I’ve Been Pondering…
What does it say about my attitude this year that my witty coffee mugs have been replaced by this classic diner mug? Too many episodes of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives? Too many healthy habits affecting my witty edge? Thor’s Diner Scene? Pining for a simpler world? Discovering coffee tastes better in old fashioned mugs with […]

The Week In Seven Photos
Thankfully I have several adorable photos to share this week to help distract from my pessimism. Just like those old days when I loved to double down while playing blackjack in Las Vegas, I could double down on my pessimism this week, but, oh look, another adorable moment in nature.

The Week In Seven Photos
It was a somewhat painful week on the nature trails with many close calls. Amazingly I performed moves I didn’t know my body was capable of saving myself from falling to the ground after losing my balance on a hill while capturing my first flower photos of the season.

During the week I randomly find myself meditating on something insightful to share, but for the life of me somehow I occasionally forget the deep thoughts by the time I write about the week.

The Week In Seven Photos
Wandering around one day this week I briefly thought I should express my love of life more often and was shocked to discover the first two things that popped into my head was that I love the pizza deliveryman and living my life on shuffle some days. Yes, I’ve reached that point in middle age […]

Monday Musings
There have been moments lately when I feel like the universe is quietly laughing at me. As a curious soul, I’m always looking for more information and new thoughts, but things have gone in an extremely strange direction since the pandemic began. I’ve discovered that some days I’m very close to being a vegetarian and […]

The Week In More Than Seven Photos
As I’ve been wandering around this week my thoughts have drifted back to my journey over the last two decades to simplify life and the simple truth of the matter is that life often likes to make itself very difficult to simplify. One would think after the years of work and a blog dedicated to […]

The Week In More Than Seven Photos
Lately as I’ve been reflecting on a few things, I’ve often thought that it’s total malarky that the 50s are the new 30s. As I find myself debating between taking the very heavy Tamron lens or my new adorable tiny lens for my iPhone on photography outings, my inner 30s voice has been saying definitely […]
