10 Years From Now

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? Oh boy! That’s a hard one. I will be in my 89s if I am fortunate to live that long. In all seriousness, if I am in good shape I hope to be active. Hiking, traveling, doing the things I do now. Maybe I will travel lessContinue reading “10 Years From Now”

5 Things That Bring Joy

Family brings joy. Even with craziness, arguments, loudness, and sometimes hurt feelings, there is nothing like family to bring out the best in life. Faith brings joy. Because even when life is a little touch-and-go, God has my back. All I have to do is spend some quiet time in prayer and meditation to bringContinue reading “5 Things That Bring Joy”

A Positive Change

Describe one positive change you have made in your life. One major change which I believe was cataclysmic to my being who I am today is that I stopped drinking. During my youth, my 20s and most of my 30, alcohol had been my best friend and then my worst enemy. It came before myContinue reading “A Positive Change”

Exercise!

What’s the most fun way to exercise? You know I’m one of those people who always love to exercise. Whether it’s doing a class at a gym, using weights, or power walking, I find it all exhilarating. As I’m getting older water aerobics has been a go-to exercise. It’s less strain on the joints andContinue reading “Exercise!”

Meditation

What book could you read over and over again? I have a meditation book from a 12 step program called Daily Reflections. I have been rereading this book for many years. It’s the way I start each day. With a thought; a reflection. Something positive which I can reflect back on as the day startsContinue reading “Meditation”

Homeward Bound

A wake-up call at 3:30 am and a drive to the Prague Airport at 4 am to catch our flight home. The first leg was Prague to Zurich. The airport was dead. We spent time in a lounge waiting for our flight. The food was really strange. Cheeses, salami, and other cold cuts. Beetroot spreadContinue reading “Homeward Bound”

Our Last Day in Prague

We started with the morning buffet at the Grand Mark Hotel and then ventured out to explore more of Prague. Our first stop was the Church of Our Lady Before Tyn. They are having a concert here later today. It’s a bit chilly inside these churches. The next stop was St. Jakob Basilica. It wasContinue reading “Our Last Day in Prague”

Prague Old Town

Today we started our day with a buffet breakfast at the Grand Mark Hotel. I had delicious waffles, but then I wasn’t feeling well. We took it easy in the morning, then headed over to Old Town, which was just down the block from our hotel. The Easter Markets, similar to Christmas markets, were inContinue reading “Prague Old Town”

Prague

We woke to sunshine and chilly weather. The temperature was about 44 degrees which for us is very cold. Breakfast is included in our hotel stay so we went to the restaurant. It had a winter garden so we could feel like we were outside but protected from the cold. We headed over to PragueContinue reading “Prague”

Traveling By Train To Prague

This is where we feel a bit old. Bruce and I each had a large suitcase and a small roller bag that connected to it. It was way too much weight for us. But I’m getting ahead of myself. We had breakfast at the hotel and then took a taxi to the train station. WeContinue reading “Traveling By Train To Prague”
