Through The Tulips

I sometimes have to ask myself where people get the idea that I’m this all-knowing computer guru. Granted, I know a little, or maybe even more than a little, but I’m by far no guru. Geek maybe, guru not. Just as I saved the last entry, I saw an email from my dear brother asking [...]

I have so much to talk about, but right now I need to head to the kitchen, pour myself a tall glass of Coke Zero, and head outside with the telephone so I can call one of my dearest gal pals, Julie. We haven’t talked in a while via the phone, and it’s time. She’s [...]

To know me is to know that I adore shopping, but as much as I do- there are some things that I don’t enjoy shopping for. Of course, those very things that are not ‘fun’ to shop for, are the very things that we need. Case and point- this morning I noticed while taking a [...]

There are some things in life that make me smile-  the photo below is one of them. There have even been times when I’ve had similar thoughts- but right now I know that every single day that I’m staying within my calorie ranges, that something great is happening within my body, and that’s something worth [...]

Before I head to the kitchen to serve myself dinner- My Gratitude List for May 26, 2009. Today I’m Grateful For: Last night’s storms not leaving us with any damage. New perspectives. The rains- which have lasted all day. Fresh vegetables. Conversations with people I love.

When I started this journey that I’m on to a healthier lifestyle- I thought that eating the right foods and getting the right amount of exercise would be all it would take for me to see the pounds fall off. Granted, I’ve lost quite a bit of weight, but those aren’t the only factors that [...]

I promised myself that I was going to spend some time outside reading today, and I’m headed off to do just that in a few.  It seems like I just sat down at the computer, and I see that three hours have passed in the blink of an eye.   That happens, especially when you spend [...]

In my abscence, I’ve been taking some time to tend my own garden, so to speak.  My emotional garden- something I’ve needed to do for quite some time, and haven’t taken the time to do it.   We really do have to take the time to ‘weed our gardens’, ridding ourselves of the negative and  not [...]

I’m sorry if I’m a little quiet these days.  I have alot going on in this head of mine, and I’m working on attempting to sort out the cobwebs.    Oddly, I’ve been feeling alone, but yet alone is just what I need at this time- so it’s an odd thing. I believe that sometimes we [...]

Earlier today when Marcel and I were having dinner, I was telling him how I couldn’t believe that next year will be my 25 year graduation from high school.   It’s hard to believe, especially since I know I still look 20, but it’s true.    Next year is also the year that Ainsley and Olivia- the [...]
