Halfway through September and besides feeling that this month and year are whizzing by, I've learned some lessons from my 5K Challenge. I was reminded that as a human being, I have limitations. Can you believe it? How dare I? As a person who has been active for her entire life, being reminded that I… Continue reading Mid-Month Majestic Meditations and Merry Musings
Remember, remember the 5Ks of September
After last year's marathon, I took some time off from running. I thought to myself, "Hey self, take a break. You've earned it." I told myself that I would start training if I got into the marathon the following year via the raffle. When I didn't get into the raffle, I continued to train but… Continue reading Remember, remember the 5Ks of September
Musings
Some days, hanging out on my chair with my soft blanket, soft pillow and some snacks with a large, chilled glass of water is all I want. I woke up early and got my workout in. At least that's done! Got my grocery shopping done and then headed home to relax, hard core. I worked… Continue reading Musings
WWBD?
You ever have one of those days where you struggle to maintain yourself? I define myself as a positive person, one who believes that people are good and someone who strives to make at least one other person's day a little bit better. Today, I had a hard time being that person, but am happy… Continue reading WWBD?
Lifted Spirits
Are you ever supremely surprised by what can randomly lift your spirits? On August 2nd, my friends and I found ourselves at the Lincoln Center Out of Doors free concert called Liza with a Z. We go to these concerts in Lincoln Center every year. They are so much fun, and really just another item… Continue reading Lifted Spirits
Theatre, theatre, what happened to the theatre?
The other day, I went to a Broadway show with my friend C.L. Now, for those of you who don't know me, I was basically raised by movie musicals and the dream of Broadway. The stories, the music, the dancing... I was a small child entranced. What I am trying to say is that I… Continue reading Theatre, theatre, what happened to the theatre?
Reading is fun!
Not necessarily a revelation. Recently the majority of my reading has had to do with studying. Most anything really. I've been studying on CRBNE, ICS and NIMS protocols and I've also been putting together a study guide for myself for the Critical Care RN Certification test. My prime directives recently have been to focus on… Continue reading Reading is fun!
My Kitchen
Tonight I spent some much needed, therapeutic time in my kitchen. I don't know why, but I had been absent from this sacred space. Lack of time? Exhaustion? Who can really tell. Today, I walked through the grocery store and picked up food that makes me happy: salmon, potatoes, mushrooms. My grandmother used to make… Continue reading My Kitchen
Medicine for the Heart
Hi friends and followers! I know it's been a while since I've written. I had some feelings akin to writer's block as well as a sense of wonderment about whether or not you actually wanted to hear my musings at all. Probably happens to most blog writers. I had fallen in an artistic hole, if… Continue reading Medicine for the Heart
Recent travels and musings
So it's been a while since I wrote. As those of you who may follow my blog know, I just went on a 10 day cruise with my mom, my aunt and her husband, otherwise known as my uncle. We went to the Caribbean! Places I've always wanted to see. I love to travel. Traveling… Continue reading Recent travels and musings
