As it gets cooler, the allure of dawn at the beach is greatly reduced. 45 degrees, even 55, is a bit nippy. I begin to find reasons excuses not to go. I don't even know where my winter clothes are. I can't find my walk-on-the-beach shoes. My chair's not in the car anymore. When really … Continue reading A Little Beach Time

Late LOL
I can't believe Love Our Lurkers was yesterday - is that even right? Yikes! I LOVE LOL, so I hate that I'm late. I have a bunch of new subscribers, but am never sure that more than a couple of them actually read here again. 🙂 But if you're out there I'd love to hear … Continue reading Late LOL
FFF 10-26
4,862. That's my sad little average step count this week. Ugh. Not enough. I'm not taking enough steps, not drinking enough water. Not spending enough time on my classes or building my website. Not spending enough time on my regular job. Not writing enough. Not managing my diet well enough. Not sleeping enough. Not enough. … Continue reading FFF 10-26
FFF 10-19
And here we are again. Reporting in - step count is DOWN. 5,924. Weight is UP. I would like for that to be the other way around. Ok, and maybe my weight is not actually up, but hovering around 156, 157. Sigh. I feel kind of old today. When I look at the challenges ahead … Continue reading FFF 10-19
FFF – 10-12
The theme for today's post is sleep - lovely, elusive, delightful, can't-get-enough-of-it sleep. “Even a soul submerged in sleep is hard at work and helps make something of the world.” ― Heraclitus, Fragments But not I. Wide awake since about 3:30 this morning. Sigh. “Insomnia is a variant of Tourette's--the waking brain races, sampling the … Continue reading FFF – 10-12
FFF – 10-5
Good grief, the weeks fly by. One minute it's last Friday, and the next thing I know, I wake up and it's this Friday. AND i'm not doing so well this week in terms of food and nutrition. Too many carbs. My glucose levels are not always as low as I want. Last night, I … Continue reading FFF – 10-5
FFF 9-29 (on Saturday)
I didn't quite realize that yesterday was Friday. Ok, that sounds silly, but it's true. I'm traveling for work and that's always a little bit like being in a separate universe. So i knew it was Friday, my brain just didn't connect it to being here. Until about 3 o'clock in the morning. When i … Continue reading FFF 9-29 (on Saturday)
FFF – 9-14-18
Happy Friday! I am going home today, and ready to be there, I think. These few days on retreat, i've tried not to get too attached to outcome. So i haven't been born again or made new while i was here, and that's ok too. i think it's been a "Middle Way" kind of retreat. … Continue reading FFF – 9-14-18
Weird Dream
So i had this dream the other night. We had just bought a house (not sure who "we" was, but anyhow.) It was huge. It was so big that after I moved in, I realized there were whole parts of it that I hadn't even seen. So I started wandering around trying to find out … Continue reading Weird Dream
FFF – 9-7
It's Friday again - i have no idea where the week has gone. Or maybe i do since I've been babysitting my grands since Tuesday, which has been lots of fun, and very demanding. Um, as you parents of little ones already know. Six year old and a three year old. Of course, they're at … Continue reading FFF – 9-7
