. Funny the way it is. Short. Long. Boring. Overwhelming. Joyful and full of pain. The time we have is a gift and yet we often waste it in so many ways. Time is a major undercurrent in many of my poems and essays. It’s a theme that shows up subtly whether that’s what is…
2021-03-10 News Too New to Process…

Yesterday’s brief topic was about no news being good news. So of course the Universe responded right away. It was quite literally 10 minutes after I posted (and was ramping up for my cardio) that I answered a phone call from my mom asking if I could take her to the ER. I will say…
2021-03-09 No News Must Be Good News.. Right?

I feel like I don’t have much to say. I felt the same way yesterday. I can’t help but notice that the last few days have been good days. The mood has been positive despite my period showing up three days early and I’m doing good with my goals and have had a nice balance…
2021-03-07 Checking It and (Mostly) Not Wrecking It ❤️💤☯️ ✔️✔️✔️

It’s Sunday again and I’m up early and checking my stats. I changed things up for the month of March so this is my first week evaluating new measures. For exercise I’m still keeping tabs on my step count but also trying to improve my heart function by making sure I get some good cardio…
2021-03-05 Prepping for a Celebratory Weekend 🎁🎉🎂🎉❤️

It was a good run.. a 33 day streak of posting to this blog. And the day before yesterday I was gonna lose my step streak and declared “no way in hell I’m losing my blogging streak.” Guess I forgot to knock on some wood and the Universe said “that’s ehat you think.” What DID…
2021-03-03 Ohhhh, the Irony….

It’s the 3 year anniversary of the day I met my husband. I’ve barely seen him today. I cooked his breakfast and left it on the counter for him to find when he was done getting ready for work. By then, I was already gone — I had to leave to taxi my son to…
2021-03-02 In Like a Lamb?!… 🐑🔜🦁

March.. I think the saying is supposed to be “In like a lion and out like a lamb.” *** According to the Farmers’ Almanac, the weather folklore stems from ancestral beliefs in balance, meaning if the weather at the start of the month was bad (like a roaring lion), the month should end with good…
2021-03-01 Welcome to New Beginnings…

Where was I at again? A new week? A new month? A fresh start? Oh yeah.. that. So far so good and pretty soon now both my kids will be home and all will be right with the world again. It was 2:45PM before I looked at what I was supposed to do today according…
2021-02-28 Looking Back to Improve the Future… 🗓 ✅🚫⏰

It’s the last day of the month and the last day of the week AND the last day of my little experiment to untether myself from my phone. You know what that means? It’s time for the ultimate Sunday status. First off.. I’ve already been analyzing “stats” for about 50 minutes of today’s walk so…
2021-02-27 Three Days Rolled into One

Yesterday felt like two or three days long. Waking up just past two and milling about in the middle of the night and eventually meeting with the normal morning routine felt like day 1. Day 2 was going to a yoga class and returning home to house chores and a bunch of stuff for the…
2021-02-26 Dealing With Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde

I’ve been awake since before 3am. What time I don’t know because I’ve been told looking at the clock is waking up my brain. Ok. So the first time I looked at the clock was about 3:15am. It’s not the light of the clock waking up my brain. I’m pretty sure my brain does that…
2021-02-25 Trials By Fire 🔥

It’s early and I don’t want to be up. I also don’t want to lay in bed for one more damn minute thinking about all the things and stuff. My desire to keep the schedule I’ve set myself for today ends at about 11:30am. I’m not particularly excited about going to CB today. I’m actually…
