Monday Musings

A few things I’ve learned over the last eight months since my lymphoma diagnosis is that I need as much laughter as possible in my life, tears of joy and not sadness, and plenty of horror movies/shows (maybe due to the horror show going on in Washington or because it’s so much fun sharing horror…

The weather finally cooperated enough for a great Sunday morning bike ride. The paths were empty and for a moment a dragonfly was flying next to me setting the pace.

It’s A New Day

Thankful Thursday

This week I’m thankful for my first walk on Main Street this year and walk-up only coffee shops. I enjoyed a honey roasted almond latte while walking Harper back to the car, thankfully downhill. It was so wonderful to drive home with a good coffee and blasting Footloose and Tenth-Avenue Freeze-Out with Harper occasionally hanging…
