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 →

To Hug a Sunset

Sunset at Lake Bde Maka Ska, Minneapolis, Minnesota Dear Readers, I am not an early riser. Never was, never will be. So I hardly ever catch a sunrise, but I can see a sunset. Where I live we have many trees so it's difficult to see the broad horizon. Instead, in the evening, I watch … Continue reading To Hug a Sunset →

Unenforceable Rules

Dear Readers, Last week I had some very low, blue days, ones where I slipped back into feeling sorry for myself. It’s always something simple, in this case another cold. For whatever reason, colds make my emotional balance get off course. Combined with non stop cloudy days, I get moody and weepy. I ache all … Continue reading Unenforceable Rules →

New York City

Dear Readers, I am in New York City! Mr. UT and I have been here before, but I have never been here by myself. Actually, the first time was when I was a youngster, and I remember a few things from that time. The first was that the some of the steps in the Empire … Continue reading New York City →

Widening My World

Dear Readers, Just a quick update on my word of the year, "challenge". It's only been six days, but writing this helps me keep accountable. I have just started a good book on changing habits, and so far it's been one of the best ones I've read. It's called Atomic Habits, by James Clear. One … Continue reading Widening My World →

Word of The Year

Dear Readers, I have been trying to pick a WOTY for 5 years! I could never think of just one, and I was always worried I'd choose the wrong one.
