Feel Old and Do It Anyway

Dear Readers, You know the saying, "Feel the fear and do it anyway?" Well, I am making up a new one! Ha, ha! "Feel old and do it anyway!" Mr. UT and I are getting older, along with the aches and pains, and pulled muscles, and all the other things that come with our bodies … Continue reading Feel Old and Do It Anyway →

Little Purposes

Dear Readers, When I retired, I struggled trying to figure out my purpose in life. I always felt a strong purpose being a teacher. But now, what was I, a retired teacher, past her prime? What was my important purpose now? I had struggled with this for several years. I am reading a book called, … Continue reading Little Purposes →

Patience

When Mr. UT and I were skiing today, we watched some little children learning how to ski and snowboard. One little girl in a purple snow suit, was being taught how to snowboard by her father. She was a little, itty bitty girl, and her father had a rope attached to her board, so he … Continue reading Patience →

Yes, I Could Drink

Dear Readers, Yes, I could drink because of the invasion of Ukraine. But I won't. Would drinking help the people? The Ukrainian army? When I look back at all the world problems, all of my loved ones problems, or all of my personal problems, none of them were made better by drinking. I can't escape … Continue reading Yes, I Could Drink →

Finding The Quiet

Dear Readers, When I get tired of hearing with my cochlear implants, which is often, I just take them off. (The sounds are harsh, and I have to think to hear.) Of course, this makes Mr. UT a bit annoyed when I ask him questions with them off. (LOL) Sometimes I ask him if he … Continue reading Finding The Quiet →

Navigating the World

Dear Readers, I never know when an idea or a thought I want to write about will pop into my head, but often times when I play Candy Crush Soda! It's like a meditation for me, as it's mindless and pretty! LOL So today, as I was playing my game, I had an "ah ha" … Continue reading Navigating the World →

Little Adventures, Big Adventures

Dear Readers, Before Covid, I always thought of adventures as something big and exciting, like climbing a mountain, or drag racing, something that is really hazardous or out of my comfort zone, exciting and new. This often, not always, involved traveling. Then came Covid, and things came to a halt. My definition of adventure started … Continue reading Little Adventures, Big Adventures →

Acceptance and Love

Dear Readers, I saw my older skin at yoga class today, my arms sagging with wrinkled skin, but for today, I didn't care, because my body was moving. My body wasn't hurting, so I was very happy. Other days, I cringe and look away from the mirror, taking and retaking a selfie many times, to … Continue reading Acceptance and Love →

A Snowfall with Naps

Dear Readers, We were very lucky to get to visit New York City during this holiday season, before they started shutting down some venues due to the new Covid surge. I've always wanted to see the big Christmas tree, ice skating ponds, and other sights that I only have seen on television in New York. … Continue reading A Snowfall with Naps →

Connections Take Work

Dear Readers, Don't you just hate it when someone disappears without letting anyone know? That would be me on Word Press! I will read and post, then just stop for awhile, but it would probably be a good thing to let people know I am taking a break so sober friends don't think I've gone … Continue reading Connections Take Work →
