Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
We were in Minnesota for almost ten years, many years longer than I've lived anyplace my entire life. The state was a difficult one for us because we are Southern through and through and Minnesota is not. The first three years were spent with us freezing from the cold as well as the frosty reception... Continue Reading →
No one will know if I choose to drink a chocolate milkshake instead of a fruit and vegetable smoothie today. And no one will know if I decide to skip my workouts for the week. Of course, that milkshake is going to make the workout tougher to endure, if I do it at all. And... Continue Reading →
Recently our daughter visited the eye doctor, we thought she had an infection but it was simply an irritation, no big deal. I don’t normally go into the exam room with our girl anymore because she is old enough to communicate her needs at this point, but I was invited this time. Georgia has... Continue Reading →
I have mentioned before that I attend a dance class at my local gym a couple of times a week. What started out as an exercise in humility turned into a real workout where I have the opportunity to move in a way I rarely do in life. The instructor is my age but she's... Continue Reading →
I am not a morning person. I wish I could spring out of bed with a clear head and a smile on my face, but usually it takes me a while to even realize what day it is and what might be expected of me. After a cup or two of coffee, I'm in pretty good shape... Continue Reading →

Recently a friend called while my guy was taking a nap, so I went outside to talk to her for a few minutes so that he could sleep. While talking, I started pulling weeds in our backyard and stepped on a branch from the rose bush and a large thorn sunk deep into my heel.... Continue Reading →
When you look at the flowers at my front door, what stands out? Those big round yellow 'look at me, look at me' flowers? They will practically attack someone as they walk past to come inside. When I choose the flowers for the front, I go for color, not worrying about keeping things matching or... Continue Reading →
I recently finished a book called "Coming Clean" by Seth Haines. I won't say that it was an entertaining book because it was the 90 day journal of an alcoholic moving towards sobriety. Not exactly light stuff, but the writer has a way of drawing you in to his story and rooting for him to... Continue Reading →
Recently I got to spend some time with an old friend on the phone. She was my college roommate and we were inseparable for years. Now we are a 20 hour drive away from each other, and get to visit every other year on average. Steph is that friend who you have no interest in... Continue Reading →
