Just doing that part would be a haul, as it was all uphill to get there. So, I could sit at the … More Stuck the Landing
5/6/24 So much over this last week has caused me to just stare in awe, at the vastness of Horseshoe Bend, at the Strength of the Glen Canyon Dam, at the incredibleness of both Lower & Upper Antelope Canyons. I am often in awe of what I find in nature, which is one of the … More In Awe
4/30/24 #wherewerv #solTuesdays The fact that things will eventually break hasn’t changed. Think about your house or your car. Things will need to be replaced or repaired, even when you are on top of your maintenance, which we are. (And by “we”, I mean mostly Greg.)

(If you are not sure about that, read yesterday’s post here.) For me anxiety is a knot in my stomach, a heart beat that’s a little faster than necessary, … More Anti-Anxiety “Medication” aka Gratitude
3/25/24 SOLSC Day 25 If you catch yourself worrying often, you might want to skip this post. I wouldn’t want to put ideas in your head. (I’m worried about you, too! I am a worry champion. You might say I’m a warrior when it comes to worrying. I will take them all on, so pile … More Warrior Worrier
3/3/24 One of my favorite parts of cold weather is soup. (Yeah, that might be my only favorite part….) We eat homemade soups almost every week. We still have salads, too, but not as often as the main part of the meal. As the weather gets warmer, all kinds of salads appear more frequently. (We … More Soups to Salads
3/2/24 Anyone who has taught knows that this job can be very challenging for a multitude of reasons. I had a discussion recently about challenging classes, and what made them feel that way. This caused me to reflect on my perspectives of those years, which led to this. What would you add to these opposites? … More When I Feel Exhausted, It’s Time to Find Joy (AKA Teaching Can Be Hard)
