happy runner girlFor the past couple of weeks, I've been running injured. It's nothing serious just a tightness in my right hip and an awareness of my left knee.

a weighty subject
In the last week, a minimum of 8 people made comments to me about my weight. No one was overly critical, but there was a note of concern in more than one voice.

My lists generally take form only mentally and I'm uncertain if my lack of commitment to a format which can be easily shared … Continue reading Lists are better than being listless

Thank you, Mother Nature
I know, I know, the weather has been crap. Too much rain, not enough sunshine, flooding, wet basements, lawns and gardens too saturated to permit you to get your hands anything but muddy. I get it.
