New Year… Time to hit the Gym

My first foray into a weight room was with my first boyfriend. Our first date was in grade six. Well, I was in grade six. He was in grade five. Fast forward a few years. I think it was grade nine that our school put in a small weight room. My boyfriend (yep, same guy) … Continue reading New Year… Time to hit the Gym →

Love My Morning Paper…

Years ago, my husband used to get up on the weekend and walk three blocks to buy his morning paper. Often my daughter would go with him. My neighbour still comments that she would see him leave the house and think to herself "There goes Rene'. Getting the paper." He read the Calgary Sun every … Continue reading Love My Morning Paper… →

Do It for Love… Not Likes

Once a month I get a reminder email from my girlfriend Maureen. It's time for soup. Maureen and Rhonda are my two closest friends. We are all so different. We have known each other since grade five when I moved to town, but we have been in and out of each other's lives for fifty … Continue reading Do It for Love… Not Likes →

Why Y’all Gotta Be So Anxious?

My son came to town last week for a visit. He had the start of a rash and so like a good Mom I headed to my local Organic market. They also sell lots of homeopathic and Chinese medicine type ingredients. I was going to mix up a salve to put on the rash as … Continue reading Why Y’all Gotta Be So Anxious? →

Playing the Long Game

After my husband died, I spent three months in my basement crying and eating potatoe chips. Twenty-six pounds later I realized I was killing myself with grief and junk food. I spent some time then throwing myself into projects to distract my brain. Busy and exhausted leaves little time for tears. But I did ignore … Continue reading Playing the Long Game →

I Think I Might Be ADHD… No Shit!

This was the brief conversation I had one morning with my husband. Short sweet and to the point which is what happens after many years spent with another human being. We were in the living room and I was reading an article in the Readers Digest about ADHD. With each paragraph I was more and … Continue reading I Think I Might Be ADHD… No Shit! →

Milestones

It has been a beautiful fall but this morning I woke up to swirling snow and a weather advisory warning. As I sit in my chair by the bay window, with the fireplace on and a mug of steaming coffee, I put down my book and decide to write about something that has been on … Continue reading Milestones →

What is in a pronoun?

I follow a young person on instagram who identifies as non-binary. Young is a relative term as this person is around fourty but that was some time ago for me. So.... young. Anyways, this individual has chosen to be referred to as they or them. Not he/she or him/her. I must admit when I first … Continue reading What is in a pronoun? →

Mourning the Past

I see a lot of posts on Instagram telling people to enjoy their kids as it is all over too soon. That is true. When you are in the middle of the chaos and mess it is hard to catch your breath and find time to relax. The posts are very similar as they try … Continue reading Mourning the Past →

Whatever Happened to Getting Along?

I finally got myself an Instagram account and I just love some of the posts. I follow gardeners, recipe type stuff and of course my daughter. I love that I can just click a button that say's "what is this crap?" and I stop seeing it. I am paraphrasing. I don't personally post anything because … Continue reading Whatever Happened to Getting Along? →
