Morning! Heather I also recommend Bryson’s “a walk in the woods”. Laugh out loud funny take on hiking the Appalachian trail”. Right now I’m rereading bourdain’s “kitchen confidential” such a fine writer :'( Lisa sometimes I like a reset from my external tools—a break from relying on them, but I couldn’t deal without my pen…

DH and I walked around the neighborhood discussing the back fence that our neighbor wants to put in, we think it is a good idea but are going to wait and see what the estimate and our share would actually be before we decide to go all in. The spring time weather, the tulip bulbs sprouting, the later sun set time, all have…

Heather I think you've been to Morocco before no? My DH and I were just fondly remembering our visit, my profile pic is DH and I in the Sahara at sunset. We loved the architecture, food, people, etc. We would definitely visit there again. Never been to the Canaries, though. Don't think you could go wrong with either! A…

Happy Sunday, my DH woke early and left for a soccer game but realized he had the wrong weekend once he arrived at the field! He called on the drive home and asked for a walking date, which I was happy to accept. It was chilly on the walk along the Hudson River, we listened to crows and woodpeckers and saw a few runners,…

Morning all. What a difference a good night's rest makes! Feeling better, though my wrists hurt a bit still. My sister and I are going to plan a gathering in June to celebrate a great number of milestones: 1 sibling retires, 1 sibling turns 60, my daughter graduates college, 1 niece graduates college, 1 niece graduates…

Happy Friday! Lots to be grateful for, from the simplest sign of spring, (my tulip bulbs are shooting up ever so slightly) to the "smileyest" kiddo in my class. I'm breathing it in and hitting reset on my mindfulness goal. NYKAREN

beth the sun is shining in upstate NY but check out this house in hoover beach I saw on the news today! Happy leap day, I'm limiting my computer time and doing my exercises, stretches, hot and cold wraps-in other words, really working at healing this "thumb tendonitis". Love my hand Doctor, he is so supportive,…

YEP! a mouthful--or rather a handful!! I'nm a violinist but suspect all the cello modeling I do with the kiddos has caused the real problem. Tuning all those little instruments is also a cause, lots of pinching, twisting and grabbing motions, repetitive overuse. NYKAREN

Kelly your mindfulness is an inspiration! <3 My right hand has k-tape and in a splint, teaching, playing, conducting and typing are all restricted-limited....whine and moan, this is tough. Tendonitis in right wrist, no shot yet, just hand therapy 2x per week and exercises, heat and cold treatments and aleve....whine and…

Just got home from a great brunch with my retired nursing friend, she's now teaching violin in her retirement and just so happily…

Barbie love your actions concerning a difficult teaching year. I journal quite a bit and start each day with an index card that lists —“things I get a chance to do” and end with “decisions I made today that were positive.” This has helped me tremendously with handling the toxic environment and has led to better results for…

beth your course of action with hearing aids sounds smart—good luck with this next step <3 Mary you look so fit and healthy, sorry the grands gave you both colds :s Ginny love your backsplash and am impressed with your DYI skills. I have a similar pattern, but with glass tile :) I don’t have a clear pic of my perfect day…

Morning, DH and I had a vigorous hike yesterday, our glutes are still barking :s Kim wish I had been a guest at your pop up! Looked like a great time. My newest journal prompt is to write down the decisions I make each day. It really is another way to notice the positive, and trigger healthy choices. NYKAREN
