Getting on Track


I love all living things: people, animals, and plants. I am an amateur herbalist, and love to cook with and use herbs for all sorts of things.

My weight gain has happened gradually, and I'm not starving myself to take it off. Exercise is key with me. As the grandmother of seven, I find that weight no longer bounces off like it once did. I actually wonder if I really should be the soft pillow my own grandmother was that made her hugs wonderful! Then I think about the health ...

My weight gain has happened gradually, and I'm not starving myself to take it off. Exercise is key with me. As the grandmother of seven, I find that weight no longer bounces off like it once did. I actually wonder if I really should be the soft pillow my own grandmother was that made her hugs wonderful! Then I think about the health challenges that presents, and I get "real."

I'm now a Master Gardener, and live on a wooded two acre property, with loads of places for improvement. Trying to get better at planning: my meals, my garden, and my time.

    Thank you for the comment. We are now moving and my exercise minutes are lifting, carrying, packing and cleaning. We have had movers move the big things but there is cleaning and packing small stuff. We were not planning to put the house back on the market until May. The realtor called and had people that needed a large area for 3 big dogs. Well, we had 3 big dogs and an acre fenced. We also had a big shed for the dog house for them to be together. So we sold the house. We are moving into a small house temporarily. So I will be repeating all this later this summer when our new house is ready. I can’t go to the gym now anyway.

    I thought about the Mr. Rogers movie, too. We have to keep looking to things that will help, not things that will drag us further down!

    Thanks for coming by the blog today!

    Stay safe and well!

    Good call on the feline body language... that's an old photo, taken for exactly that reason... I have it titled "sibling rivalry" in my files! They do kind of compete with one another.

    Hee-hee... I see you're browsing my photo gallery... that photo on Easter with my sister was in Lincoln, at the Sunken Gardens. There are places in Omaha that might look similar, but with all the travel I've done over the years, I see similar places ALL over!

    I see you went hunting for puppy pictures of Carl, and you found them. He joined my son in May last year, at a tiny 8 weeks. He's nearly a year old now, and looks grown, but still retains a few puppy traits, kind of like adolescent humans do!

    Thanks for taking me on a walk down memory lane with your comments. What's wonderful about our pups is how they cause love to bubble up in ourselves!
