I'm cheating and borrowing today...
I found these one-liners in a book I was reading when we were in Switzerland and I jotted 'em down. Some of them are words to live by; others, just silly. I'm sure you've heard some of them before but what the heck...here they are: Every time I hear the word “exercise”, I wash out my mouth with...

Sinking the Chi!
Does anyone out there in blogit-land practice Tai Chi? How about Qi Gong? I’ve been doing Tai Chi on and off for several years, following along to a couple of DVDs, and the stretching elements of it are fantastic. I gave it up for a while when I was working out at the gym, trying to get the old (and...

I've got the jitters
I like to think I take good care of myself. I eat healthy foods, organic when I can get them, whole grains, lots of veggies and fruit, fish and very little, if any, processed stuff. As I type I’m sipping a glass of blueberry pomegranate juice, which is full of antioxidants (whatever they are!) It’s...

I wanna go home
It’s getting increasingly more difficult to live so far away from my family. It’s been 6 years and 6 months since we pulled up Canadian roots and moved to the Midwest of America and I think I’ve reached the end of my pulley. Initially we thought it would be a three to five year relocation deal but...

The obliteration of poinsettias
It happens every year. Poinsettias appear in their flowering glory, gracing my tables, stairways, windowsills and piano tops. They even gather under the lower branches of a Christmas tree. I love their blood-red petals; their dark green leaves. But my adoration has a time limit. While stashing away...

D-I-V-O-R-C-E
Divorce sucks. There is probably nothing that can be said that hasn’t already been said about this reverse state of matrimony. The pain it causes is astronomical and progressive. Its effects are all encompassing for the many people involved. It is truly not something to enter into lightly. (I wrote...

“If music be the food of love, play on..”
When you hear a song for the first time, is it the lyrics that draw you in or the melody? I can listen to a piece of classical music and feel stirred emotionally but what really does it for me is wonderfully written words that make up the song. I was raised with four siblings, each of whom listened...

How much wood could a woodchuck, chuck....
Not exactly the same ditty but maybe someone out there has an answer for me! How do you get rid of a squirrely squirrel? If that squirrel is too cute to shoot? He’s eating the birdseed put out for the birdies That dastardly squirrel's got me beat!

A funny thing happened on the way home from the hairdresser’s…
There is always at least one song each Christmas that takes me back to a time when I can hear and see my sister singing along to it and almost as soon as the first notes are played, I’m in tears. Often it’s when Oh come, Oh come Emmanuel comes on the radio or my CD player. In that instant, I’m...
