100 Word Challenge: Interrupted

May 1, 2019 ~ Tara R. ~ 2 Comments

Until I was so rudely interrupted last week, along with my congratulatory accolades to the previous week's submitters, I had intended to report on how my Lenten closet purge went… you know the one, remove one thing each day and donate the pile at the end of 40 days. It was remarkably easy, even though … Continue reading 100 Word Challenge: Interrupted

No matter what kind of day I'm having - sad or blue, lonely or bored, angry or anxious - all that can disperse after some time outside. Walking in the sun, lounging on the beach, or hiking in the woods… it doesn’t take much, just a little sunshine, and I’m good to go. A warm dose … Continue reading A shot of Vitamin D

Making plans

the beach in February
February 8, 2015February 9, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 2 Comments

My Running Buddy and I hit the beach this weekend. Our first trip to the Gulf this year. It was glorious. The sun was shining, and the wind was brisk but not freezing. The beach was virtually empty of distracting tourists (except for the family of penguins who insisted in swimming in the 50F water), … Continue reading Making plans
