my journey, destination unknown
With all my hiking and little bit of traveling, I have not had many moments to read anything beyond my magazines. When we get back from spring break and the temperatures start to climb, I suspect I will have much more time for reading…. I vowed not to push through books I am not enjoying…

While in Florida over Christmas break, the girls and I had the chance to visit two beaches, Casey Key and Casperson Beach. I much preferred Casey Key! But either way, we got to go to the beach!

A few weeks ago I finished my first knitting project of this year, and just yesterday I finished my second one! It is another hat, just like the other one, but much, much better. Many fewer mistakes. And using smaller needles for the brim really helped. I guess next week I have to go back…

July is the “Work/Career” month in my Happiness Project. In 2014 and 2015, I did not do very much on this topic. For the past few years, I’ve been coasting along at work. I work hard at what I do and keep my skills up-to-date, but I want to do even better than that. My…
Today is World Water Day and National Goof Off Day. Up early to take care of things, get the girls off to school, work, and clean. Mid-morning, I left to run errands and go to the Red Cross. We had very little work to do, so I was done quickly. Phelix and I headed out…
