We all know that being overweight is an unhealthy state for our bodies, not just as we age, but all throughout our lives.  Heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, joint and movement problems…and on and on; these are but a few of the troubling health issues that the overweight and obese contend with daily.
Now there [...]

WOW…well over a month since I posted to my blog! I guess another apology is in order…this time for human error rather than technical difficulties! It’s kind of like the cobbler’s kid having no shoes; a writer never gets time to write her own “stuff” when she’s busy writing everyone else’s!

For those of you who [...]

Two nights in a row of insomnia.  It’s currently 4:18 a.m.  I think exhaustion and my Sleepy Time Tea may finally be kicking in (that and an hour of reading Facebook posts and email).
I think part of my problem has to be brain overload.  I’m reading soooooooooooooooooooo much about treating cancer the natural way that [...]

Years and years ago, Jim (my ex-husband and close friend) and I were people watching.  I commented, “Have you noticed that, even though all of us have the same things to work with (eyes, nose, ears, mouth), none of us look the same?”  It’s quite amazing, I think!  Now it’s a running joke between us [...]

If you, like me, grew up a child of the 60’s and 70’s, you’re familiar with the song evoked by the title of this post.  Unlike the signs in the song, however, the “signs” I’ve seen of late are of a more positive nature.  Like the author of that song, I also feel a strong [...]

Day three in my new “home”…

Many boxes and containers have been emptied, which is always a little like opening presents. It’s fun to find things you forgot about, re-read notes stuffed inside a book or just find something that makes you wonder…”why the hell did I keep that”?

I’ve gotten tired easily these past couple [...]

Somewhere recently I read that on the date of your birthday each month you should do something you’ve never done before to celebrate all year long.   I thought that sounded like a cool idea; and when I began to try and think about things I’d be willing to do that I’d never done before, it [...]
