I’m a lucky girl: TOLT
I'm Thinking Out Loud about all the good things in my life. It's all in your perspective. I was sitting here working on the computer yesterday when snap! The lights (and computer) went off.

Team Energetic or Team Lazy?
Energetic. It seems like such a simple topic, doesn't it? And yet ... when I think about energetic, today's Wednesday Word, initially I was at a loss.

2016 Goals: How’s that working for me?

Good judgement comes from experience
Oddly enough, I don't find runners to be judgemental, the Wednesday Word for this week. You know who I do find to be judgemental? The non-runners! I am a solid BOTP (back of the packer) to sometimes MOTP (middle of the pack), depending on the race and who shows up. My most recent race was a small race … Continue reading Good judgement comes from experience
