Spring 2026

Slept late. I was wiped out by my grandson’s birthday celebration. Although it was just a family get together, I find every social interaction makes me quite tired. To prove it, I found I left my keys in the front door. Glad no one was looking. After my morning shake and exercises, took my blood…

Forgot to set my alarm. Lucky I woke up at 6:30 with an hour before my Pittsburgh meditation group. I love my sangha. I always get a new perspective on something. After that I went to the gym and did recumbent bike and all my machines. When I returned I rested and went through my…

I had a dream. My husband (now deceased) and I were climbing uphill over boulders. He reached the top first. When I was close he stretched out his strong arm and pulled me up. Why was this significant? Every other dream is filled with struggling and problem solving that never ends. I had been putting…

Slept well.but only 7 hours(?). I streamed 2 churches — Delaware and Pittsburgh/Denver. Pittsburgh was not coming on (?). Happens sometimes. Denver was members talking about Earth Day and global warming — interesting. After that I did Essentric exercises, blogged, had lunch and a lay-down. Then I read my latest large print book, ‘Land’; fascinating…

Slept well. My alarm went off at 6:30 AM because of mediation with my Pittsburgh group. Unusual, but I disagreed with the reading. Others pointed out what they liked about it; nice to hear their perspectives. After that I did Essentric exercises, blogged, had lunch and a lay-down. At 4:30 my daughter-in-law picked me up…

Slept well. After my AM shake and exercises, walked to the Rec Center. On the way, I saw a neighbor (71) I was getting to know, with her dog. I learned she did hospice care for 25 years and had a back operation which was supposed to keep her from falling. It didn’t. If she…

Slept well. After my usual shake and exercises, I received a call from the maintenance man about my refrigerator. The part would arrive tomorrow and it would take four screws to install. Sounds great! Hope it happens. Then I cleared my countertops in preparation for my cleaning people later. They are coming during my lunch…

Lost some sleep. Read my book ‘LAND’ about how Stalin in Russia brutally seized lands from the peasants in Ukraine in the 40’s, starving one million people to death, in order to grow food his way for the Industrial Revolution. Disturbing details. Sunday. My son and daughter-in-law picked me up for service at the Unitarian…

Slept well. Feeling uneasy because of the 6 “ snowfall. I did my usual AM activities and resolved to stay in the house for the day. I washed my ears, ordered slacks from Amazon, blogged and did Essentric exercises. After lunch and lay-down, I heard from a former co-worker in Pittsburgh. She likes to discuss…
