I am a silly person. As a result of that, I quite often end up laughing at myself. I do not require an audience - I can be home alone and do something goofy, or uncoordinated, or have a tangential thought so strange that I will laugh. Being self-employed, with two school age children, means … Continue reading The Power of the Affirmation…#MondayBlogs

Running with Children…
WITH. Not from. 🙂 As I've written here previously, my Dad was my swim coach when I was young. When I reached high school, I decided (completely arbitrarily) to start running. I ran track - the longer distances. Speed was never my strong suit, but all of those years of swimming gave me endurance. Swimming … Continue reading Running with Children…
Life is Simple…
If I were my dad, that sentence would end with the words "people screw it up." Although I state it the same way a great deal of the time, I'm enjoying some simplicity. A busy work week, rising daily to run at 5:00 a.m., taking the family ice skating today since it's still spring break. … Continue reading Life is Simple…
Wellness Update and Book Hints…
So, as I mentioned a bit more than a week ago, I've been working diligently on "The Cancer-Free Trainer," a (sort of) sequel to "The Cancer-Free Gourmet." For those of you who have followed me for a while now, you probably know that my non-fiction comes from you. In other words, as other cancer patients, … Continue reading Wellness Update and Book Hints…
Tuesday Thoughts…The Challenge
We've had some ups and downs around here lately: nothing major, just growing pains of a sort. My daughter is now a teenager. If I allowed her to do so, she would remain in her room twenty four hours each day. Thankfully, she wants to read all day - so that's a good thing. But, … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts…The Challenge
Writer Wednesday…Jason Selk
Okay, it's not my usual review, I admit it. I read "10 Minute Toughness: The Mental Training Program For Winning Before the Game Begins." I'm not going to give an in-depth analysis this time. I'm going to explain it a bit differently: I find running on the treadmill BORING. I do. I come up with … Continue reading Writer Wednesday…Jason Selk
Thursday! Always More Gratitude…
I'm still loving everyone's photos for "throwback Thursday." One day, I may even post one. 🙂 We have been struck by the 110 degree weather now, so I have been relegated to indoor workouts (and swimming) only. I can't deny the convenience factor of being able to hop on the treadmill first thing in the … Continue reading Thursday! Always More Gratitude…
Belated Thursday…
A busy day entirely, and I made my way through the night with an every hour awakening - right at the half hour mark. It was such a relief to see hours closer to dawn when they came, I felt like celebrating. If my body refuses to sleep, I'd rather get out of bed at … Continue reading Belated Thursday…
Monday, Banana Bread, Painting, and Parties…
My children have a holiday from school this entire week. It's considered a "winter break." It is currently in the 80s outside, so I'm not feeling altogether wintry around here. My daughter is celebrating a friend's birthday today, and I baked a loaf of my banana bread for the birthday girl. I've never particularly cared … Continue reading Monday, Banana Bread, Painting, and Parties…
Tuesday Thoughts…Testing
After a great deal of thought, I've decided to re-certify as a personal trainer. So, today, after I finished my traditional work, I started re-reading my course materials and taking my online quizzes to see if I still remember anything. Haha! Happily enough, that information's retention was NOT damaged by chemotherapy. Thank goodness! Today's thoughts … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts…Testing
