Compassion is the wish to see others free of suffering. -- The Dalai Lama I consider myself to be a compassionate person, but I'm not going to lie -- sometimes my mother's complaining gets to me, the way she sometimes rewrites history. The quote above is a good reminder to me to just be a … Continue reading Compassion: May 2022

Hello from ME!: 5/23 – 29 WRD
Well, we're home now, but I managed not to post while we were in ME (you never know who's reading!). So not much running this week, but plenty of cross training. I am currently sharing a day by day recap of our adventures on Facebook (follow me here). So many great photos! I'm joining Kim … Continue reading Hello from ME!: 5/23 – 29 WRD
Peloton & Treadmills: Runfessions May 2022
I runfess . . .I originally was thinking about another 5k in in May. Then it got suddenly hot (and the day the race was run would potentially have thunderstorms as a cold front was supposed to come through). Then COVID started surging again, and I decided it just wasn't a race I wanted to … Continue reading Peloton & Treadmills: Runfessions May 2022
Compassion: April 2022
When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen. -- Ernest Hemingway It's easy to nod your head and say um-hmm while just thinking about what you want to say next -- or eat next, LOL -- right? Especially when you may have been involved in something when the person spoke. This is a reminder … Continue reading Compassion: April 2022
Did I race this week?: 4/18 – 24 WRD
I'm doing a play on my Did I run there posts (here and here). So did I race this week? I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and running from Winter to Spring -- again! Workouts update Monday: Yoga AM (30 min), hiking Montgomery Place & Falling Waters Preserve, drive home from moms, Yoga … Continue reading Did I race this week?: 4/18 – 24 WRD
Let Freedom Ring: 4/11 – 17 WRD
Happy Easter or Passover if you celebrate! My Icalendar tricked me into thinking Passover began Thursday night. Oops! I know Mr. Judy enjoyed that brisket anyway. Turns out we had a little house drama on Friday, so maybe starting Passover early ended up being a good thing (nothing too dramatic, but annoying & frustrating). Title … Continue reading Let Freedom Ring: 4/11 – 17 WRD
Compassion: March 2022
We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or omit to do, and more in the light of what they suffer. -- Dietrich Bonhoeffer I continue to work on my compassion. Elderly people can be (but not always are) very self centered. They don't realize when they tell you … Continue reading Compassion: March 2022
Keeping dry: 3/28 – 4/3 WRD
There was nice and not-so-nice weather this week. It is April, after all. Grateful April Fool's didn't dump snow on us -- it often does. Just rain this year. It was a busy easy week, if that makes sense. I'm joining Kim @ Kimrunsonthefly and Deborah @ Confessionsofamotherrunner, and cheering on our hosts in their … Continue reading Keeping dry: 3/28 – 4/3 WRD
DE Reflections: Tea/coffee Date April 2022
I've got some musings from our trip to DE to discuss over our hot beverages. As always, grateful to Coco and Deborah, for hosting us, even though -- just like in March -- we still need our hot beverages! If we were enjoying tea/coffee . . .I'd ask you if your first quarter of 2022 went well … Continue reading DE Reflections: Tea/coffee Date April 2022
Decluttering & Organizing: 1/3 – 9 WRD
I didn't feel great in the beginning of the week (left over from last week), rested but did stuff (more on that in the Favorites of the Week), felt better, got more active -- and then had to rest some more. I still learned a lot this week and accomplished a lot while moving (some) … Continue reading Decluttering & Organizing: 1/3 – 9 WRD
