Another lovely sunset. Each time I remember that I’m stuck at home, I think of the view that I have and try to think on the bright side, so to speak….
Georgia: Moving Forward
When I took on our Georgia History Project a year ago, I thought it would be a year long project for us to study the history of Georgia. A year later and we still are pre-Civil War in our explorations. But that’s ok. We’ve studied the Native Americans quite deeply and have been to many

Aw, the puppy was so happy when Chloe came home from gymnastics today!!
Happiness Project: Mindfulness Practice Week 3
The new “habits” list I found is 25 Habits Of People Who Are Happy, Healthy & Successful. I considered items 1 & 2 a couple weeks ago. The third item is: 3. They go by a routine and make exercise a part of it. It takes practice to develop healthy habits and stick with them.

I took today off. Why is it so hard for me to give my self guilt-free downtime? After a busy week, I need it. A time to read, reflect and relax. We did a little cleaning up, but other than that I tried to stay off-line and in a relaxed mode. And, other than the

In the past, our game nights have only had a couple people playing games and others doing lots of taking and hanging out. This time? Everyong including Phelix (but not me) was engaged in a game at one point. Hooray!

As with our past few trips to NYC for Kindiefest, this latest trip also included a long evening of seriously great kindie music at my happy place — well, not my true happy place, as that’s XM in DC, but a good second to it.

volunteering: CERT
Last week, I completed my CERT Class. While I’m glad to have my Thursday nights back, I’ll miss heading to the class and learning more about disaster response each week. While I’m still hoping to volunteer with the Red Cross, I think I’m going to not sign up for any more classes right away. For
