Sunshine!!
Thursday, November 22, 2018 22 comments What a difference it makes, no matter HOW cold (it's -16C right now) , to have bright sunshine and blue skies! My drive to work yesterday was "white knuckle" through white-out conditions with blowing snow and pretty much no visibility: an... Read more
Happy Thanksgiving to All American Sparkies!!
Wednesday, November 21, 2018 23 comments Thanksgiving is a really big event in the USA (or at least, I experienced it that way some years ago in Austin, Texas). And we Canadians have celebrated last month, in October -- while the harvest was in full swing and the leaves still br... Read more
Commuting and Weight
Tuesday, November 20, 2018 22 comments For many years I lived in the city and commuted (driving) to a job outside the city. And for many MORE years I lived outside the city and commuted (by bus) into the city when I returned to school. When I was commuting, I put on weight... Read more

Sheepish
Sunday, November 18, 2018 30 comments Sheepskin slippers? I'm wearing them right now. Yes, they are expensive -- but the ones I received last Christmas replaced a pair at least 8 years old . . . and they are so warm. Necessary in our 1889 house which can be chilly. I also bought ... Read more
Comforting Routine
Saturday, November 17, 2018 31 comments Yes, it's fun to do special stuff. I do look forward to holidays, to meeting up with friends, to kids coming home . . . of course I do. Sometimes it's even fun to buy special stuff. For example, I've been debating whether I will buy a new pa... Read more
You Want It Darker
Wednesday, November 14, 2018 30 comments I've been listening to this wonderful "last album" song by Leonard Cohen, as we move towards the "darkest evening of the year". You want it darker? Well, maybe not so much what I want as what IS. Especially in November. And there... Read more
Dark dark dark . . .
Tuesday, November 13, 2018 29 comments Just before 8 am and it's still dark here -- with snow expected. So: I've turned on my "daylight" over my computer . . . for a few minutes of "sunshine". Planning to get out for a recess walk to experience whatever natural light is ... Read more

A bit of a tradition for me . . . white carnations with white pine branches and the white roofs outside the window in honour of the first snow whi... Read more
Lying Low!
Saturday, November 10, 2018 24 comments Yes yes yes: yesterday went OK (as well as could be expected) and now I'm taking it easy easy easy. Laundering the clothes I was wearing last Saturday at the vet made me cry. But: no regrets at all. It was the right thing to do. ... Read more
Snow Today
Friday, November 09, 2018 25 comments It's going to be one of those soft grey days just above freezing with snow drifting down. I've got a rather stressful thingy to do today -- out of office, lunch maybe at my golf club (which will be close by) and I know that I can get a hea... Read more
Keeping On Keeping On
Thursday, November 08, 2018 24 comments Really that's the essence of maintenance, isn't it? We keep on keeping on: no matter what. We keep on keeping on eating healthily. We keep on keeping on exercising. And we keep on keeping on managing our emotions and our 60... Read more
Stretching
Tuesday, November 06, 2018 30 comments Why why why do I need to learn over and over again what a treat stretching is for my body? It makes me feel physically good all day. It helps me stand taller and straighter and improves my flexibility and my balance. I walk mor...
