When I was young and naive—and 50 was ancient—if someone had told me I’d still be figuring out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life at the ripe old age of 54, I would have been shocked and probably devastated. I mean, for most of us, 50 is well past…
Another week has flown by. Thank you for indulging me in my Friday Favorites. I’ve found that it helps me focus on the positive and take note of the happy things that happen during the week. Something good will happen, and I find myself thinking, “Ooh, I need to remember that for Friday Favorites!” The week…
When my daughters were young, they said some pretty amazing things—some of them profound, some of them funny, some of them so sweet they’d melt your heart. I thought I’d remember them forever. A few I did; most I did not. So when the grandchildren started to say things I didn’t want to forget, I…
It’s Friday again! Time to reflect on the good things that happened during the week and share the joy. Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is the fact that I ran the Bear Lake Half, but since I’ve gone on about that ad nauseam, I’ll focus on the fabulous “book ends” to that day….
I did it! I ran the Bear Lake Half-marathon last Saturday—and I can still walk today, so mission accomplished. It was actually a great race, perfect weather, beautiful (peaceful) scenery, and a satisfactory (though not particularly fast) finish time. But first, let’s rewind to Thursday and the beginning of the trip. Larry, my daughter Ashley,…
It’s Friday again. Time to reflect on all the good things that happened this week. Again with the food! This was a delicious avocado crab omelet at Ruth’s Diner.

She could never go back and make some of the details pretty. All she could do was move forward and make the whole beautiful. ~Terri St. Cloud Everyone is going through some shit—or has been—or is about to. None of us gets through this life unscathed. The goal then is resiliency, bouncing back after hardship,…
It’s Friday, and you know what that means–Friday Favorites! Thank you Connie for teaching me the joys of light microwave popcorn with olive oil. Tastes better than butter and it’s better for you! Win-win. Thank you Midway Utah for having such a great trail to run, even if it’s all hills. This is…
I have a confession to make. Well, actually I have several. Then I hope you’ll return the favor. I thought it might be a fun way to get to know each other better. They say confession is good for the soul, right? I stole this idea from Hungry Runner Girl. I’m obsessed with her…
Round 2 of Friday Favorites. It has been a wonderful week. Here are some highlights in the form of thank-you notes. Thank you Meghan @meghanly for the fabulous Girls on the Run nails. And thank you anonymous coworker that brought this delicious sprinkle donut that had the added bonus of matching my nails! What is your…
