It’s The Little Things

These are my gardening shoes.

Today they were also my running shoes.

You see,, I don’t run. I mean, it would take the US Marine Corps all coming at me at once to make me even think about jogging. It’s just not my thing.

But today for, goodness knows whatever reason, my mind told me to go for a walk, and then jog, and then run.

And since I had already put these shoes on for yard work, when the forces that be intervened, I knew I had to just go with the flow.

See, if I would have taken the time to change shoes, I would not have gone. I would have walked out of the backyard, through the house, up the stairs, through my bedroom and into the closet, and by that time talked my self out of doing something different.

It’s funny what a pair of ratty old shoes can tell you.

As people, we tend to think that the only way to live is by plan. Maybe if we started to live by the shoes we wear, we’d realize how simple life could be.

I’ll be back soon!

Don’t touch my food

😡 I don’t particularly like people seeing me this way. Especially in PJ’s and sans make-up. But enough is enough! I have my fill...or lack there of! ~ Courtney

Covid-19: A Message From A Front Line Health Care Worker

Hello friends, I hope this message finds you well. Through out the recent weeks, and the onslaught of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have been struggling on what to say. I have been trying to keep a positive outlook, telling myself that we'll be okay. That everything will go back to normal eventually, but as we've seen, so much changes from day to day that it's hard to know what the future holds right now. It's scary. It can be overwhelming. We've never seen anything like this. Some of us are in major hotspots and some, thankfully, are in more sheltered pockets. The reality of the situation is that we are all affected. I am writing this from my home office, a place that I have spent much much more time in recently, especially in the wake of the governor of Colorado, Jared Polis' stay-at-home orders. Being that I am a member of the media, I have been deemed "essential." Like many of us, I have special documentation from Washington, D.C. that

I Slept Funny And Now I'm Dying

Okay, maybe not "dying," but omg. I woke up and realized it hurts to turn my head. TURN MY HEAD. I have such a massive knot in the left side of my neck, it would make a sea captain proud...or at least my old Girl Scout troop leader. And why, you ask? Why am I in such horrendous pain? What is the cause of this completely over-dramatic post? I flipping SLEPT WRONG. Seriously. My neck hurts, because I apparently slept standing on my head while breakdancing. That's the only position I can think of that would make any sense for how I'm feeling right now. I really don't mind aging, I just mind the "my body is falling apart" part of aging. As a kid, I could sleep on just a blanket on a concrete floor with no pillow and wake up the next day feeling AWESOME. Now, I basically need to have a heating pad on top of a Tempurpedic on top of another Tempurpedic on top of a fluffy cloud just to wake up feeling like I may've been human at on
