I knew, even though or maybe because I had taken the early start, that I was probably not going to be finishing the race in under two hours and 30 minutes. My goal in my mind was to finish and, hopefully, in under three hours. I was sure I could do it! I had talked… Continue reading Inside the Race
Going to apologize in advance as I cannot manage to get formatting done correctly today. I have decided I love runners! All runners!! Back in October, I wrote about the camaraderie of the running community. I have now experienced it again. Only, this time, I experienced it as I was running. I left Saturday afternoon… Continue reading More on My First
Last December I wrote about my first 5K. Last October about how I had gone from just running for myself to wanting to become a runner. As you read this, I will be getting to the start line of my first half marathon. I say first because it is and because I am already registered… Continue reading My First
Touch. A few weeks ago, Big Little Wolf wrote a piece about touch. Are you a toucher? What does your body language mean to those on the receiving end? I am not a big hugger. Imagine my startled feelings when someone I had only spoke to online came to a party I was throwing and… Continue reading Your Senses – Touch
I use to wonder about the use of the word UGH but now it fits. Labels!!!!! UGH!!! I have spent a little time this week reading about labels. Belinda, over at The Halfway Point, wrote about labels this week. Jane, at They Call Me Jane’s Blog, also wrote about labels this week. Both got me… Continue reading Labels! UGH!
No, it truly is not spring yet in upstate New York. Mother Nature, as usual, is being a tease and the weather has seemed almost springlike.

Along with a recession the likes that most of us have never seen, NYS took a huge hit with Wall Street firms closing and some lowering of massive Wall Street incomes. You see, NYS has, for many administrations, gone against the number one rule in freelancing… Continue reading Budget Woes and Education in NYS
Do you hate that healing takes time? I know I want to be whole, fixed, healed as quickly as possible but my body, my spirit, my heart doesn’t always work that way. Take my knee. When I turned my ankle a little over a week ago, I did go down. I have said it before… Continue reading Healing
No, I do not mean date line. I mean I had a sort of, kind of, impromptu date on Friday night. I know. None of those terms – sort of, kind of or impromptu – are generally used when describing a date. So here goes. Friday I worked hard in the morning after deciding that… Continue reading Date Night: Friday Night
When I was in Ithaca this past Friday night, I went to several art shows. One that I truly loved was the exhibit of Dee Sprague’s work at The Kitschen Sink. I first found The Kitschen Sink on The Greater Ithaca Art Trail last October. It was one of the four studios/galleries I managed to… Continue reading The Kitschen Sink and Dee Sprague’s Opening
