PASSWORDS!

This morning I updated my website, added a 10% discount coupon for teachers and added links to massage therapy articles and merchants. I couldn't publish it though because apparently I forgot the password. For my own protection, every on-line account has its own password. I try to keep the passwords... Sign in to see full entry.

THE MAGIC OF THE MORNING

This morning the air is thick with moisture. Fog and mist lay heavy around the trees. The pond is hidden from view. It looks like Avalon. As Husband was reading from one of our morning books, cigarette smoke was blowing into my face. I moved to a chair opposite him on the deck, facing east. Being... Sign in to see full entry.

TOO TIRED . . .

Too tried at the moment. Eckart Tolle's book, "The Power of Now" is waiting for me on the bed. It was published in 1996. Some would say I'm a little behind the times, but I know that books always come to me when I can receive the message. Someone gave me Marianne Williamson's book, "Illuminata" and...

HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR WHAT I DO!

Yesterday was an incredibly busy, wonderful day. Both my appointments in the morning were wonderful experiences. Thank you. An Incredible Hulk came into the healing center with a stiff neck from lifting weights. He said the pain was a 7 (with 10 being the worst). When he left, his pain level was 0....

AM I GOING SOFT IN MY OLD AGE?

I must be going soft in my old age. Last year bright primary colors of yellow and red filled the beds around our house. This year red feels too harsh. Angry. This year I'm leaning toward softer colors. Lemony yellow coreopsis becaus they feel happy. Lilac bee balm. White petunias; and purple asters.... Sign in to see full entry.

JUST A SHORT POST BEFORE GOING OUTSIDE

It's Sunday morning. I'm sitting in my writing chair. I didn't know I had one until I found myself sitting here frequently. It's a red chair, big and fluffy with matching pillows. It sits beside the fireplace opposite the matching red loveseat. A drum hangs over the fireplace on the stone wall. It... Sign in to see full entry.

GRANDPA COOKED LAST NIGHT

Last night was soccer night for me. Grandpa was just cleaning up the brushes and buckets from staining the house when I left. His plan was to shower and take Granddaughter to McDonalds for dinner. He showered and dressed, talking up his plan to Granddaughter who was happily thinking of french fries... Sign in to see full entry.

I WANT TO WRITE SOMETHING ELSE

I want to write about food and cooking. So the question becomes which of the above blogs should I drop? I'm really leaning toward dropping How to Live Life Large. Sometimes it feels way too serious. So what if I start writing in the food section and call it "Daily Special or Blue Plate Special' or... Sign in to see full entry.

THUMBS-UP OR THUMBS-DOWN?

Last night was one of those "entertain special guests" nights that Husband & I sometimes do for his job. That means that he and I race home from work clean up the big chunks of dirt inside and outside the house and I cook like a maniac for a few hours before calmly welcoming whatever new recruit and...

SPA WIFE

Husband & I are staining the house. Yesterday as I was standing at the top of the 20 foot (probably only 15 but I'm short) step ladder during my third hour of staining, I began fantasizing about being a spa wife. You know, a wife who spends her days shopping at Easton, going to the spa for facials,... Sign in to see full entry.
