Pictures of Sunsets
I'm not feeling like writing these days. I have nothing to write about but myself, and I am finding myself a subject lacking in allure. Everything is going fine, but I am having trouble mustering enthusiasm for anything but exercise. I still haven't made that damn purse.
So, here are… Read full post »
Club Mixes make great music for setting pace on a treadmill.
Endorphins have got to be the best thing ever invented.
I am still loving the exercise. Are you guys? I highly recommend it just for the feel good you get after a good sweat. Hoping tomorrow has another positive day in store for all of us. Read full post »
It's a Darn Good Day. Maybe It's a Good Life?
I have been having really good days for quite a while lately, and I am enjoying it. It is so amazing to come out the other side of depression. Enjoying being alive is not something I thought I was missing but apparently I was. Huh. *link*
My latest crush...
Losing Weight at 50- Day 5
Day 5 of my new lifestyle went very well. I had an excellent time at the gym and did well with my eating today. I was going to say that I saw someone that I would like to be like, but what I really need to do is to be the… Read full post »
Losing Weight at 50- Day 3
Day 3 and still going strong!
Another excellent gym experience here! I'm going to be IN SHAPE and HEALTHY!
Thanks for stopping by!
Losing Weight at 50- Day 1
Hi,
I have begun the journey to get fit at 50! Yay! Please join me as I go through these trials. The full story is on my blog at this website.
Thanks!
Today's workout!
Sally & Max
Sally stretched, luxuriating in the feel of the sun on her skin. It had been a long, cold winter, and she was more than ready for spring. In the meantime, this nice tropical resort would have to fill in. There was nothing like being close to the equator in January. Ah,… Read full post »
"I Really Hate To Tell You This..."
I have just been cruising on a good stream lately. Lovin' it!

An Excellent Day
I love feeling as though I have just had the most perfect day of my life. It may be the physical labor I performed creating endorphins. It may be the sunshine and fresh air resetting something in my chemical balance. It could be the sense of accomplishment from completing all of… Read full post »
My List...
Originally published at Our Salon...
Thanksgiving
Things to be thankful for:
1. Life
2. Health
3. No one in my family dying this year, though my sister’s cat, Sally, has passed away this week. R.I.P., Sally.
4. I still have my teeth, though they’re a bit sore at… Read full post »
Trust Yourself First
Another epiphinical moment. Is that a word? I think it is. I love working in my yard. It's very 'in the moment' kind of work.
Trust is a biggie. And not trusting yourself to make good decisions can really screw things up.
And have a wonderful day!… Read full post »
Time to Stop Talking and Start Doing, Again
I'm taking another step on the road to authentic living. I wish it were as easy as being inauthentic, but, I may end up with the positive benefit of having nothing else to complain about. If that's the case, I'll take it.
The Final Day of the Birthday Weekend
The last installment. Finally. I have to say, I am tired of my birthday, and my teeth hurt.
See you soon with a new topic! But not a new cat.

Birthday Monday- Three Fewer Trees
The Birthday Weekend- Saturday
As you may know, Open Salon cavitated yesterday. As a result, I posted at Our Salon.
I was trying to maintain two blogs last summer and it didn't work for me, I find putting the same blog in two places, that share so many of the same members, to be… Read full post »
Winding Up, Not Winding Down
Winding Up 50 Years of Life
As of 11:30 p.m. this coming Tuesday, not factoring in whether or not Daylight Savings Time existed in 1962 and whether or not I am actually at the same time as we were then even though I’m in the same… Read full post »
Driving Down Highways in the Dark

I am in a mood, and I don’t really know what it is. I am tense, a bit frantic feeling. A lot is going to happen this week. I will be turning 50, and we will be marking the first anniversary of my mother’s… Read full post »
Waiting for Results in My Race
Well, it's nail biting time. Four precincts have reported and I am, so far, in last place. With two seats pending and four candidates, that's not looking good.
My town, heck, my whole state, is heavily Republican. The top two right now are the Republican candidates, which suggests a lot of… Read full post »
I Voted- For Myself!
Miranda's Shadow (short fiction)
Miranda paused, poised for flight. A sound had reached her, a shadow had caught the corner of her eye.
"Let go of my eye, you damn fool," she whispered to the shadow. "How am I supposed to see what made that noise if you keep blocking my peripheral?"
"Oh, sorry, but… Read full post »
Waking up Early! Where's the Sun?
I woke up, it seemed
Not from a dream
To a time on the clock on the wall.
I turned on the 'puter

A Night on the Prairie

I don’t know how to start this. The night started with high expectations. I dressed for a date, with myself, yes, but with hopes of expanding the evening. I wished for a nice man to be my seatmate. I was happy to be there.… Read full post »
A Poem
Not hopeless enough to quit
Not caring enough to fight
Knowing what needs to be done
Wondering which
Is right.

To Be Loved For...
What Do I Want to be Loved For?
My horoscope for October 25, 2012, told me to start thinking of a plan to make one of my dreams come true. It said that even a small step would get me started down the track. I took… Read full post »
