To Be A Good Listener

One Workout Away


I went to the gym yesterday.  I haven't been in months and haven't been regularly in a several years.  Finally, I feel like going; I'm not sure if I've found the right dose of Synthroid or vitamin D, or because I'm eating differently and have more energy throughout the day.  No matter, I'm going to ride … Continue reading One Workout Away

Street Life: Weekly Photo Challenge


I was leaving one of the childcare centers on a particularly hot day last summer and saw this little bird.  It hopped from the other side of the street after rolling around in the dirt to this cool puddle.  I watched for about 10 minutes before the bird flew away.   Grateful I took the time … Continue reading Street Life: Weekly Photo Challenge
