Keep Dancing….

Dancing Quote 2 of 3: “And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche I hope everyone accepted Friday’s challenge and had their own impromptu dance party this weekend, we had several, including one while playing golf…Always keep your ears open, there is […]

Dance Baby Dance

I read a blog today that really resonated with me, to such a degree that I’m setting aside my planned post in it’s honour. I was also challenged by Simon Wood to do 3 quotes over 3 days. This was the second challenge quote, the first one came in when I was on holidays and […]

It’s everyones’ holiday….

I’ve just returned from a wonderful vacation in Costa Rica, specifically Tamarindo and Playa Langosta. What a beautiful country. There were five of us: my sister (it was her birthday), two girlfriends and my husband. Yes, he was there with four women. Travelling with other people can be stressful; will there be one person who […]

No limits!

As a child I lived in a tropical country, there were amazing storms with lightening, thunder and torrential rain. When the rain passed the streets had lovely streams of water flowing on either side, carving paths in the mud and ditches, twigs and leaves drifting along. In the garden the flower beds would have pools […]

Repeat after me….

Have you ever said a word over and over and over and over, repeating repeating ’til meaning is gone? Just how long must you wait, to no longer be confounded? To have the meaning returned, your brain, no longer astounded, by your utterly useless waste of it’s time in trying to figure out, what rhymes, with […]

Glass House

Firstly, a disclaimer, I’m not an expert on running, however….today at the gym I saw something that seemed wrong. One of the ladies had the speed on the treadmill set really fast and she would periodically grab the front of the treadmill or the handrails to kinda keep up with her feet. Even with my […]

This week…

This week I received an email from the university letting me know which courses are open for registration. I’ve got two starting in a couple of weeks but I browsed the list anyway, one of the courses caught my eye so I clicked it, and for some reason I felt excitement, an awakening of positive […]

The Best Part

This last few days have been a whirlwind of activity, first preparing for family arriving (groceries, booze, decorating, making beds, presents for kids) and then entertaining. Fabulous time had by all…or so they said, I choose to believe them. But what’s the best part when friends and family come to stay? The first night of […]

Left foot…right foot, triple V step

This morning I went to the gym, to a step class. It starts simple: step up, down…step wide (that’s the V step), step on the corner, lift your knee, step on the other corner, lift your knee three times, then V, then Ham, then V, then triple knee, triple V, double Ham…corner to corner across […]

Four times longer…

For three days I’ve been painting the basement. I’m about half done, I see some of you nodding, slightly smirking… for those of you familiar with “we aren’t hiring someone, I can do this, it’s not that big a job” please feel free to add your two cents. Painting the ensuite a nice Robins […]
