There's always something beautiful outside. Today is one of the biggest shopping days in the United States. As a child, I always thought it was strange that the day after we show gratitude we shop. As an adult, I recognize just how commercialized everything has become. The British Hubby often calls this country, The United…Read more Celebrating Life: Opt Outside

Working from Home: Week 39
So often in life things that you regard as an impediment turn out to be great good fortune. ~ Ruth Bader Ginsburg Some weeks drag on and other weeks you have to hold on for the ride. Last week had some challenges. While it might seem like we all want an easy life, wouldn't that…Read more Working from Home: Week 39
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 13
Nothing happens without a reason. ~ Marilyn Monroe Lucky day 13! Or maybe it's a baker's dozen? (Oh man, I can tell I've been pushing myself in my workouts this week. That sentence conjured up images of dancing pastries!) I'm supposed to be writing about opening the last package for my Haunted Handwarmers. I'm a…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 13
Golden Eye
" I enjoy a spirited ride as much as the next girl." ~ Golden Eye This past week was challenging for the British Hubby and I. As challenging as it was, we both believe life is meant to be challenging. What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. A dance party, hot shower, keto pizza and…Read more Golden Eye
Celebrating Life: Just glad it’s Friday
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. ~ Confucius Hello dear followers. It's Friday again. For many of you it's already Saturday. I had a different post planned for today. When I was proof reading it, that post just didn't feel right. Why pretend everything is awesome…Read more Celebrating Life: Just glad it’s Friday
Working from Home: Week 38
Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much. ~ Oscar Wilde Week 38. Each week this number goes up. Part of me still can't believe I'm working from home, and this isn't some colossal joke. (Maybe I've read too much Terry Pratchett? Is that even possible?) When I first started working from home, I…Read more Working from Home: Week 38
Cowl-o-Ween: Days 2, 3 and 4
A bad attitude is like a flat tire, you can't get very far until you change it. A few Fridays ago, I had a celebrate life post about Cowl-o-Ween. I had so much fun with the mitts, I decided to go for the matching cowl. This is a 31 day kal with pretty much the…Read more Cowl-o-Ween: Days 2, 3 and 4
Haunted Handwarmers: Day 12
The undertaking of a new action brings new strength. ~ Richard L. Evans Over the weekend, I realized I'm about to hit the two decade mark for being a knitter. It won't be long before I've been knitting longer than I haven't been knitting. I never stop to ponder how my body is getting older…Read more Haunted Handwarmers: Day 12
Friday the 13th Part 1 and Part 2
"You see, Jason was my son, and today is his birthday." ~ Friday the 13th Many people fear Friday the 13th. Did you know Alfred Hitchcock was born on Friday, August 13, 1899? He was destined to produce great horror, drama and suspense movies. For a month to have a Friday the 13th, it must…Read more Friday the 13th Part 1 and Part 2
Celebrating Life: Hygge
"You don't spell it. You feel it." Winnie-the-Pooh It's Friday again. This Friday I'm celebrating Hygge (pronounced HOO-GA). Back in 2019, I bought The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets to Happy Living. The Scandinavian countries spend some of the year without much natural sunlight. Yet, they all seem so happy. Here's an excerpt from…Read more Celebrating Life: Hygge
