Start living the life you imagine.
Last week as I was walking to work, noticing little things along the way as I always do, I spotted something quite different. As I passed a home in mid-block where I had crossed the street – yes I am a chronic jay-walker, rebel that I am – I noticed that someone, I assume a... Continue Reading →
Buddhist philosophy states that we cause our own suffering, and it’s true. We have all sorts of assumptions, expectations and beliefs in place of how things are supposed to be, and when reality doesn’t live up to that, we decide that we are unhappy. That’s the basics of being happy, folks. It’s really that simple.... Continue Reading →
And in a lot of ways, it's still not over. Hopefully we've found ways of coping with it. Or maybe we're still figuring it out. Either way, we've discovered a lot about ourselves since last March, whether we wanted to or not. When the big shut down came, I'll admit it was scary. I remember feeling... Continue Reading →
This is a repost of a previously posted story. My friend Bev reminded me earlier this week that it would be a good idea to share it again. Merry Christmas and good tidings to all who read it, whether you celebrate Christmas or another wonderful holiday at this time of year. Hey, you know what?... Continue Reading →

MJ’s daughter Angela is an amazing cook and spoiled us rotten with wonderful and delicious main courses and desserts. At one point, Mel asked what... Continue Reading →
Part Two of Three After a delicious, hearty breakfast, we bundled up and headed outside for our first full run of the trail Saturday morning. Barbara, my roommate from Florida, was the first to volunteer. Having spent a few hours chatting in our room the night before, I was not surprised. Barbara is fearless and... Continue Reading →
Funny how inspiration comes from the unlikeliest of places at times. Today was that kind of day. Actually, the last few days were that kind of day. A "Polar Vortex" had hit Wisconsin and the whole state kind of shut down over the span of three days. Oh, we fought it though. We kept going... Continue Reading →
My daily Zen calendar recently said something very interesting. “You carry heaven and hell with you.” I love my little Zen calendar. It makes me think hard about things I usually don’t think about at all. That’s what’s so neat about it. This particular phrase made me laugh when I read it, because it’s so... Continue Reading →
