A personal journey into retirement.
People don’t realize when you travel for work you don’t get to see much. Most of my time is spent inside a convention center. I’ve visited some nice ones though. LOL Last month I was in Orlando and my hotel was right across from Sea World. This was actually a bucket list item for me... Continue Reading →
Sitting on a plane after a one hour delay due to maintenance, the air conditioner seems to be stuck on heat, flight attendants trying to confirm number of passengers, communicating with the check in attendant, and specifically calling out my seat number, doesn’t exactly give me a warm fuzzy feeling! Have I mentioned the crying... Continue Reading →
Late Easter, late everything. I am really itching for some much needed R&R. I feel like by this time last year, we had already taken more trips. If we did, I don't know how we fit them in. Hubby is traveling more for work, and since we adopted Scruffy, it doesn’t seem like we have... Continue Reading →

I have tried meditation but my mind wanders so badly that I can never seem to get 'grounded' as they say. In fact, I can't even describe what 'grounding' feels like. If I try to think...

My recent trip to Dallas was a short turn around. Doesn't leave much time for exploring but you know I found some time to find a few 'beautiful things'. For example, the Blue Buffalo mascot came for a visit. You just never know who you are going to meet along the way. Oh The People... Continue Reading →
Spring Has Sprung Every family has their own traditions, ours happens to be, the tree goes up right after Thanksgiving, and down with the New Year. I have to admit, I've missed the wooden deer in my front yard, especially since we shine a spotlight on them. I think I miss the light most, but,... Continue Reading →
