How I did it
How to walk at least three times a week
It took me
2 years
It made me
energetic

How I did it: I got a dog.  She needs exercise as much as I do.  When I don't have it in me to do it for me, I do it for her.  We're both much happier as result. Read how I did it…

On 9/3 Wish Rat (a staggering Rat of heartbreaking something or other) a Virgo Perfect Storm birthday, filled with good manners, tidy surroundings, tasty food, lovely art, and loads of BACON!!!
I thought for your birthday 2 months ago

we could share a bottle (or two) of the Malbec, and some short sharp shots of Mayan, but mostly stories and secrets, giggles (ache sin), and kindred insight. (We will, you know it.) Simply put, thank you for being in My life. We’ve shared so much already. I wish you joy and hope, light and love, adventure, fulfillment, and oh so many colors, Dear One, in the year to come.

(and bacon, did I mention, bacon?)

reflect on things for which I'm grateful (read all 21 entries…)
Coming home 3 months ago

It’s been far too long. Five for Friday, August 7:

1. Early morning gooseflesh.
2. A sip of time and quiet, just enough to remember the taste.
3. Sadness, on the road to actuation.
4. Terrazu, black and steaming.
5. Commitment (SW3307).
