What better time to make a fresh start than spring—the season of new beginnings? So you’ve forgotten all about your New Year’s goals. Who cares? This is the new beginning—the first day of the rest of your life, and all that jazz. Of course, “new beginning” indicates that we will do something different this time….
This Friday Favorites crosses the border from magical Mazatlan back to home sweet home. And if you ask me, both sides are pretty great. I hope we never reach a point where we wall off whole countries from ourselves. Part of what made our trip so great was the wonderful mixture of people we met from all…
As we are nearing the end of a delightful vacation, I am torn between not wanting the magic to end and wanting to see my family again. I am just not ready to let go of the utter relaxation I have enjoyed this past 12 days. So I ask myself how can I hang on…
This week’s Friday Favorites is an exercise in self-control. I am limiting myself to one picture per day and one sentence per picture. That’s not an easy task when you’re somewhere as beautiful as Nuevo Mazatlan. Wish me luck! Friday, March 10 Saturday, March 11 Sunday, March 12 Monday, March 13 …
Well, I’m traveling, so you know what that means—besides lots of vacation pics on the next Friday Favorites—there will be a book recommendation in the near future. I thought I might as well get on with it, since I finished a good one early in the trip: The Flower Arrangement by Ella Griffin. The Flower…
Another week with much to celebrate–from a funny candy wrapper to my beautiful grandchildren to a much anticipated trip to Mazatlan! Let’s get started. Solid advice from Dove Chocolates. Now I just need to start an argument… So proud of these boys! They worked hard for their spots on the respective Cottonwood High soccer teams. Congratulations…
Or more accurately “How to live with an Introvert Intuitive Feeling Judging (INFJ) Personality.” I recently took a free online personality test (the Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test™), and learned I’m an INFJ. As I was reading the description (which felt eerily accurate), it struck me that I may not always be the easiest person to…
My week was full–full with fitness, food, family, and furniture! It started with fitness. I renewed my yearly membership at the Park Center in Murray. I have to say I love this place. It is perfectly situated between my office and my home; it is well-maintained; the staff is friendly; and there is an indoor…
I am not a morning person. The alarm clock and I are not friends. This Irving Berlin song that my mom used to sing to us children in the mornings just about sums it up: Oh! how I hate to get up in the morning, Oh! how I’d love to remain in bed; For the…
It’s Friday, and you know what that means–time to look back on the many good things that happened this week. Thank you Courtney and children for spending your Saturday evening with us. (Full disclosure: I didn’t take this picture; I stole it from Courtney’s Facebook.) Thank you peanut butter for making everything a little better–and thank…
