I love flowers

Flower StandOver Christmas, I found myself in a cutesy little flower boutique. The majority of the customers were there for last minute holiday decor.

This place had the most elegant holiday-themed table arrangements, holiday wreaths, and garlands. But that’s not all.

They also had the most lovely and unique flowers I’d ever seen. It was all I could do not to buy myself a few for my bedroom. After all, my birthday would be in just a few days.

I love flowers. Don’t you?

I talked myself out of the self-indulgence, reasoning that I might not even be home in the days following Christmas. There were so many tentative plans afloat that I couldn’t keep track. One of the options was a trip to Yosemite, which we had to put off. In the end, we stayed in town.

Maintaining “Healthy”

Post Practice SelfieLife is good — following my yoga practice. The soreness I wake up to has resolved, at least for the time being. There is certainly more I can and should be doing to keep my body and mind healthy. And while I know that there is much more that I can do to keep my body healthy, I am happy to report that I am consistent in keeping this as a priority.

I have put on about 5 extra pounds over the past year. It’s not a lot, but at 5’2″, I notice it A LOT. I’d like to work it off and know that yoga is not going to do that for me. I need to incorporate some cardio back into my week. The question is WHEN?

I currently have a membership at Retro Fitness but I hate going there. The color scheme of bright red and yellow gives me a headache and reminds me of McDonalds. I think it’s time to cut it loose and possibly find a place that I enjoy — so that I will actually use the membership.

BoBo’s dog LOVES foot. I swear, he will eat anything. I mean ANYTHING! 

When ever anyone goes into the kitchen, he bolts down the stairs to see if he can catch anything that might fall from the counter. I could give him a carrot top, lettuce leaf, or meat scrap and he would eat it up.

Of course, he’s on his best behavior if there’s a possibility of food being involved. He’ll even let me rest dog biscuits on his feet and wait for the “okay” to eat them. He’ll quiver with excitement but he will wait.

Hidden Treasures

We’ve been past here countless times but have never seen these. Like hidden treasures, these lovelies grow just off the trail about 1/4 mile from the parking lot.

Funny what you find, when you open up your eyes and just look around. There are hidden treasures EVERYWHERE.

Puns and Bums

Since the beginning, adventures with Cindy (whether running or hiking) have been filled with laughter and playfulness. Today was the first time we hiked together in the new year. As usual, we had a blast.

If there is one person I can let my guard down around, it would be Cindy. I can be my silliest, most spontaneous, stupid self around her and she will love me just the same.

Spurred by my Daily Photo Project, we stopped every 5 feet or so to snap another photo. Before long, our eyes discovered sights-unseen in our well-traveled stomping grounds. For example, Cindy spotted a “bum” behind me and asked me to pose with him (or “it”). At first, I looked around for who she might be talking about. Then I spotted the “bum” she had eyed… [Read more…]
