Sorry if these posts seem a bit truncated lately–it will probably remain that way for the next week as we go through the final push of loading up for the move… that and my oldest son’s National Championship, which happens … Continue reading
Day 183: Retrace
So here we are at the half-way mark of this 365 day blog. I’ve been in a reflective mood for the past couple of days, thinking about what ground I’ve covered over the past six months, but today I made … Continue reading

Day 118: Push

Day 111: Maintain
Mondays are always a bit tough for me to get through more than just the basics. I have tended to focus on quick fix items for the most part–a bookshelf here or there; maybe some refrigerator magnets tossed away–that sort … Continue reading
