PT (or physical activity to cure your ills)
Excitement in anticipation of a much heralded physical intervention to ameliorate the ravages of neck, foot, and shoulder surgery almost tingled when I rung up the Center. This was going to be easy, being altogether quite fit but needing a tune up. Miss Peppy answered and reviewed the need for a personal visit for an evaluation…
Seasonal Transitions
Slowly, excruciatingly, the sun creeps along the skyline ever southernly, sneaking to the winter solstice, smiling with anticipation of a long winter’s nap. Complicating the sunset view, forcing a rise from my customary seat, I crane like one of the few remaining great egrets, to remain settled in my living room comfy chair yet appreciate…
Who Am I?
Commenting on the current hearings in Congress is too political and too painful. But, the bigger question of who I am really is, of course, a long time philosophical epistemology beyond me and the moment.

Infect our Climate
via Daily Prompt: Infect Climate develops over long periods of time and is impacted by patterns of variation in both measurable elements and theoretical concepts. The application of the term climate to the emotional aspects of a country is less documented historically but has emerged as a factor in personal well-being and national identity. The…
Thin and Slim
via Daily Prompt: Thin Life is full of choices but disguised as societal impressions or norms open to discussion. Should women be “thin” or “slim?” Do I read a slim volume of poetry or a novel of great import? My options are slim or none. His lies were thinly disguised. Those pants would be better…
Pace
via Daily Prompt: Rapid As I rise each day I drag myself from sleep reaching for the newness of the day and my “to be done” list, referred to years ago as my “to do” list which was entirely aspirational as I worked usually ten hours a day, had three children, and took care of…
