Today I watched on YT one of my fav interviewers and he had a special video that was excerpts from past interviews. It is called Life Advice from 80+ Year Olds You Didn’t Know You Needed and has people I who I know their work well. He omitted their identity, (why I don’t know, oversight?)Continue reading “The key is in your pocket”

The challenge of knowing
These pieces are all random and laying around my table. They represent a picture that will come together when I take the time to move them and match them up. Otherwise, this puzzle, in its scatter will simply remain scattered. Our lives are a splat! A scattering of puzzle pieces according to Dr. Sue Mortar.Continue reading “The challenge of knowing”
“Where there is life there is hope.”
This title is a quote from my favourite show, Downton Abbey, of course. If you have followed my writing at all I am sure you know that. I was standing at the front window looking to the east as the sun was appearing and thought to myself how blessed I am. Where there is lifeContinue reading ““Where there is life there is hope.””
What’s EARLY!?
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”
