In life as in business, emotions don't really help. In important situations losing focus and letting go can be harmful and costly. I know that when I speak wih folks who have lost perspective it is going to be a very long day. It is always important to remember the goal and move toward it. My exp

Yesterday I had a 7AM dental appointment. I was done before 9AM and it was good to have the day free of "have to stuff." So today in keeping with that, I am off to the market which opens at 7Am and expect to be back home by 8 AM. I'm looking forward to being in before the sleet or snow which is

My appointment at the dentist was at 7 AM. The parking lot was almost empty but the lights were on in the building. The sun was not totally up but there was a lot of activity in the office. Well, hello there, is what I heard as I came in. Incredible how busy it got at such an early time. Going to

It is Friday and with luck my contractors will be here to complete the shelving on the inside of my shed. This used to be an outhouse and was inhabited by all things critter. I hated to update it, but I really had no choice as varmints from all over were making it their home and my pups wanted in

In the summer I really enjoy a rainy day. It takes the edge off and breaks the heat. In the winter snow is what I wait for and enjoy. I moved to New England to experience variety and I certainly have it in western Massachusetts. I live in a fairyland with every type of activity available througho

I have been having difficulty saving blog posts in draft mode. I can write the post and when I attempt to add a picture.....it freezes and I can't save it. As a work around I copy and paste it to an email. Later I upload the paste and am able to get the picture. I did this last night and saved it

One of the most special parts of travel is being able to go back over the trip by looking at photos. I was in Kenya in November and it was a wonderful experience, moving time and unusual in so very many ways. I have hundreds of photos and while they don't do my trip justice, they do trigger my me
