Photo Blogging Challenge (April 2024): Point of View
Point of view can be looked at a bunch of different ways.
I had several ideas in what I wanted to do this month. From getting low to the ground, to different looks like that. But I decided to kind of put it into a Harper perspective.
Shocker, I know.
So what I tried to do was bring you into Harper’s world. Sure, it might not be a traditional point of view, but when I took some photos, I tried…

Photo Blogging Challenge (March 2023): Eleven
OK, folks. April Fools!
So here we are. April 1 came and went, but hey — it’s almost normal anymore! One of these days, I’ll get it right again! I promise.
This month though.
You would think after doing this challenge for so many years that I would be ready for the March theme. Add one number and here we are.
But ELEVEN? What the ever living hell?
Honestly, this may have been the hardest…

Photo Blogging Challenge (February 2023): Exploration
Shall we explore?
I’m going to be honest — exploring is much more fun with Harper.
And you guessed it — she’s the star of this post!
I’m interested to see how everybody sees exploring. For me, a lot of it is through geocaching. It’s taken me so many places I likely never would have seen or been without this great game.
But through the eyes of a dog makes it so much better.
Exploring now is…

Living with Diabetes: February 2024 check in
I haven’t written one of these posts in a while. Probably because I honestly haven’t done too well with things. My numbers are way higher than they should be and I’m doing, well, pretty shitty in holding myself accountable.
But I have to look at the overall picture. Sometimes that can be really hard to do.
For those of you who have followed my blog, you’ve probably seen these posts before.…

Photo Blogging Challenge (January 2023): The Best
Is it just me, or does it seem like each year when the calendar flips … the first month flies by and we are like hey-o… what the hell? We’re already one month down in the new year?
I’m not alone in this? Good.
Alas, there’s not much we can do about it, outside of just going with the flow. January has been quite the month on my end. After a pretty easy winter through the first part, we got a…

20 Days of Chill 2024: I throw my hands up in the air sometimes … (Day 20)
Do you all remember that song that had these lyrics? It’s in the song “Dynamite” by Taio Cruz.
Sometimes, though, I really do just throw my hands up in the air!
When I first came up with these topics for this year’s 20 Days of Chill, I honestl;y had no idea what I wanted to do for it. Alas, I can’t say I threw my hands up in the air, but I think it’s fitting to end the 20 Days of Chill with…

20 Days of Chill 2024: Bark, baby, bark (Day 19)
If you follow the blog at all, you knew there would have to be a dog-specific theme during this challenge.
I honestly can’t remember my thought process with this as a theme though!
Alas, the theme is bark or dog or something along those lines. I have to say this when it comes to barking: I got pretty lucky with Harper. She’s really not much of a barker.
She does it a bit if her friends are…

20 Days of Chill 2024: What is your personality?(Day 18)
Tests that are supposed to tell you about who you are have always intrigued me. That includes personality tests, or IQ tests, or just basic ones.
I’m always curious how they work and how they would do for an individual. It’s very rare I take one as they usually want money at the end. But, for the sake of this challenge, this theme, and this post, I decided it was time.
Let’s turn to…

20 Days of Chill 2024: If you build it ... (Day 17)
You know the old saying, right? Straight out of Field of Dreams.
If you build it he will come.
Well, not always.
I was torn on where to go with this one. Originally, my plan had been to look at my blog and its growth or lack thereof over the years. Ya know, some numbers, analytics, things like that.
But hell – even with a much smaller audience than I have had over the years, talk about…

20 Days of Chill 2024: Emoji (Day 16)
What’s your emoji?
What’s an emoji for?
Oh that crazy world of faces and different objects in a text message. I had plans for this post, and I hope I can pull it off OK. I couldn’t do it how I had originally planned as there were no guarantees when it came to people being able to see it.
So, I had to do it a little differently. Here’s hoping my little emoji “story” comes out OK for you to…

20 Days of Chill 2024: Finding peace (Day 15)
Let’s be honest with one another here. Finding peace isn’t always easy.
Life is tough for most people. While I am sure we all have our ups and downs, some people will have more on the high side, and some will have more on the down side. It’s just the way life goes, I guess.
Our local daily dishrag…errr… newspaper … recently ran some story from the AP saying how most people think money can buy…

20 Days of Chill 2024: Sometimes I wonder ... (Day 14)
I don’t often look back at life and wonder what would have been if … but there are times.
The reality is, I turned 50 this past September. I *try* and not have many regrets in life. Honestly, having regrets is somewhat counter productive, anyway. If you try and go through these things too much, it just occupies your mind to a place where you can’t go back to anyway.
This isn’t Back to the…

20 Days of Chill 2024: Where will you roam? (Day 13)
Roaming.
It’s funny, I think. I feel, as people, we tend to go through phases of life. Some people do it differently than others and the phases can kind of overlap, or some are longer for others etc.
But, for the most part, I feel many of us have gone through a travel phase in life – or want to. You want to see the world! I look back in life and there are things I look at now that I would…

20 Days of Chill 2024: Maybe (Day 12)
Just maybe I originally had ideas for this theme.
Maybe I forgot all about what they were.
It’s possible, ya know.
Maybe, too, I am a fan of musicals. More in the old-school sense. I haven’t, honestly, seen a lot of the newer ones. So I am more into traditional ones. They withstand the test of time.
So maybe there’s a song I think about whenever I hear “maybe.”
Maybe it’s one of my…

20 Days of Chill 2024: At least I have my ... (Day 11)
I am not sure what to fill in on this one, to be honest.
Usually people would say their health. And while I won’t say my health is in full decline and awful, it’s not like I am the beacon of amazing health.
There’s a lot that could be said with the start of this statement, but I feel like I can pick apart each one. As one ages, often times there’s fewer friends, family and the such. I’m no…

20 Days of Chill 2024: Let’s all go to the movies …(Day 10)
.. And have ourselves a snack.
I’m going to guess I haven’t been to the movies since 2015. I remember going to see Creed in the theaters. At least I am pretty sure I did. If not, it may have been Rocky Balboa, so then you are talking 2006.
But I am pretty sure it was Creed.
That changed Christmas Eve when two of us went to watch The Iron Claw. This is one I knew I wanted to see, so when I…

20 Days of Chill 2024: I don’t want to adult today (Day 9)
This has been a mantra of mine recently, it seems.
I mean, truthfully, don’t we all think this at some point or another? Do you really want to be an adult?
Can’t I just stay home and hang out with Harper? I think she’d enjoy that.
Remember when you were a kid?
“God! I can’t wait to grow up.”
If there was time travel, I’d go back and slap myself right in the face. Reality is, though, you…
