EVERYDAY BLOGGER ON EVERYDAY TOPICS

An everyday blogger needs to stay sharp to what’s happening around them. If they don’t pay attention, they won’t be able to write a blog post. I’ve been cooking one up this morning, but I changed my routine. Instead of getting up, making tea, and sitting down to compose, I went to the gym. It […]

A couple in a room ignoring each other, trying to find anything to do besides talk. He reads bad news, she taps a sad note. Looks like a trap to me. But, what’s […]

FADING AWAY? NOT WHEN LOVE IS LOVE

Fading away is a constant marvel with aging baby boomers. We grew up worried about turning into our moms and dads. Now we hope we’re decent enough to resemble our grandparents. Who’da thunk it?

HOLIDAY HEART SYNDROME REVIEW FROM CARDIAC REHAB

Holiday heart syndrome information hits home when you hear about it during a session in cardiac rehab.
