I kneed it! My knee is getting better and better. Stairs are still tricky aka painful but for the most part I’m in remission. I served at Wood on Saturday night and Sunday brunch. The guys let me have the back section for less steps. I was asked to do a double on Sunday. I ...

Shake it off! Shake it off!
Well, it finally happened! My mom always warned me that ‘if you’re horsing around, someone is bound to get hurt.’ Of course, her prediction technically took a few decades to actualize. On Tuesday night, we were enjoying “Wizard of Oz” at movies in the park. What happens when you’re enjoying a childhood classic? You start to act ...

Gratitude with Grace X 3
A thank you note is the perfect way to let someone know that they did something extra special. Grace sent me THREE thank you notes. I received the stuffed envelop yesterday. Nothing says appreciation for two weeks at camp than the independently and thoughtfully chosen words of a 7 1/2 year old. The actual card.... Der Aunt ...

I want all people - but especially people I love- to be pain-free. The reality is life is not like that. There are ups ...

There is a reason for my drama…maybe even 7
Over the weekend, I conjured up a moment of high drama. It started out as wild speculation. I let my imagination go until it festered into something very real to me. And in my make believe scenario, I became devastated. Luckily, I only reached out to one other person to announce my pretend crisis. And ...

I’m a footless boat… and that’s a good thing
I’m down a personal trainer. No, I haven’t fired him. Or even worse, he hasn’t quit on me. It’s nothing personal to me. It’s his knee. Josh’s meniscus is in such a position that if he walks on it, he could shred it completely. He also has Grade 1 strains on his MCL and LCL. ...

Dance!
I love this statue. I took the picture in Ireland this summer. The joyful stance of the dancers makes me smile. It’s called “The Cashel Dancers.” It was sculpted by Rowan Gillespie and is situated in the parking lot at the Rock of Cashel. This statue symbolism amuses me on a few levels. First, I need to ...
