We lost a lot of the legacy stories when we lost my mom seven years ago, it was sudden. We had lots of family photos which mom had divided between her & dad’s for their family albums, and each of us kids. I inherited a lot of family heirlooms after she died and mom was the only one who knew which grandmother the depression glass belonged to, or who the bone china tea cup came from… film photos printed & mounted in scrapbooks, negatives safely stored, digital photos in printed books, and digital images backed up.

If you could do one thing without risk of “failing” – your physical health would be vital enough, your body strong enough… Not because I hate my job (because I don’t). I want to be able to travel as often and long as I want. I want to live in a climate conducive to better health and wellness for me.

Every year I try to get myself better organized, better at following through with my plans, better at making things happen. This past year I spent a lot of time and money learning things that I felt were important to help me reach my entrepreneurship goals – Now I really believe that self-employment is never easy, but trying to launch and build a side-gig that will eventually become my main-gig while still employed full-time is really really hard. 2018 has been a year of change – the last big year of change was in 2015.

It’s an experience I have so often that I don’t even pay attention. It just didn’t seem like I had overdone it – which is usually the cause of my increased pain, if it doesn’t come from stress or … the weather Yesterday and the day before were cold and windy. So if we don’t bring something along, we’re picking up food from a local diner. So, I have three main chronic pain triggers to point to.
