I haven’t Forgotten You, My Friends …
It’s been a crazy ride the last few months …most of the time, I have just hung on for dear life or thrown my hands up and screamed …sometimes melted into a little puddle on the floor …but not that often🙃 With the holidays over …visiting friends and relatives departed …a close friend with a […]
Madder than a Wet Hen …
As any Southern would understand …the dark clouds were blowin’ up a storm… The journey up to that point had been beyond exhausting …airports…airports and more airports …from Port Elizabeth, a 3:30 pm flight to Johannesburg …a 3-hour layover…11 1/2-hour Flight to Heathrow with a 5-hour layover…an 8-hour flight to Dulles …2 days and no […]

Atomic Habits…
Atomic Habits…a book written by James Clear is one of the best books that I have read on the importance of tiny habits making a dramatic difference in our lives… I saw my dietician last Friday…three days ago…I had gained some since I first saw her in February…but now I am in a different place…more […]
