  • A Goal is Achieved

    Thursday, April 17, 2008 | A Positive story

    I decided to close out this goal for a couple of reasons. Spring is here and I have been spending tons of time outdoors raking and overseeding and turning compost into the soil. Now that's stuff I do every spring but this year we had a professional take down 2 trees that were far too large and far too close to our house to feel comfy handling ourselves. I have been spending a minimum of 6 hrs...

  • Hello to all of the members of Daily Strenght.
    It has been a very strange last 6 months here at DS, but I am to fast to think that things could and can be back to the way they were in 2007.
    Ever since 2008 has started, this place felt more like a battle field than a place where we once felt like it was our Haven.
    Do I dare to think that this Preditor is gone and gone for good.
    I will start coming her...

  • Hard times...regular folks are amazing

    Thursday, September 18, 2008 | A Positive story

    As I watch our stock market tumbling I find myself feeling cynical, how did these folks get us IN to this mess!  I then remember one of the the coolest coolest things about my job....THE PEOPLE...I get inspired all over again and I have to think we will all be ok.  When I do talks in schools or community groups I tell kids about the long haul medicine entails&nb...

  • it aint the closets

    Sunday, November 16, 2008

  • I MISS MALA KOALA!

    Monday, April 6, 2009 | A Positive story

     
    So, as most of you know (I think?), Mala (littlemiss) came all the way from the UK to stay with me for ten days here in sunny (and windy, currently!) California!   In the beginning, I was really nervous about it, anxious about the day when Mala finally came.  My hubby drove me down to Los Angeles airport (about 1.5 hours south of my town), where we picked her up, and of cours...

  • Glad this week is over with....

    Friday, August 7, 2009 | A Positive story

    Well I'm sure happy this week is almost done.
    It's been rough, but great at the same time.
    This morning, I will be leaving to get the blood work,
    to
    determine if my PCP should change my meds,
    for my newly diagnosed, Diabetes.
    I've been doing quite well, but since my Mother's
    accident, well it kinda disrupted my eating habits
    so, now that she is doing better,
    I don't have to be there ...

  • The demon may disguise itself as a sexy cigar !

    Monday, August 31, 2009 | A Positive story

    After carefully perusing the considerable, considerate, considerations of my slip (I wish Nic Demon wouldn't crap all over the place). I decided that i deserve to start ooooooover!
    If I'd had just a puff or two, a slap on my stinky hand might be fair enough, and I would continue on with my 200+ day quit.  But I smoked the whole freaking thing, religh...

  • Journal Entry for October 19, 2009

    Monday, October 19, 2009 | A Positive story

    I always try to think positive, I try not to dwell on the fact that with age and health we are always changing and the best way to face something is with a poditive attitude. with my family and frinds as my support team, I feel can face any challenge. I started out this morning with a good walk and a lot of serious breathing.
