Do you feel very uncoordinated? If you’re in fitness class and feel that you never seem to get the steps right, no matter what you do, just relax. These steps don’t come naturally to most people. Many exercisers have difficulty following unfamilair moves at first. Don’t feel discouraged! Remember that most everyone who begins a new program will feel clumsy and confused! Stick with the foot movements first. Once you’ve mastered them, then add your arms. By focusing on one thing at at a time, you’ll feel more in control. Go easy on yourself and d...

Well it is a quiet and peaceful morning here in our little valley. It is a little too cool to sit on the porch swing this morning. Even though it was cool the cats were up early for their breakfast, but now they have went back to their beds.

About 3 AM I heard a noise on the front porch and I got up to see what it was, and there was two small raccoons playing on the porch. The cats were out of their beds and wide awake, sitting there watching...

My brother and I just experienced what I believe was our longest one-on-one, face-to-face chat ever. (Yes, even longer than the long-ago heart-to-heart conversation highlighted by “Throw another dart at me…and another…nyah nyah, missed me...”) We had our differences growing up (maybe I shouldn’t have been so dismissive of his taste in music and TV shows, and maybe I was overly sensitive when he named a cow after my first girlfriend); but it was comforting to be able to talk in a civil manner ab...
