  • Delights Day 13: Birthday Eve.

    I spent my birthday eve with this amazing human- the woman who was kind enough to bring me into this world, my Mama. Driving home this evening, I turned to my husband, “I’m a pretty lucky person,” I said. And I don’t say that to be flippant, or trite, I know darn well how lucky…

  • Delights Day 11- Move It

    I have a fickle relationship with exercise. I say that knowing I have a super-tolerant body. It’s not a bikini body by any means but I know my quads are strong. I trust that my heart will pound in protest but still get me up Vail pass. My knees? Well, they were good while they…

  • Delights Day 10- Tuesday with a Horse

    This evening was my first session as a horse leader at the Colorado Therapeutic Riding Center. I keep meaning to post of photo with my horsey friends but every time I show up at the Center, my head and hands are busy and the phone stays in my pocket- which might be another delight. I’ve…

    A dear friend had major surgery last week. A holy-crap what did they do to your foot type of surgery A let’s stick a screw up your foot type of surgery. None of this is delightful. But this evening it was quite delightful to drop off a meal and sit with a friend who never…

  • Delights Day 8- Nieces

    Our Nieces came over last night. We didn’t do anything spectacular. We ordered sushi, drank tea and watched Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (another delight). They decided to spend the night. I rustled up some pj bottoms, toothbrushes. And even though they are now adults, Hubs always does one last check in. The nieces are in their…

  • Settle- Delights day 7

    Settle. I have never liked this word. As a really ‘busy’ young child, I was often told to ‘settle down’. It usually meant I was in trouble and I had to sit. Or be quiet. Or both. As a young women, people who married less than optimal Loves were told they were ‘settling’….. I always…

  • Delight Day 6: Slippers and a Tree

My tootsies with the shadow of our Christmas tree, still standing on January 6th, is Day 6 delight. May we all have warm appendages…..and arch support.

    Today was a non-descript day but you know what was fun? Determining what would be my main cause of delight…… Was it my new slippers? Was it the joy in delivering meals to friends? Was it listening to Eddie Vedder? There was no winner. Only thinking through the day what elicits delights.
