In a post not long ago, I mentioned a chubby chickadee hop hopping ahead of me as I walked down the hill. Such a smile it brought me as he seemed to be leading the way wanting to show me his discoveries. Children do… Continue Reading “Good things”

Usually, when we least expect it, something happens that slows the path we’re on. Often unwelcome. For me this week it’s been a mild illness – so mild it’s hard to name it, but enough to break up my rhythm and hinder my plans.… Continue Reading “Unexpected slowing”

The river near where we live is the color of iced tea – not because of pollution, because of tannins and a high iron content. As I looked out to the horizon, the water looked bluest blue. But when I looked to where it… Continue Reading “Rest”

Looking up I noticed light creeping through the window edges, the fringes of dawn. As I raised the curtains I smiled at the beginning of a new day. I’m a morning person; I love first light. I’m also a walking, hiking person. Give me… Continue Reading “No comparison”

Ahh, the mountains – for a flat land, at or below sea level girl, I just can’t stop smiling as we drive or hike or sit out back. In the car, those curves require slowing down, the back roads require a sharp eye. Our… Continue Reading “Be prepared…”

I love going for a walk. Fortunately I live a short distance from a nature area where I can see the fish jumping, the birds soaring, keep my eyes open for gators and snakes, and an assortment of wildlife here and there. An early… Continue Reading “Walk this way”

After a week away from me, my four year old grandson hugged my legs tightly, a week was too long. My closest friend lives across the country, our times together are few, we beg for time to slow down when we get together. Looking… Continue Reading “Together”

Ever had a toenail removed? Me either – til last night. An injury turned into a problem and, though I tried to ignore it for a couple of weeks, the pain caused an urgent care visit. In our crazy times, it’s hard to keep… Continue Reading “Don’t Swerve”

Ever walked into the men’s room by accident? Only once, and thankfully, nobody there. Since then I double check the sign as I enter. Walked into an unknown situation lately? With stomach jitters and looking for the exit. Many times we don’t notice where we’re going and many… Continue Reading “Walking In…”
