I know. I know. Another running blog. I'm quarantined! I promise I'll write a food blog this week because I cooked an amazing dish today! I wrote yesterday about a storm brewing. And boy, did it brew! Two tornadoes were recorded touching down. We were not affected other than just heavy storms, but just five …
My Hunka Hunka always uses Yodaisms. Today was definitely a "Do or Do Not" day. I woke up with a headache. After visiting my dad who is hard of hearing and cold-natured, as in the TV was so loud and it was 79 F in his house, my headache increasingly became worse. After visiting all …
What is it about moms and their healing powers? My mom was known for her rocking chair. She would rock sun up to sun down, listening to her gospel music. If you're sick, climb in Moma's lap. If you need a hug, climb in Moma's lap. If you're sad, climb in Moma's lap. She just …
My word what a past couple days. I have not been in a blog writing mood. I couldn't wrap my head around everything I'm juggling to put my thoughts into words. That's just life. It's reality. Any one of us could easily look up and say, "Why me, Lord?". Instead, I remind myself to look …
Many years ago I wrote an article for Taekwondo Times called "Running to Safety". This focused on using my trained self-defense skills into making sure each time I run, I run safely. I have had many instances in my many years of running to make my mind better trained. I have been run off the …
While out to my lunch with my Hunka Hunka today, we ran into a good friend of ours. He complimented me on my blogs, which completely delighted me. I'm never sure who reads my crazy thoughts. He talked about how I discuss my running adventures. I know I haven't written in a while. Work has …
Soon it will be 2020. A new year. A new decade. As I get older, time really is speeding by. That can be a good thing..hurry up and get me to retirement. ha. In my past, I have been one to always be super fit. I ran all the time. Age, surgeries, and injuries caught …
Well...I did it. I put up my tree. Before I became a motherless daughter, my mom had dementia. She never knew what day it was. When I lost her mentally, I lost all my Christmas spirit. Actually, I just lost all my spirit. Nothing was the same. Then she died. Now I can't even remind …
I've been reading lately folks who write their own obituaries before they die. The quirky ones go viral. Each time I read one, I always think to myself, "I want to write my own." Why not?! Most recently a coworker's uncle passed. She said he didn't write his obituary, but he did plan his own …
Yesterday was my brother's birthday. Chubs passed away February 10, 2008. Every time I see a cardinal, I know it's him. Many birthdays I have now spent without him. I find solace in knowing Moma is with him now. I even found a feather while I was out walking at lunch yesterday. I know it's …
