Today I ran the snow blower for the first time. It was the first time we needed the snow blower (thank goodness) AND it was the first time I ever experienced the thrill of plowing through deep snow and launching it into outer space. Well, not outer space, but out of the space that it … Continue reading Snow Blower Woman

Cat and Taxes
I've been putting it off. I always put it off. Is it hard? Not really. Is it interesting? Not at all. I don't even DO them, per se. I have an accountant who is a whiz and finds me all kinds of deductions, plus he's a character and I like him. But what I do … Continue reading Cat and Taxes
“Yoga Could Save Me, If I’d Let It.”
I've been writing for a long time: diaries when I was a girl, journals when I was in college and beyond, and now still the journals and this blog. Today I went back to my first blog, one I made for a college class assignment. I wrote all the code, inserted graphics and pictures and … Continue reading “Yoga Could Save Me, If I’d Let It.”
The 1st Anniversary of This Blog
This is my 167th post on this blog. I mention this only because I just passed my 1st anniversary here. I had a slow start, for sure. I knew I wanted to do something with this blog that would express my particular take on the world, as well as track my daily search for inspiration. … Continue reading The 1st Anniversary of This Blog

Tiger Woods
I made it a point to turn on the TV this morning and watch Tiger Woods' first statement since his, (ahem) indiscretions. I expected him to admit he had made mistakes. I expected him to say he was sorry for hurting his wife, disappointing all the kids who looked up to him, and making a … Continue reading Tiger Woods
The Girl In The Picture
A friend of mine who has known me for a LONG time sent me some pictures he found in an old box. Pictures of me. Pictures of me taken over 30 years ago, when I was 25. I am still reeling from the shock of them. I hardly recognized myself. I kept staring at these … Continue reading The Girl In The Picture
Massage
Got a massage today and it was amazing. There were times when I almost konked out, and other times when I was on "high alert" because she was bustin' some serious moves on some very sore muscles, and it hurt. Not a bad hurt, but I had to keep reminding myself to "allow" the muscle … Continue reading Massage
Running vs. Yoga
While I am doing yoga, I am in a whole different world. I am out of my mind. Literally. While I am running, I am also in a whole different world, but I am totally IN my mind and all I want to do is escape it. In the yoga practice, I explore the interior … Continue reading Running vs. Yoga
Weird Food Person
We got out of Dodge this weekend. Went up to Ithaca to have dinner with Zee, do a little food shopping at Green Star, and just play. It was fun, but you know what? I think I have become "a difficult food person." Because nothing I ate sat right with me. The Moosewood lunch was … Continue reading Weird Food Person
