The Quote Collection Part Two

I have folders, many folders, filled with quotes I love and wish I'd thought of. Some make me laugh. Others give me courage. And all bring me back to the day I discovered them which is really saying something as I remember nothing most of the time. I read through them...

My Way Is the Highway

My Way Is the Highway

In my continuing effort to clock 10,000 steps in a single day, I’ve decided to increase the distance I walk every morning rather than adding an afternoon stroll through my favorite stores and possibly, (oh, who am I kidding?), definitely, increasing my credit card...

The Other 4,000

The Other 4,000

Are you one of those people who tracks how many steps you take in a day, aiming for 10,000? I am, but I wasn’t always. I read something about it, then discovered the health app on my phone, made the further discovery that it was already tracking my steps (sneaky,...
