Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
My history with “New Year’s Resolutions” is spotty, at best. I know I’m not alone in that. Libraries could be filled with stories of resolutions made that fade away, or worse, crash in tears and ruin. Three years ago, I made a list of resolutions. It was an awesome challenge, eight or nine objectives for... Continue Reading →
Writers spend a lot of time talking about books and the process of writing. It's what I've done here most of the time as well. But I've come to the realization that there is another aspect of being a good writer that tends to be given short shrift. Caring for ourselves beyond our writing. Let... Continue Reading →
Twice a year it happens. I trot myself into my PCP (Primary Care Physician) for a checkup. One is just a Diabetes Check, and the other is the annual physical. Much to the confusion of the professionals in the office I tend to refer to them both as "physicals". The early year one is usually... Continue Reading →

I am making some changes. Again. At the end of last year, things did not go the way I had hoped or planned. Having been working on my health and diet for several years, that didn't really surprise me. There are just more balls in the air at the moment. For the folks who have... Continue Reading →
This past year did not proceed as I anticipated. Or hoped. Or wanted. It did its own thing. As with any year, I had little choice but to go with what's given me. Last year at this time I set out my objectives for the New Year: No resolutions this year, just simple definable goals.... Continue Reading →
Been gone for awhile. Nothing bad has happened but a lot has happened. It just seemed like a good time to sit back and think about what's going on and where this blog fits. So here's where I found myself when all was said and done. I still have hopes for this blog that I... Continue Reading →
When I pulled the last post I noticed that last week's weight was wrong. And the goal to lose weight was wrong as well. Not sure how that happened. The correct weights are listed below. I was a little surprised by that newest number. My exercise has been a fraction below the recent norms. Meanwhile,... Continue Reading →
A tough month for bicycling. On the positive side, I conquered the Cap2Cap trail for the first time. That is a 52 mile paved path that runs from between the historic first capital of Virginia, Jamestown, and the current one, Richmond. My first attempt was cut short when I did not balance my blood glucose... Continue Reading →
