Friday April 10, 2020 I like a little morning fog. Not the dense fog where you can’t see 3 feet in front of you. A light layer that just makes the morning feel mystical. It creates an unusual mood and for whatever reason it also seems to keep fair weather walkers at bay. Again, I’m …
Thursday April 9, 2020 Sometimes we just need to listen to our bodies. This morning the interior side of my right ankle and the left side of my SI-Joint were giving me some grief. These are my week points and I have a number of ways that I combat them. I take daily walks, rotate …
Wednesday April 8, 2020 For whatever reason, I literally had to drag myself out of bed this morning. Baxter was moving slower than normal too. Chalk it up to being Wednesday, or “hump day” as they say. Nevertheless we persevered and pushed on to complete today’s walk. We got out early and are ready to …

April 3, 2020 During our walk this morning it occurred to me just how amazing native plants are. They fit the very definition of resiliency. Each year they bounce back after their winter slumber and if we humans pay attention we can watch them come back to life with a spectacular show of blooms. I’m …
April 2, 2020 My husband and I are both animal lovers. They have always been a part of our lives. From the time we were children thru adulthood, our fur babies played an important role giving us many cherished memories. As parents we raised our own kids with a menagerie of animals that included dogs, …
April 1, 2020 Like many I am a creature of habit and sometimes resistant to change. Even though I considered myself an agent of change in my professional life. It’s easy to get used to a routine and can be comforting to stick to it. It’s safe to keep things the same. But recently all …
March 31, 2020 Today’s walk was all about finding some solitude on the beach. My usual walking buddy Baxter tucked his tail in despair when he learned he was not going out today. I don’t like to leave him behind but I needed the slower pace and the opportunity to do some beach combing. We …
