Inspired by Bloggers
Before this blog was a reality, while still in the planning stages, someone asked me if I ever read blogs. That was a great question! My answer was no. I mean, I had read a few blogs but did not really follow any or read any blogs regularly other than news blogs. I remember asking…

Little League Soccer :)
What things give you energy? I’m sitting here this morning with my huband, mom, and daughter, watching my grandson and his teammates chase the soccer ball from one end of the field to the other. The ball slices through the cool crisp air until another young set of legs stops its drive. It brings a…

Sad Songs Make Me Cry
What would your life be like without music? Sometimes, on sad days, I like to cry it out by listening to sad songs. One of my favorite sad songs is “Tears in Heaven” by Eric Clapton. When I’m cleaning, I like to listen to Miranda Lambert songs. “Little Red Wagon” is a fun one. It…

Turn That Frown Upside Down
This morning I woke up feeling depressed. It is a feeling like no other. I won’t go into details about how I felt, buy I am blessed to have a husband who cares enough to sit right there and listen to my unreasonable rantings. My father died in January, but I feel I am just…

Keep a Journal
Time moves so fast. And your memory fades over time. The details of your life, over time, become less and less easy to recall. One of my friends became an author. She has kept a journal her entire life, which was very helpful to her when she wrote her first book. I just wish I…

Serendipity
Last night, Joe and I took a last-minute drive east of town. We captured this beautiful sunset over the Sawtooth mountains to the west. The narrow horizontal line in the middle of the image is the Snake River meandering through town, catching the reflection of the setting sun. I love moments like this!!

I Run…
How often do you walk or run? Every. Single. Time… I am chased by a bear!! 😉 They say anxiety may be caused by having too much cortisol in your system, like your body’s autonomic system is in constant “fight or flight” mode, which encourages your body to release the cortisol hormone. It is as…

Kerfuffle
What’s your favorite word? Isn’t that a fun word to say! It is a humorous sounding word for a not so humorous situation. It means commotion or fuss, especially one caused by conflicting views. I’m guessing there will be a kerfuffle or two in families over the next few weeks as we approach the “voting…

It’s Life
What are you doing this evening? Watching the presidential debate between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. Nothing earth-shattering to report. In my opinion, if an Independent was watching, I doubt they were swayed one way or the other. I’m also thinking of my dad. Today would have been his 85th birthday. He…

His Bark Was Bigger Than His Bite
Why do you blog? I like to blog for the challenge of filling the blank canvas (screen) with a thought or two. Plus, I love seeing the words fill the page. Back in 2010, I started a blog because my friend and I were walking and talking and laughing and I said that we should…

Good Habits, Best Results
What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life? I don’t do as many good daily habits as I know I should for better health and attitude. Oh sure, I get up early, shower, and brush my teeth every day before heading off to work. The things I want to do are:…

Morning!
What’s your favorite time of day? Easy. Anyone who knows me very well knows I love mornings! The air is cool and crisp…well, not so crisp in the dog days of summer, but still cooler than midday in mid summer. 😎 Mornings are when everything good happens, like the start of a trip, a morning…
