A wedding in Idaho
Cooler weather is here with it just below 100, and the evening is very pleasant. I am also feeling my spirit lift a bit as the weather becomes more agreeable. I have started walking occasionally with some church friends when I can. They walk about 2 miles and early, but now it will be more…

Challenging days
I haven’t traveled for quite some time. I visited my sister in Texas in February when she had a birthday. I finally met her two toddlers, whom I hadn’t seen in person before. I also got to witness her older son surprise her by coming for a visit. It was very enjoyable, despite getting sick…

It has been awhile
It has been almost a year since I have written. Some of you may be wondering what I have been up to. It has been a long year without much adventure. I felt I didn’t have anything worth writing for since I worked, slept, and not much else. I have had some growth and become…

Too tired to play
It feels I am on repeat. Work, sleep, eat, doctor’s appointments, and repeat. I am having a difficult time getting up for work. I get up around 5:30 depending on the day. My cat wakes me just about 5:15 am. wanting treats. She is a great alarm clock because she is pretty consistent. She will…

Learning new things
You can teach an old dog new tricks sometimes, but it takes a while longer than it used to. I have been working just over a month now, and the past few days, I haven’t had a lot to do, or I am missing something. Not sure which exactly just yet. I feel like I…

Life is a journey
Things are looking up. After months of looking, I finally landed a job, and other good things are happening as well. I am making some friends and finding ways to keep myself occupied. I even recovered my outside furniture by myself. I am starting to get some confidence back. My SWEA (Swedish women educational association)…

Keeping busy
I realized March is more than half over, and it has gone incredibly fast and without much notice. I have had more energy as the days get longer. I have gone on a few walks, been outside more, trimmed some bushes, and generally have more energy. It isn’t a lot more, but it is something.…

My life just now
I have debated how much to share, but maybe someone can learn from my mistakes, so here goes. I want to fall in love with someone, so I am deciding it is time to fall in love with myself. Dating has not gone well. The one man I wrote about, the one I thought was…

Family visit
I had an amazing but short visit to Washington state. It was a whirlwind and, per usual, did not get to see many people. It was great to see the kids and grandkids. I saw my granddaughter Destany and great granddaughter Lily when I first came. We had a few hours together. Lily was full…
