Where seeds of thought have room to grow

Maybe it was because of all that "Kendall's-birthday" cheesecake I ate this week…or maybe because my friend Liane popped in this morning after her workout at the new Snap Fitness in town, sharing some tips and motivation…whatever the reason, I felt it was time to pump up my workout today. I usually listen to either U2 or…

The weatherman told me this morning it would be another 100+ day, so as soon as the sunlight brushed the hilltops, I stepped outside and called the boys for our walk. Frankie was ready, but Max and Charly were no where to be seen. They'd had the same idea as me, apparently…Walk early, before the hollow…

Well, it wasn't the ending we hoped for, but finishing up second in the State soccer tournament (for the third time) is pretty dang good. I like blue, but red is still one of my favorite colors. Saturday everything fell into place – the rainclouds that had delayed earlier games moved out of the way,…

Chasing dreams, making them come true…Sacrificing your time, traveling to another country to make a real difference in someone's life…That's what two of my fellow 50-year-olds are doing right now. Me, on the other hand…well, I'm living vicariously through them thanks to Facebook and blog pictures and postings because I've spent way too many days…

TG's soccer team clinched the title of STYSA Western Division champs yesterday. My soccer mom days are winding down, but they're going out in style at the State tournament this coming weekend! The Western Division tournament this past weekend was like the fireworks before the grand finale. The games scheduled for Saturday were rained…

Wouldn't you know…I go months without having to go to the doctor, and just when a pandemic is sweeping the world and the news, I get a headache that won't go away and hurts enough for me to go sit in a waiting room full of sick people? Thank goodness no one was coughing. But…

I've had a headache, as in aching head, for over 24 hours now – not a constant pain, but one of those knife-jabbing off and on jolts just behind my ear. Tom's concerned, which I appreciate. He wants me to see a doctor, which turns out to be another headache. Tom's insurance carrier changed last year. The…

I spent most of Saturday thinking I had a good grip on the day…up early, coffee with the dogs, a good work-out, several episodes of Rick Steves trekking all over Europe -it's public television fundraising time- including the corner of Spain and Southern France that Kendall visited in person last month, even some writing…all before mid-afternoon.…

Okay, this morning I realized I'm too old (that's right, I said it!) to function for very long without adequate sleep. Theoretically, it seems like a great idea, and it's worked for me in the past: skimp on sleep, use the extra hours to write or take care of whatever else is screaming for attention at…
