It’s true. I looked through my Garmin data and I spend slightly less than 4 hours on average in the gym lifting weights. Of course, this is not to say I’m not otherwise active. And lifting weights alone does not make one “fit.” I walk, hike, bike, play with my dogs. I like to beContinue reading “I Spend 4 Hours a Month Lifting Weights”

Second Chances
Second chances are a beautiful thing. In family or friendship or marriage, it’s wonderful when a rift or a detachment can be mended by a second chance. But sometimes it is very hard.

Poem: Awake
Sharing today a poem that requires no explanation but I know so many people are starting to feel it.
