New leaves. March 7: Tuesday. Dozing at my computer. Later out to run an errand and felt liberated, light and fluffy too. Can use my left hand without much pain…what a gift. March 8: We...
THREE DAYS IN MARCH
3-3-17 March 4: Saturday. With arm in sling, we visited a friend, bank, two estate sales, lunch, and a nap. It sounds adventuresome but it wasn’t at all. Visiting the nap was extra sp...
RESOLUTE
February 27: Rain…pouring rain all day. Over four inches of rain thundering down our roofs as if a team of horses were prancing on the wood. Simply wonderful stuff. February 28: Little nee...

ORTS MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND
• I’m settling down for the long haul in my favorite chair. Yes, it needs washing. Yes, the sofa and Morris chair could do with some soap and water too. They aren’t getting it quite yet. ...

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
Oh, guilt…two pounds of chocolates on my much appreciated morning tray. We both visited See’s. I got him a small box of truffles. Ah, double guilt. Perhaps out-of-sight/out-of-mind will work...
CASTS AND OTHER LEANINGS
I thought I would show you the other thumb cast coming off in 2014. You know….that color wasn’t bad. I was more afraid of the saw than I was of the surgery. After finding that picture, it’s ...
GRATITUDINOUS
Rental Boats on Catalina. Himself: Was a big hero to go to an Alanon fund raiser. He had fun, won something, and the food was great. Today a party, a premeeting meeting, and a meeti...

The day is chilly and grey here as it was that day in Paris. I feel unimaginative and sluggish knowing I will have two weeks of no journaling….for yes, I have a date for surgery. The 23rd. Th...
HALF WAY THROUGH

A STATE OF MIND

NEW GLASSES
I dodged a bee in the pool this morning. He had sunk to the bottom. I just moved around him slowly. I couldn’t really quite see him as I had my go-to-the-pool glasses on. They aren’t as flat...

Another lovely meditative rose to offer you. For me, the month will be doctor’s appointments. An eye follow up today. 0945 ENT Thursday. Next Wednesday a follow up with my primary care pers...
