Clarification…
I posted on Facebook on Friday the following: I’m hoping that April 1st will be an auspicious day for the start of my new life. Moving forward with some trepidation. So, the deal is – my husband and I are separating, after many years of marriage counseling, trying to arrive at a workable understanding. I’ve…

RIP, Boxer
Dear Boxer, We didn’t have you in our lives long. We found you at the Montgomery County Animal Services & Adoption Center in August, 2014. You were 8 years old – a little older than we had hoped for. There was another dog, Sasha, who was only 4 years old, but there was another family who…

Pretty active day
The past two weeks, I’ve missed my yoga class on Sunday morning. I finally made it back today, and was a little worried that I would be out of it, and unable to achieve what I had been doing three weeks ago in class. But, it turned out to be a wonderful class – I…

Site down, but finally back up
For unclear reasons, my site was down for 8 hours, and just came back up. I was online with tech support, and didn’t get any kind of satisfactory answer on why the site went down. Maybe I’ll have to look for a new host. Anyway, hello World!

Walking to synagogue
This morning, it was just J and me. S and Dad had a double-header baseball game scheduled at 9am. We gave J the choice – go to baseball, or come to shul (synagogue) with Mom. He chose the latter (I don’t flatter myself – he chose that because it gave him an extra 30 minutes…

Good music
I turned on the radio this morning in the middle of the program On Being, and heard Krista Tippett ask her guest (who I soon realized was Yoyo Ma) “So if you could replace the words “classical music” with another phrase, or some other words, what would they be?” Her question immediately brought back to…

Outnumbered
Yesterday, as we began our walk home from Shabbat morning services, my friend, Father Goof, remarked that the adult:kid ratio was way off for my house that afternoon! He was right, but, thankfully, it worked out well. I had 6 boys, aged 7-12, and three dogs (we were keeping our friends’ pair of golden-doodles for…

I love my boots!
Some time back, my blogging inspiration posted a photo of her boots. I can’t link to that blog-post, or the photo, because, for some reason, I’m not able to see her blog. Oh well. But, I have a pair of boots, now, that I love. Here they are: so, why are these my favorite winter…

About that New Good Habit…
Two weeks ago, I hoped that I might regularly bake bread for my family. Well, the following Sunday turned out to be a very long and exhausting day, and I didn’t get around to baking bread. But this past Sunday, I managed to do it, and the result looked like this: My first batch, I…

Handstand – Yes!
I mentioned getting back into regularly attending yoga classes again, beginning last fall. I’m now in the middle of my second consecutive session of classes, and had moved myself up to the Level II, due more to convenience of the timing of the class than my ability. And, this class has been a stretch (pun…
