Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
A task in my Happify track this week was the Walk of Inspiration: Take a meditative walk in a place that always inspires your best ideas. It could be a busy street, a hiking trail, or even the mall. (Hey, great ideas can come from anywhere.) Walk slowly at first, with eyes on the ground.... Continue Reading →
A blissfully uneventful day at work. That will change tomorrow as we now have less than 48 hours to the software upgrade changeover. It felt like the calm before the storm today really. I was able to listen to the audio version of the entire module of lessons that I had read yesterday. A great... Continue Reading →
Saturday version of Friday beauty. Some pictures from this week in the back yard. I know daffodils are supposed to be February flowers, but these mini daffodil bulbs that I bought several years ago can't wait that long. They are also becoming more and more prolific year to year.

Not a bad week. But certainly a weird, out of focus week. So there is color, because it's very pretty all around me. Twinkly lights are everywhere. At work. Inside & outside my house. On web pages & avatars - the holidays are in full swing.! But a sinus headache day on Tuesday threw off... Continue Reading →
Some fog off on the horizon, but otherwise everything is a brilliant, deep blue. Contrast that with the same time of day in early January when a very muggy heat wave rolled through. Rain rolls back into town this weekend - unfortunately creating an adventure for the Breast Cancer 3 Day walkers this... Continue Reading →
I kept it traditional yesterday, but I can't resist sharing a couple of more politically oriented Veteran's Day today - and yes, I consider these beautiful because sometimes it takes a proper visual representation of an issue to get a very very critical point to be made: And one more traditional representation of beauty (in...
