This little path took about 20 minutes & there’s still ice underneath! By Thursday I had uncovered about 2/3 of the driveway with the help of Mr. Judy -- although poor Bandit didn't get any paths in the backyard. Too frozen, not enough sun, and the driveway was the priority. I wasn't really that sore … Continue reading Heavy Lifting: 2/7 – 13 WRD

January 2022
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. -- Dalai Lama I showed myself compassion by realizing that at least in Winter, I just cannot go and stay for days at my mom's. I don't sleep well. It's stressful. I know what these visits mean to her, but I also know … Continue reading January 2022
Outside 2; TM 1: 1/14 – 30 WRD

Sometimes it would … Continue reading Outside 2; TM 1: 1/14 – 30 WRD
