Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Open up your junk drawer and show me how many gift cards you currently have. We have several cards from our favorite local restaurants, and yet we go to other places for dinner and pay full price. I just found two Visa gift cards in my wallet that have less than $20 combined, no idea... Continue Reading →
Our grandson hurled a new book at me one day last week and sat down hard in my lap, his way of saying, "Read to me!". I think reading to children is always kind of magical, everyone sits close to see the pictures and no one gets into trouble, and there's always a happy ending.... Continue Reading →
This year I became a grandmother, so the genre of some of the books I read is changing. I read a couple of books about caring for a new Mom, and they are listed here, as well as fewer books than normal. Turns out I'd rather hold a baby than read a book! These are... Continue Reading →
I started taking Pilates classes at the beginning of this year. Some friends sang the praises of it, and our trainer told me that it would probably be really good for me, because I have problems with hypermobility.

Recently my guy and I attended a gala for the Children's Hospital, a night to get dolled up and raise money for a good cause. I had heard that this was an especially dressy occasion, so I bought a silver glitter dress that I had been eyeing for a while. The night of the event,... Continue Reading →
Last week a friend and I visited a museum downtown, there was a temporary exhibit on Light that we were both interested in, so we took the afternoon to do something a little different. I have never regarded myself as artistic or particularly creative, so for me viewing art and seeing light and color tends... Continue Reading →
I am trying to spend more time reading what I want to learn more about, or just what I enjoy. I took these off of my Kindle, it seems to be the only way I read anymore. For 2018, I want to read more, I have three books piling up now. If you have any... Continue Reading →
