Hard to believe that Chloe and I hiked to the Hike Inn five months ago. It feels like we did it five weeks ago. But, a lot has changed since then. Camille has chosen college, and Chloe has chosen a high school…

While we were on the Cape, Chloe and I rode the Nantucket Ferry over to Nantucket one day. We had lunch, shopped in town, walked to Jetty Beach, rode the bus back, and explored. We had a wonderful day!

One of my goals is to learn more about the flora an fauna of Arabia. I have picked up a few things, but I have so very much to learn. Ranger Robby knows it all, but I am a slow learner. i am happy that I now know when to expect these tiny beauties to

Always a fun time in Provincetown. We got there early, missing the traffic and the crowds. By the time we left, the streets were teeming with people!
best self – 3 aug 2017
This month is (hopefully) about being my best self. Making good choices and taking care of myself. It’s not easy when I have so little control over my time, but I’m going to really try.
happiness project: exercise
Thrive, Project 46, and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me. July’s main theme was Career. My plan is that

I haven’t been taking photos very much lately. I don’t think that I’m much busier than usual at the moment. But maybe it’s one thing too many for me to think about right now.

THe fast ferry is more expensive, but worth it! We had comfortable seat, wi-fi, and power. Out through Hyannis, past all the sailboats, and through the fog to Nantucket. Parking was a little confusing, but we managed it without any mishap.

Volunteering. Kids’ music. Being at the beach. All things I enjoy doing. Making sure I have time for me instead of always putting everyone else first.
expect the unexpected.
I’m not a car person. I never spent time to learn how to care for a car. I can’t change the oil, can’t replace a belt. I might be able to change a tire if it comes to it. The one time I had a flat tire, I didn’t get the chance to try to

I had a vague idea of staying somewhere “different” on our trip up north. Harrisburg, PA, seemed like a great distance to go in one day – more than halfway, but not exhausting. We hit a little weather and got in a hour or so later than planned. I hadn’t planned on going to Hershey
ownself. – 20 jul 2017
I’m terrible at self-care. I let everyone’s needs and wants come before mine. I need to start standing up for what I want more and stop trying to be so considerate of everyone else that I don’t get to do the things I want to do.
play!
I don’t play much these days. Or perhaps my personal definition of play is lacking. I work, manage the house, volunteer, and run the errands. Sometimes I get the chance to exercise, hike, read, or meet a friend, though not as much as I need. What is play? I play with the dog, but even
