    Sydney on Standby

    Sydney was the destination for Tim’s birthday this year. Since 2022, when Tim turned 50, we decided we should go away for his birthday every year. I’m grateful that we’ve been able to continue this. This year, however, it was a bit unconventional because there wasn’t the typical planning for…

    Goals for 2024

    Goals…Of course it wouldn’t be January 1st without a “New Year, New Me” type of post. This is one is a bit different, though. It’s self-serving. Despite that, I’m hoping you’ll find some motivation in it. I’m using this more as a journal entry. I’d like to be able to…

    Quitters Day

    Quitters Day sounds like something that we should not be celebrating, but there are some things we should consider quitting. Admittedly, I had never heard of this Quitters Day prior to this year. When I came across it, the phrase piqued my interest. After a quick Google search, I learned…

    Resolutions…Yay or Nay?

    Resolutions or not? It’s the beginning of the year. You know, that time when the calendar tells us to proclaim, “New Year. New Me!” *insert eyeroll* It’s very easy to fall into the trap of a New Year’s resolution. After all, it IS a new year. There’s no shortage of…

    Guess Who’s Back Again!

    Back again? Yes, it’s me! If you’ve followed me at all during the last 10 or so years, you’ll know that I’ve tried my hand at blogging on several occasions during that time. Each of those times, the blog varied a bit. It focused on one specific topic that I…
