Brave Conversation
Last year I hurt my hip and was in physical therapy for a couple of months. I made a pretty good run of it on my own since then exercising, stretching, and walking as much as I can. However, recently the hip started hurting again including sciatica. I did what I knew to try to […]
Missed the Wind
The weather forecast for today was unusually warm with strong winds. I went out and about this morning and when I returned home, the sun was shining warm and the wind was only a breeze. My mom had sat outside for a while, but had not taken a walk. We try to get out every […]

Simple Encounters
I was out and about running errands today. Tomorrow’s weather is supposed to be cold and icy, so I wanted to get as much done as possible and get home with dinner. There were a couple instances that made me take a step back and smile. I was going into one store and held the […]
