On My Mind
Back from Italy and I've got a great deal on my mind and on my plate this week. Some to share with you: – Went to the denist this morning and there was a new hygienist. She did some deep scraping/cleaning that made me feel like I've been punched in the face. Time to go

High Holidays
It's the second day of Rosh Hashanah, although for the first time in years, I really didn't acknowledge the holiday in any way. No brisket, no round challah, no apples and honey, and no services. I still haven't solidified my Yom Kippur plans either. That said, I have been quite introspective, as I tend to

Of Two Minds
I'm not ready for summer to be over. I didn't get enough time to wiggle my toes in the sand, didn't get to relax by the lake in Casco, and didn't get to enough cookouts. I'm not ready for sweaters, boots, and scarves. My toes still want to feel the air. But . . .

A Lesson in Goal-Setting
I set three goals for myself this past weekend, as you may recall. I am proud to report that I achieved them all. Sort of. In lieu of purging the clothes in my dresser, I purged the clothes and shoes in my closet. Will tackle the dresser next. I've learned that in some cases, it's

It’s a Dog’s Life
Miss Moxie had a bit of a rough weekend — she got her dew claw caught in a puppy friend's harness while they were playing on Thursday night and it tore down the the quick, so Friday I had to take her to the vet to get it clipped off. She had to be sedated

Recovery
What a weekend. It encompassed a wide range of emotions, tears, laughter, mourning, celebration, love, and friendship and I ran, bike, ate, drank and danced. I celebrated life, love, endings, and beginnings, all the while reminding me to treasure the wonderful people I have in my world. As someone said to me while we were

Rant of the Day: Texting While Cycling
Sometimes I get all riled up about non-important things. For example, when people put their stuff in a locker at the gym and then don't put a lock on it and I end up opening up five full, unlocked lockers before I can find a free one, I secretly think this. My latest issue? People
