I release this unease. I am so grateful that I know this feeling for what it is, that I don’t have to spend the day ruled by it.
I am grateful for the tools that allow me to transcend feelings and circumstances.
There is one of each, I think, causing my unease. Yes you may laugh. I’m trying ...Read more.

I gotta say how grateful I am for the health with which I am blessed today.
I have problems with my feet but I can walk. And I have tools with which to ease their pain after I walk. My Yamuna foot healers, arnica and rescue remedy. And a lie-down with feet up.
I have a ...Read more.

I am a grateful woman.
I survived my first day behind the wheel in Ireland.
Barely.
I’m grateful for the GPS I sprung for. Even though I am sure I heard her (recorded voice GPS woman) sigh the 15th time I messed up the roundabout and she said Recalculating.
I’m grateful the left side mirror popped back in.
I’m grateful ...Read more.

I am breaking radio silence! No it hasn’t been intentional at all. I’ve been so filled with travel plans that I’ve been in a state of utter preoccupation!
Editing and massaging the checklist…I am going to offer my checklist to all travelers. It’s a gift from a friend (thank you Heidi!) that I’ve now made my ...Read more.

Wow, I’ve been debloggified for over a week! Okay, I’m back.
Travel plans consume my every waking minute. Well, those not occupied with work, AA meetings, the garden, and the series of Rozan mysteries I’ve been reading.

It was such a beautiful weekend!!!
Yesterday, I had set aside the whole entire day for the beach. Was gonna go with Ladybug and family to Half Moon Bay, but decided I didn’t want to do a full day. Instead, I had a lazy Sunday morning, and then went to Lindy in the Park and danced ...Read more.

I am grateful to Thora. I now have the translation I need to make a lovely food allergy card in English and French, with pix, and laminate it. Perfect.
Burning travel question of the day:
I have a car charger for my iPhone. Your basic cigarette lighter plug–type. Will it, oh will it, fit into the cigarette ...Read more.

This year is nearly half over…What? How?
It’s a beautiful sunny morning, and for today I am not obsessed with travel plans. Not much anyway. Found a vendor that makes custom food allergy cards in the languages you need for traveling. Cool! Although I’d rather make my own. Anyone reading this who can translate the following ...Read more.
