Today I cooked and ate breakfast, worked for almost 8 hours, prepared and ate lunch, cooked and ate dinner, washed dishes, took a brief walk, and blogged. For me, this was a full day and it felt like I accomplished … Continue reading

Four Walks
I’ve only taken four walks so far this year. But four walks, I hope you’ll agree, are better than none. 1 It was January. The last time I had walked the path, there had been a few brave flowers still … Continue reading
Catching Up
I have so many things to post about. Let’s start with coffee, since it was around the time that I decided to give up coffee that I also stopped posting regularly. Good news—not only did I give up my morning … Continue reading
