One Bird at a Time


This is to remind me of "Bird by Bird" - by one of my favorite authors, Anne Lamott - a wonderful guide on writing and life. If only I could learn to follow it....

Now officially on my ___(fill in # here!)... try at Spark People. I know that SparkPeople WORKS - but it cannot if I don't. Hoping I realize that simply saying "restart" repeatedly never gets you to your goal.

Can we say "Extreme Makeover - Life Edition!"

    Thank you for your comment on my blog today. Well, an old blog, but you know what I mean.

    It's so important to teach multi-culturalism to kids, isn't it? Only way to prevent a repeat of what has been going on in this country this week. Just horrendous. And even though the order separating children from families has been rescinded, does this mean the kids who were separated will now come back and join their parents? Are we sure this is happening???

    Hi, welcome to my blog! Just wanted to give you the links to our other travel blogs - we were in Costa Rica again in 2011 - http://phebeandrichardcostarica2011.blogsp
    ot.com - and then I retired in 2012 and DH and I started travelling full time. So we have a travel blog for that as well: http://rollingluggagers.blogspot.com.

    Let me know if you have questions, or want to know more about how we came to this way of life. We're loving it!

    My mom's surgery was a complete success. The biopsy of the tissue revealed it was correctly diagnosed as stage 1. It had not spread to her lymph nodes, there is no sign of cancer on her brain or any other scan, and so chemo is not indicated. She was home less than a week post-surgery and off pain meds other than Tylenol.

    Thank you thank you thank you for all your support and information. emoticon
