Alzheimer’s Disease: The Year After
I am, generally speaking, an incredibly optimistic person. I can find the good in pretty much anything that comes my way. Everything, everyone and every experience has some beauty, some “magic” that ultimately has some divine plan, or at least I like to think so. Another jam packed holiday season is upon us. It is…

Why I Am Running Indoors (For Now)…
The treadmill has been purchased and set up. My husband and I chose a model that folds up in order to hide it away. It now resides in the closet in my children’s playroom with a bungee cord for reinforcement (because I am paranoid that way). Why start on a treadmill when the outdoors are…
