I find that I sleep better when I have a light dinner. It has served me well. I lost 125 pounds 14 years ago and have kept it off. The older I get, the more of a challenge it becomes. I miss going to the gym and it has been more of a challenge to stay in shape, but I love a challenge! So much of it is being mindful of what we eat. I hope you find this article interesting and helpful.

I still love the Keto Diet…and I don’t usually like diets. This article gives some alternative beverage options. I like the Keto shake because I somehow feel like I’m indulging a bit. I drink so much water every day that it’s nice to have options.

One of my favorite songs is “Come Sail Away with Me” by Styx. Part of the lyrics are:
Cause I’ve got to be free
Free to face the life that’s ahead of me
Onboard I’m the captain
So climb aboard
We’ll search for tomorrow
On every shore and I’ll try
Oh Lord I’ll try
To carry on
I have always been drawn to the water. I love to fish, swim, and while I have to be careful on ships and boats due to equilibrium challenges, I love to sail. I find it to be a great way to de-stress and connect with nature. This article talks about more cruising options. I hope you find it interesting and informative. So, climb aboard and set sail for the open sea!

We often hear about “Snail Mail” and associate it with something negative. But I think about how excited I am when I receive a card in my mailbox, not on the computer. I also thought about “At a Snail’s Pace” and found this fellow on my walk today. It reminds me of the conscious effort I make to slow down and enjoy life. As a single mom working multiple jobs for years, I didn’t have that luxury. So what happens when we slow down? Slowing down will make you more aware of your surroundings and really see where you are and what is there. You will be more mindful and experience increasing moments of peace and bliss. You will inspire others and influence your environment with your calmness. You will think more clearly and act accordingly. Blood pressure lowers, your muscles relax, you sleep better, and you breathe more. In the end, you will be even more productive and feel happier. So today, and every day you can, be more like a snail.

Who doesn’t like an upgrade? I am always happy to get something for free! This article gives you ideas on how to get those free perks and great deals. I, for one, can’t wait to get “on the road again”. I call the hotel directly which can sometimes be tricky because when you try to look up the property online, it looks like the area code for that property but you often get routed through a 3rd party site. Even when I have asked them directly if they are the front lobby desk, it isn’t. I was burned when I tried to cancel due to the pandemic and lost about $20.00 on my one-night reservation. Not cool! If I know if it is a Hilton Hotel I want, for example, I call their 800 phone number and make a reservation that way.
I’m a HUGE fan of Skyscanner and use it often. Also, I open an “incognito” page when looking at flights and accommodations because the more often you visit a particular site, they keep track of your computer’s IP address and keep raising the prices. When you are incognito, they can’t do that.

I love this article, especially #7. I would add to the list Senior Citizen perks like AARP and Early Bird Specials, lol! Enjoy!

Today marks the 25th anniversary of one of my favorite movies, Clueless. I was watching some highlights today and they played the scene when Cher’s father tells her date, “I have a 45 and a shovel. If something happens to my daughter, I doubt anyone would miss you.” It reminded me that when my beautiful daughter started to date, I was a single mom and I would either meet her new boyfriends at the door with a bat, golf club or a shovel with a little dirt on the end of it which I would tap on the floor and tell them, “I just buried her last boyfriend in the backyard, come on in.” Their looks were priceless and I seemed to set the mood pretty quickly. Here is a link for you to look at. Enjoy your day and be safe!

I thought this was so profound. It is Oprah’s definition of legacy as told to her by Maya Angelou. I hope we each can be more of ourselves and lift others up along the way.
