Oh yes – this will be a happy new year. Last year I was at the end of my rope (and my money) with being unemployed and I was a nervous wreck. Now I’m an over worked nervous wreck with a paycheck. Last year I was desperately lonely and longing for a ‘someone’ in my [...]

And what happened to November?  Whoosh!  gone.  I did “run” that marathon and got my worst time ever.  Then I ran a 1/2 a week later and did okay for this year.   “For this year” is a key phrase because this was my year to kind of walk it in and just not care [...]
