What you’ve got!
What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
Whatever it is that I have, it’s having it all.
There is a lot to be said for being content.
What you see is…

For an opinionated woman such as I, blogging is an excellent outlet. This is one of many fori that I use to bloviate. Enjoy! Comment on my commentary.
Those we miss
Who would you like to talk to soon?
There’s a goodly number of people with whom I have lost touch. I miss them. It would be great getting a moment to talk.
A memento
What personal belongings do you hold most dear?
This horse rocked every race! His presence on our window sill is a sweet reminder of one of the great times we shared.
My husband bought him as a souvenir for me of a wonderful weekend.
Neither of us had been to Saratoga before. It was a standout trip!
Hot or Not
How do you feel about cold weather?
This is a fine time to ask!
We’re approaching the warm and the waves of hot weather they bring.
I hear it’s going to be a very hard summer.
The Human Story
It used to be a much simpler human history in my school days. Now, they tell me that evolution wasn’t as linear as we were taught.
Humans and Neanderthals and other hominids all roamed the earth at the same time.
Our earliest direct relatives emerged from Africa some 50 thousand years ago.
Others of the 15 to 20 types of early humans continued to co-exist with them.
So I am thinking, it’s kind of akin to cats. Look at how diverse they are. Look at how many different species live in jungles and mountains and homes across the world.
Random
My phone seems to have a tendency toward independence.
I inquired something of a friend, and then it added 3am on its own. I sent a completely inappropriate Cool. 😎 One friend got a message that was totally gibberish.
So when the device got it into its head to make a panorama shot, I happily went along for the ride.
Juggling acts
How do you balance work and home life?
Since I never had children at home and married late in life, the balancing act was never a big concern.
Single people can work longer hours with no effect on their home life.
That’s the theory.
When you do not have family or a partner at home, you feel carefree. The truth may just be a little different from the perception.
It’s a documented fact [and we women love to cite it] that married men live longer. There could be undocumented evidence that marriage benefits women as well.
In part, we could say it’s because men are cared for; that’s just one side of the picture. They also have to care for their family or partner.
If being unattached means you are carefree, it can also mean you are free to be careless.
Married people, both men and women, have cares. They need to be careful in the best possible way.
Being without a care in the world is overrated. Caring with the worries it brings is a better place for all of us.
There may be more to balance between our homes and our offices, but we are fortunate to have all those balls in the air.
Fruit in season

I reason that fruit when
