February 19th gotContinue reading “A Week and a Half into My Sabbatical – The Number Say a Lot….”

Day Nine Daily Writing Prompt…

I would say having to do any one thing for an extended period of time. And by extended period, it could be as short as twenty minutes. I have ADD and as such, find my wondering a lot. It’s difficult for me, for example to watch a full-length movie. I’m not very good at houseworkContinue reading “Day Nine Daily Writing Prompt…”

Daily Writing Prompt – Day Eight

This is a really difficult question. A lot of it depends on what type of drink we’re talking about. When it comes to the local coffee shops, my go-to drink is a sugar-free vanilla latte’, breve with whipped cream. This is largely due to the fact that sugar-free vanilla is the only choice of sugar-freeContinue reading “Daily Writing Prompt – Day Eight”

Still Walking the Walk….

On Memorial day of this year, fresh off another year in the classroom, I decided I need to start walking again. My A1C numbers were a bit high and the doctor mentioned that exercise would help. Today I marked an important milestone, with just over 200 miles since I made that decision to start walking.Continue reading “Still Walking the Walk….”

The Path Less-Chosen…

I recently went to a local park along the river that has plenty of walking trails. They are color-coded and not being sure which one would be best, I picked the “red” trail. Somewhere along the way, and no, I’m not color blind, I took a wrong turn and ended up on a totally differentContinue reading “The Path Less-Chosen…”
