Happiness gently landed on my shoulders

December 2020

  • Oh the naïveté of life. We make our plans, we think we just keep movin’ on from what we are doing today…this week…this month….we anticipate with gusto tomorrow, next month, next year and we expect them to be status quo. Here’s an excerpt from last years blog from the last day. “What will happen is Read more

  • Authenticity

    Being vulnerable is not a sign of weakness or the enduring fear that there is something wrong with me. Allowing authenticity and vulnerability to surface is actually an indication of knowing who I am and making no apologies for who I am. In fact, by being authentic, I save myself that inner discomfort that someone Read more

  • Opinions and perspectives

    Just a few days after I assumed the geese were rounding up their belongings and moving on to where ever these geese winter, I wake this morning to….. In a lesson in perspective this afternoon, I was up on the deck taking this video when the basement door opened and he strolled out to see Read more

  • When the kids leave home

    When my youngest daughter left for college, I was so excited for her adventure and her success. The next day I wondered what I was going to do with myself for the next 40 years. Most little girls born in the 50’s or 60’s usually know what they are to do. Get married, have kids Read more

  • Cows

    I have always loved cows….in fact, I have no idea how I could still be eating them but I can’t go there right now. My grandma had Jersey cows for milking…I always thought they had adorable faces Amongst my many collections of “things” that have come and gone was my cow collection which I finally Read more

  • What is the Question?

    I think the real question we need to ask each other and ask ourselves is this…..wherever we are in chronological age, do we have the same moral compass, the same opinions about other humans, race, sex, love and war that we did even a decade ago. How often and what exactly is the process for Read more

  • A day in the life of 2020

    I’ve joined a zoom Strength Builders class that meets on Monday and Thursday mornings. For the last two weeks, I’ve been walking with a slight bend at the waste. I believe this 1) is not natural for most women my age; and 2) this evidence that I accepted the invitation in the nick of time! Read more

  • CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

    I spent a lot of time this morning working through some friendship issues…..TOO DRAMATIC. I used my time this morning centering myself and releasing my attachments to outcomes and reining in my ego. My ego thought it was going to be a great day because I was loaded for bear and I felt very satisfied Read more

  • Our life with Goovi

    Goovi has made her home on this planet in our dining pod because it was the only place I could find enough clearance for the runway aka her “driveway” to reach home. She needs 6 feet because quite frankly she is a horrible driver. I had this really good idea when she first came to Read more

  • Hey, HEY!

    Notifications from our ring camera at the front door drive me bonkers! It’s probably really not fair to judge it’s efficiency during the pandemic because no one comes to the door. Only one guy who rang the doorbell and hung around on the sidewalk waiting for an answer while not being able to miss the Read more
