Some Things Are Better Left Unlearned
Are you a lifelong learner? I love to learn. I am drawn to intelligent people and people who notice things most of us go through life never even thinking about. Recently, my husband and I had a conversation about Voyager 1 and 2. It is incredible to think Voyager 1 travels at about 38,000 mph…

Where There Are Wide Open Skies
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Somewhere out west in a house with windows on all sides, placed at the top of a hill so that no matter where I look, I can see wide open skies. Early in our marriage, we lived in a condo on the top…

Mushrooms
What do you love now, that you hated when you were younger? My parents never cooked with mushrooms. The first time I tried them as an adult, they were on a salad. Raw. Ick! I still do not like to eat raw mushrooms. The second time I tried them, they were cooked on a pizza.…

Do you remember?
What’s your top tip to be successful in life? My top tip is don’t drink or do drugs. I can remember as an older teenager that I liked getting together with friends who liked to party. We always had fun, but the difference between me and them is that I could remember the dancing, fun…

Have a good REST of your day…. UGH!!
What’s a word or phrase that annoys you? Simply saying, “Have a good day,” (or morning, afternoon, or evening) is the appropriate way to say that phrase. It sounds silly, unprofessional, and like a poor use of the English language to add “…rest of your day…” When what is truly meant by that phrase is…

Plan perfect? Or perfectly plan?
How do you plan the perfect road trip? Most road trips are not perfect. They may be perfectly planned, but they are not always perfect. For instance, when I was two and a half years old, my parents perfectly planned a road trip to Seattle to visit a cousin. It was about a 12-hour drive…

The end result
How do you stay motivated when learning something new? I love learning! Sometimes, it is a challenge. To stay motivated, I keep the end in mind. And remind myself that learning new things takes time. The time will pass, and before long, the new thing will become something that is a part of my understanding…

Your Vote is Your Voice
Do you vote in political elections? We lived by this belief or mantra: “If you don’t vote, you have no room to complain about things you don’t like going on in the world politically.” I watched the example of my parents. They always voted. And shared their opinions freely. Not forcefully. Somewhat quietly. Let your…

After a Good Night’s Sleep
Anyone who knows me, knows I love mornings. I feel my best, think my best, and work my best at the start of the day. Just last week, I recognized something that I have always felt, but never really realized it until now. I had enjoyed a beautiful mostly productive morning. The time was approaching…
