Holidays! I love most of them

What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite? I will start with Valentine’s Day! It’s the day I became engaged to my husband so it will always be special because of that. This year we went to a dance and my husband and I danced away the night. St. Paddy’s Day. Although inContinue reading “Holidays! I love most of them”

Another Camping Trip

I think this topic triggered some funny and fond memories. As I mentioned. In my last post, I traveled around the US camping in national parks. One night while camping in Yellowstone, our group of four sat around our campfire planning the next few days of our adventure. Without warning we heard this noise almostContinue reading “Another Camping Trip”

My Last. Camping Trip

Have you ever been camping? Back in 1976, I traveled around the US for two months camping in many National Parks. From Shenandoah to Mount Ranier, my two-man backpack tent was all I needed. So skip to 50 years later, I have this great idea to go camping again. We bought a two-man tent andContinue reading “My Last. Camping Trip”

Productivity

When do you feel most productive? It depends on what I’m doing. . When I was younger, my most creative and productive moments came between the hours of 1am and 3am. All was quiet and I could hear myself think. My mind was allowed to freeflow through insights, beliefs and truths. When I worked asContinue reading “Productivity”

It’s fun and engaging. It also expands the mind because we are not locked into our preconceived notions. I don’t watch news that only supportsContinue reading “Everything and Nothing”

Packing Cubes

A few years ago a friend introduced me to packing cubes. She told me how she could get so much more in her suitcase, her clothes were less wrinkled than just laying them flat, and that she could pull them out, open the cube, and place it in a drawer. And all this was true.Continue reading “Packing Cubes”

Risk or No Risk

Describe a risk you took that you do not regret. Many years ago I met a man. We had conversation and he was very nice. He was well spoken and smart. One day I ran into him at my daughter’s school. She was 11. I said hi to him and making small talk, I askedContinue reading “Risk or No Risk”

My Sister Linda

Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently? I’m not sure how to address this since often I took action and regretted it. Often I needed to pause before I responded. But mostly this is with words. But let me think back. Last year myContinue reading “My Sister Linda”

Mostly worms

What makes you nervous? Nervous? Sometimes everything. Sometimes nothing. When I’m getting ready to go on a roller coaster at Universal Studios I can feel my stomach do a little flip flop. But I actually love the thrill! When I was a kid and knew I had to present an oral book report in school,Continue reading “Mostly worms”
