I’ve Been Pondering…
The phrase “get off my lawn” that I hear quite often on my favorite sports show Pardon the Interruption. It always strikes me funny when they use the phrase concerning the sports attitudes and behavior of younger generations and I’m beginning to wonder if I’m enjoying the phrase too much at this age. I cheer…

Looking Forward To Summer Mornings And Good Books
This week I’ve been reading The Swedish Art Of Aging Exuberantly: Life Wisdom from Someone Who Will (Probably) Die Before You and The Gentle Art Of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Free Yourself and Your Family from a Lifetime of Clutter by Margareta Magnusson. They caught my eye as I’ve been thinking about time and…

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. Another red-winged blackbird bounced off my…

Monday Musings
Another weekend and another midlife realization that the person that spent years flying down the highway in the fast lane is in the rearview mirror and I prefer those slow Sunday morning drives and avoiding highways whenever possible.

The Week In Seven Photos
I know I’ve said it in previous weeks, but I have to say again, it has been a blooming strange year. With every delicate step forward there appeared to be many peculiar steps back. I suppose I could have taken more time to find a bench and reflect, but thankfully Harper has kept me constantly…

Ageless Or Aging Musings #9
The meaning of life messages can certainly change over the decades. I remember when I first began working in the 80s that a “Hang In There” cat poster in someone’s cubicle always made me smile with thoughts of making it to Friday. Decades later when life sends me a “hang in there” message, I immediately panic…

Ageless Or Aging Musings #8
I’ve discovered over the years that while I often agree with the quote “the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results,” sometimes I understand the need to embrace the insanity, even if it’s rooted in childhood. Recently I embraced the insane idea to watch another sad…
