RIP, Chester: 12/28-1/3 Weekly Wrap
Yes, in case you missed it, we came to the end of our long road with Chester this weekend. It was hard, it is hard, and only time will help, I know this; it's not the first time I've been here. But first let's go on to happier things. I'm joining up with Holly of Hoho … Continue reading RIP, Chester: 12/28-1/3 Weekly Wrap
Spilling over high tea: Chester, 9/2/05 – 1/2/16
If we met up for coffee (or tea, in my case), I'd simply tell you that I am both heartbroken and at peace; today we helped Chester over the rainbow bridge. I am joining up with Coco, Deborah, and Lynda for their ultimate coffee tea date, because so many of you have supported us in our journey and sent your … Continue reading Spilling over high tea: Chester, 9/2/05 – 1/2/16
5 Reasons Respect is my 2016 Word
Every year I pick a word. It's meant to be my focus for the year. It isn't easy distilling what you want from your year down to just one word, let me tell you! Many words are considered; only one is chosen. I believe that my word for 2015 was progress, and I sure lived … Continue reading 5 Reasons Respect is my 2016 Word
Is a Healthy S’mores Mug Cake an Oxymoron? TOLT

Resolutions
Tomorrow marks the end of 2015. I won't lie; it's a year I'm happy to be done with, but even with all the bad (you can read about my year in running here, and here, and here), there was quite a bit of good in there, too. I also know, for sure, that more heartache … Continue reading Resolutions
Running 2015, Part II
So we left off my 2015 running year in June (you can read part I of 2015 here and the 2015 Running Survey here), with running going well, a good half and a bad half, and some personal good and bad times (pun intended).

Running Christmas Lights in a Sparkleskirt: 12/21-12/27 Weekly Wrap
A little more strength training, a little less yoga, but still on my #yogastreak. I was bound and determined to get in 3 ST sessions this week since last week I only managed 2, and despite a kind of busy and crazy week, I managed (thanks partially to my husband, who took Chester to … Continue reading Running Christmas Lights in a Sparkleskirt: 12/21-12/27 Weekly Wrap
5 Random 2015 Photos
Got random photos? Why yes, yes I do. And since I started this blog in June, I thought I'd try to share some I don't think have appeared on the blog (although they probably appeared on my Facebook page).

A white Christmas walks barefoot into a backpack: TOLT
That subject will make sense to you if you just bear with me and my Thinking Out Loud -- I promise. Why should Christmas be white? Explain to me why you so want Christmas to be white.
