Gardening, music, life with MS
In past two days the weather has been cooperating, (high 60’s/70) for me to get back into the garden. Both days I went out late in the afternoon, (daylight savings time has helped). It’s funny that I used to limit myself. If I rode my bike, then I couldn’t work in the garden. If I […]
I am constantly aware of the struggle I have with standing up straight. Most of my day at home is spent either sitting or walking around with my walker. This has contributed to my forward leaning self. When I am standing, doing laundry, washing dishes, cooking, counting out my daily pills, making coffee, etc., my […]
Dolly Parton is my hero! Besides being one of the most loved and admired music stars there is, she is also an acclaimed writer and humanitarian. Her giving of herself is endless. Yesterday, Dolly Parton withdrew her name for consideration into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What a brave, selfless woman! As you […]
On an episode of The Today Show, their guest was Sara Gottfried, M.D. She is the author of several books relating to resetting your hormones as you age. The book that I am giving an overview of is: “The Hormone Reset Diet.” This appealed to me because of the claim that it will heal your […]

Upon reading the article which is a book excerpt from “The Whole Body Reset,” by Stephen Perrine. The diet is a 10 day reset plan. Basically it is […]
This month, March, I weighed in on the 6th, at 138.4 lbs. I’m entering late because we went away again. Honestly, I don’t believe it. Since the start of monthly weigh ins I’ve lost 3 to 3 1/2 lbs. I don’t feel it at all. I am not dieting but I have returned to riding […]
I’ve mentioned before how afraid I am for the state of unrest here in the USA. Now we have “Putin’s War.” The images coming from Ukraine are horrible. Families being separated, homes and schools being bombed. It is encouraging to see the Ukrainian people fighting for their freedom, their president right there with his people. […]
My frustration with P came to a head this weekend. We were going out to do some errands. First of all I had to wait until he was ready, which ended up being very late in the afternoon, 4:30. No matter how many times I’ve stated that my high energy is in the morning. Next […]
My energy is back! I’m so grateful. I volunteered yesterday and came home very tired. I didn’t do anything the rest of the day and felt guilty. Today I woke up thinking of all the things I needed to do and feeling a bit overwhelmed. I wanted to do a load of laundry, write in […]
This morning I saw the bluebirds making a nest in the bluebird house! That makes me so happy!
