Today … and the past week or so I have been up before 6 AM! Why because I am staying with my family and there are two young men in my world daily! One morning I was wakened at 5:45 AM! He stood at the edge of the bed and said, “Gramma, I kind ofContinue reading “What’s EARLY!?”

Time … I have talked about this before
Where does time collapse into? Whether I think about something from 62 years ago, in 1963 like my sister’s wedding where I was a flower girl at four years old, or my thoughts about yesterday’s hike in the woods, where do these memories go for me to then recollect them later? I find that soContinue reading “Time … I have talked about this before”
Micro watching
My red coffee cone, black fine grind, yellow container with grounds, blue t-shirt, black leggings …. wet shower, cool breeze in the window, sun rising further into the south and setting the same, red kettle boiling the water, blue sky of welcome ….. the morning has arrived. I am leaning into this stage called ‘retirement’.Continue reading “Micro watching”
The Next Adventure
Shane (my son) said to me, “Mom you said you were NEVER going to do another solo hike, when you were in Ireland.” I said, “One learning as we age is NEVER say NEVER!” Funny how in the throes of adventure the lows can make you say things you really do not mean. Being inContinue reading “The Next Adventure”
Are you fired up or down or in or out?
Day 21 – Today’s reading in Older, Wiser, Fiercer is one that I would love to put up for all to read, because there is so much in it that I relate, I’m finding it difficult to whittle it down to a quote or two! As I lay in bed this morning thinking about myContinue reading “Are you fired up or down or in or out?”
Two days in one
Day 14 – We have reached the fullness of the March 2025 equinox moon. Not only have we reached this regular monthly cycle, but we were gifted with an eclipse. A full eclipse where the moon took on a beautiful, shadowed hue. A rusty coloured silhouette in the sky through the night last night. DidContinue reading “Two days in one”
March 2025 third third living
Daily reflections in March – finding the light of aging …. Day 1 – I am declaring March 2025 the month I reclaim my heart, soul and spirit. Each day I will post a quote or words from an author I enjoy and learn from. The theme is based on Carol Orsborn and her bookContinue reading “March 2025 third third living”
Lining up the power
I have an older Electrolux canister vacuum cleaner. I have had it since my mom died in 2009 and we distributed the items from the house. Before that it was used in the 90’s as divine suction. It was used weekly to clean up the church. Mom and dad inherited it when the church closedContinue reading “Lining up the power”
Generative Aging
The Change of Year is upon us soon and as we shift focus from 2024 to 2025 it is being realized we are ¼ of the way through this century. Remember Y2K? Do you realize babies born in the year 2000 are now 25 years old? Time marches on at a speed by which weContinue reading “Generative Aging”
