I am not really sure why, but since today is the first official day of my vacation, I feel more relaxed than I have in a while. Even yesterday evening I was feeling stressed and tired, but today is a different story. Although I didn’t sleep really well, I have a budding happiness inside. Perhaps…
DetailsThis week has been incredibly long. I have been working on a project at my day job, which has not been going well. I ended up staying late at work almost every day this week. I am installing equipment underneath a counter, where there is little room. I literally have to crawl part way into…
DetailsI did not foresee the events of last week coming. Or maybe, subconsciously, I did…In my last post I talked about caring for our senior horse, Copenhagen. He was not just another animal, he was part of our family for the past thirteen years. He was, for a long time, my daughter’s whole world. As…
DetailsThis last week sure was a long one, it seemed. There are several reasons for that, starting with me hurting my back. Last weekend, I worked outside pretty much every waking hour. The weather was really pleasant, and I enjoy beautifying the outside of the house. I pulled weeds, and trimmed rose bushes, and…

I am a list maker and pride myself in being organized. My life has always been about progress and a finished product. I can push myself…
DetailsThis past week has really flown by. Where did the time go? It seems I have been busy all week, but have very little to show for it. And for this results-oriented person, that is a problem. There is no doubt that summer is here. The drought ending rain and the unseasonably cool weather is…
DetailsOther than a couple of days of really nice weather, there was really nothing remarkable about this last week. I have been working on building my calendar, and plugging away at my aromatherapy certification. For once, I had a week that was uneventful. Thursday, I attended a National Association of Professional Women (NAPW) chapter meeting…
DetailsThis year has finished up well. I really do feel that way. Although I have not accomplished everything that I set out to accomplish, I have done some great things; and I have grown a lot. The thing about life is that you are either progressing or falling behind. There really is no such thing…
