Finally a full week of warm weather! It’s so much easier to feel grateful when the sun is shining. And it didn’t hurt that we had several family events this week. First was a barbecue at the elementary school, where I got to see three of my granddaughters. Then, of course, another…
Happy Friday! It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood! Actually, it’s been a beautiful week around here–weatherwise and otherwise! 🙂 I hope yours was the same. Saturday was perfect football weather (yes, you can find football in the spring if you know where to look). These girls are 12 years old and fierce! I couldn’t…
My how time flies! Apparently–according to the calendar, at least–we are one month into spring. I’m not sure Old Man Winter got the message. Nevertheless, I am moving full-speed ahead (or slightly below the speed limit) on my Spring Bucket List. Health and fitness 1. Train for and complete the Utah Valley 10k. I started…
This Friday finds me full of gratitude, even more than usual. I am grateful for the ability to travel–paid vacation from my employer, disposable income to spend on airfare and accommodations, the technology that makes it possible to travel 1,500 miles in four hours. I am grateful for friends around the world–friends I’ve met in…
It’s birthday season in our family. In the one-week period between March 31 and April 6, all three of our delightful daughters celebrate birthdays. Then it’s a grandson on the 8th, followed by my husband on the 12th. That doesn’t even take into consideration the extended family and friends with April birthdays. This week’s Friday…
I love the start of each new season. It always feels like an opportunity for new beginnings and fresh starts. That is especially true of spring, which is naturally the season of rebirth. This week brought my first trail run of the season. I am so lucky to have the beautiful Jordan River Parkway so…
Happy Friday everyone! This week’s Friday Favorites was meant to be a picture a day, but there was one day that I just couldn’t choose, so you may get a bonus pic. Friday: Don’t you just love it when your new manicure matches your new water glass–and you didn’t even plan it? Saturday:Â A beautiful day…
Daylight Saving Time begins this Sunday for many of us in the U.S., or as I like to say Spring Ahead! For me, Spring Ahead isn’t just about turning the clocks ahead one hour, it’s more a signal of hope: Spring Ahead! As in, colorful flowers ahead: As in, outdoor running ahead: As in, sandals…
Happy Friday! I hope your week was a good one. Mine brought several opportunities for celebration, so this week’s Friday Favorites is all about celebrating good times–large and small. Larry and I had planned on going to the Ice Castles in Midway last weekend. (Some of you may recall that was one of my Winter…
Happy Friday all! I hope your week was full of little things that made you smile. I’m using this Friday Favorites to say thank you to a few of the people and things that brought a smile to my face this week. (Of course, I’d start with food.) Thank you EMI Health for offering three…
