About Me

I am a classic Capricorn, living my life in reverse. Most if not all of my struggles occurred in the first half of my life and now I enjoy a contentment that comes with having no regrets and many blessings as I focus my life in the NOW moment. That doesn't mean there aren't challenges; it just means I think of them differently. I am still a "few" years from retiring, and love my job. I was persuaded to go to college when I was 47 and had the time of my life. I also learned a great deal about myself in that time, and came away with a deep-rooted sense of pride and confidence that only reinforced my enthusiasm and sense of humor

Interests:
Behind all my interests is a curiosity in human behavior. I enjoy event volunteering, going to the movies and later dissecting them in conversation, creative writing, reading almost anything, listening to live music, and long horseback rides with friends. Actually, anything with friends is enjoyable....as is an intimate gathering of two

     It's become my habit to do my walking on the treadmill inside the gym.  Everyday at lunchtime I'd leave my office and drive up the hill to walk for 30 minutes on the treadmill while gazing out the window at Monterey Bay in the distance.  Then one day it hit me - what am I doing in here when there is all that out there? 

     So the next day, I grabbed my hat from my truck and took off walking...............in the neighborhood that surrounds the school district where I work.  You would have thought I was a damn tourist.  But I couldn't help myself.  I don't think there are two houses or two gardens alike anywhere in Pacific Grove.  And in the middle of the day most people weren't home so I could stop and admire the houses and the flowers without feeling like an intruder. 

     Did I mention the fragrance? Sweet ocean breeze, new cut lawns, a wiff of a distant flower. There was none of this in the gym.

Okay so may I didn't walk as far as I normally do in the gym on the treadmill, but I will tell you this.  When I returned my office, I felt refreshed and reinvigorated.  That never happens at the gym.
