WHEN A BASEBALL or softball game is over, there are winners and there are players who can’t win for losing.
There’s another person, though, who’s quite familiar with the can’t-win-for-losing feeling.

When the leaves turn
THE SEASONS CHANGE.
The page turns.
The calendar flips.
When something ends, something else often begins.

FOR SOME REASON, my eyes opened at 3:30 this morning.
I couldn’t go back to sleep so I decided to look at Instagram.
(more…)A basket of lemons
MY NEW GOAL for this month is to save money, which, as it turns out, will help me get closer to one of my older goals.
I have put about three nanoseconds of thought into this, and still come up with a non-financial way I’ll benefit from a month to save.
I think I might be a little more trim and healthy if I save for a month.
If I make a conscious effort to save money, I won’t be as tempted to stray from my diet.
I shouldn’t say diet if I want it to stick.
I guess it’s a lifestyle change.
Despite the fact I know how important it is for me to stay within a certain range so I can move easier, the struggle with weight has been part of my life for a while.
I guess the urge to save has also been a part of my life for years.
Since 1998, when I started a savings account, I’ve been a pretty good saver.
I think it’s important, because I never know when life will hand me a basket of lemons.
However, as I’ve mentioned before, I’ve also been an impulse buyer on occasion.
Sometimes, I am a little less wise with money than I should be when the impulse to purchase hits.
It’s hit a lot this year, though not all on impulse, and it’s time to save again.
There are still goals I haven’t met, goals I’ll move closer to with a month to save.
Aside from those, it’s always good to be able to make lemonade when life hands out lemons.
A quick July review
A thank-you note
TODAY’S END MARKS the close of another month in a year which seems glacial at times, but also rapid because we’re more than halfway through it.
I want to take a few minutes to say thank you to each of you who return to read this blog.

I THOUGHT ABOUT a book review for today’s post, but I fell so short of my reading resolution the details of the last book I read are fuzzy.
I did binge several podcasts, and one has stayed with me so here’s a podcast review.

MAYBE MY MIND dreamed this up, but I think I once read a story about a time a wave might have been the difference between life and death.
