What to make of random events and sightings? Shrug. Accept them. Give them meaning. Discount them. My mom believed everything had meaning. Everything was a symbol. For everything, there was a sign. I used to laugh at her propensity for uber-symbolism. However, I was steeped in it. And, […]
I love working out. I often begrudgingly wake up early to go work out. I either go for a 60-minute walk or 45 minutes on the elliptical. Once I’m working out, I get pumped and jazzed. Sometimes working out longer than originally intented. Why do I get so […]
What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? I’m not a hoarder. However, I readily admit that I have some clothes, shoes, and handbags that I’ve had for decades. I suppose I’m lucky, in a sense, that those items not only have lasted so long […]
