It’s a few minutes to midnight on December 31, and I’m not sad to say farewell to 2024. While 2025 may not be promising on a political leadership level, I do hope for peace, joy, love, and laughter. Some financial security wouldn’t go amiss, either!

I’m working to strengthen my practice of gratitude, partly as an antidote to ever-present anxiety. I keep a list of good things that happen. This weekend, it was 73 and sunny in San Diego, and I got take some lovely walks. #goodthings

Here is our festive tree. My husband thinks we have too many ornaments. I say we have barely enough, and we should get more. Whose side are you on?

What if, instead of #skeets, we called them skytes (rhymes with kites)? That way, it’s got the word sky in there. And I think it sounds nicer.

What do you think, #contentdesigners and #brand experts? Who’s with me?

With my 10-year-old nephew at his first Warriors game. It’s his BIG birthday present. Steph is out with an injury, but we’re still having a good time!

A vase full of gorgeous peonies (from #TraderJoes) is making me smile today.

Preface: I have never been a jogger. My exercise is mostly brisk walking, strength training, and a smattering of yoga and Pilates.

And yet. Over the past few weeks, I’ve felt compelled to go faster on my walks. Today, I mixed in many jogging intervals and got my average pace down to 13’40 per mile!

Rocking some rainbow #Confab socks today, just because.

Not shocking at all…

What’s wrong with this message? Well, it’s in a vending machine at an airport. Unless my travel plans go very wrong, I won’t be around to try again tomorrow. Context matters!

Beautiful day for tide pools! Getting out in nature always helps when I’m feeling crabby.

Oh, hi! I’m new here and was never particularly active on that bird network. Recent life events have me seeking a new community. And yes, I was Alexa before the Amazon version. I’m better informed and more fun, too!
