Energy Exercise Hiatus
And a lesson: Planted seeds - given sun and water - want to sprout and grow. Intentions or not! And they'll do just that - in their own time.
Somewhat under the weather
"Under the weather" allows time for me to post a photographic journey through my last month
Barnard Street squares & a bit more
Savannah is a city best experienced on foot. Here are some photos from the last day of my last Savannah trip. I took an afternoon walk down Barnard Street - from Gaston Street to City Market - and took photos of each square. Plus a few other photos, too.
An afternoon walk around Forsyth Park
I started an early November walk by going to the fountain. Then over to Drayton Street and down to the old Telfair Hospital. Back along Whitaker Street where the sun came out. Every time I take a walk in Savannah, I see something new. Usually something beautiful.
Post-Shift: Pondering and Processing, a Trip “Back Home”
There has been so much texture in my life of late. After my silent retreat, I was home a few days before driving to Savannah to join my sister there.

The 18 Month Mark: Part 3
I'm sharing a short post (more later when I'm not exhausted) and will cut to the chase here. . . . with the good news that the MRI today showed NO problems! What looked like cysts were indeed cysts. So I'm cancer-free at the 18 (plus almost two weeks) mark. None of us is assured … Continue reading The 18 Month Mark: Part 3
A Short Walk in Savannah
Although I'm back home and not in Savannah now, I thought I'd share some of the photos I took on a short walk one late afternoon last week. I was tired and didn't have the energy to go very far (yes, I'll be glad when my stamina returns). But in the Savannah Historic District, you … Continue reading A Short Walk in Savannah
