It is a beautiful day in my neighborhood, a beautiful day... ok, you get it. 😉 I have become obsessed with Sofia and Lucas, y'all. Seriously. I wrote most of the day yesterday, and part of the evening. I think about them while I'm in the shower. {Does he say, "I know it's too soon … Continue reading Sunny Saturday

Wellness Wednesday – 11-20
Yeah, I am not a Step Star this week. 😦 Or any kind of star for that matter. Sigh... However. There is reason to celebrate! 500 Posts on Olivia Submits! Yes, I just gave myself flowers... Lol, I do that in real life too. Buy them for myself. I love getting flowers, and, stereotypically, I … Continue reading Wellness Wednesday – 11-20
Just Stopping By
It's late. I started working on a new part of the Sofia and Lucas story, but didn't get halfway done. I think it's ridiculous that I have an urge to stop by here even though I have nothing important to say. But here I am. So here are a couple of pictures and a quote … Continue reading Just Stopping By
Monday Musing
I made it yesterday - to the UU church, that is. It was very nice, in a very bland kind of way, which is about what I expected. I will try it again. But there was no immediate sense of spiritual connection or feeling like I'd come home. And I didn't really expect there to … Continue reading Monday Musing
Warning – Religion Ahead
This is what happens when you search for "warn" on Pixabay... Awake way too early this morning, especially for a Sunday. But that's ok. I'll lie back down in a bit maybe. I've been getting images for this blog and other blogs from Pixabay lately, and really love it. Today, I just entered "Awake" in … Continue reading Warning – Religion Ahead

Home Again, Home Again
Yesterday was another lovely day, a big part of the day spent exploring the island I was on with my daughter and the grands. That's just a treat all by itself. But I was thinking about my career path (if you can call it that, feels like a career dead-end at the moment, but hopefully, … Continue reading Home Again, Home Again
From the Retreat
It is really beautiful here. Lots of live oak trees. And the ocean is just a short walk away. It was cloudy in the morning, but the sun came out later, temps in the low seventies, and it was perfect for walking on the beach yesterday. Cloudy and cooler today, but that's ok too. I … Continue reading From the Retreat
Wellness Wednesday; 11-6

Actually, I had two days around 9,000, so that was good.Weight 164.8Sleep avg = 7 hrs, 9 minutes That's high for … Continue reading Wellness Wednesday; 11-6
Between the Lines Afterwards
I survived. The dental surgery was not painless and I'm still not having much fun, but it certainly wasn't as bad as it could have been. Of course, I might be buzzing a bit at the moment. Yay pain meds. But just Ibuprofen. And I think I'll survive. Just wanted to check in and say … Continue reading Between the Lines Afterwards
