The autumnal color has arrived at last. I know it is later than usual because have looked at my pictures from years past and it has definitely been a slower process this year. So I am happy to finally

My husband and I went out on our favorite walk to the marina. It was a lovely evening, with deer munching grass alongside the trail, and the occasional knock knock knock sound of a woodpecker. The trees

Today my husband and I played several rounds of pickleball with friends. I kept my phone in my pocket so I could record my steps. I’m not sure how effective that is, but at least I got enough steps for

A friend and I hit the trails at one of my favorite parks. It was a pleasant September evening. The park has a lovely trail system, with a lot of trees alternating with some nice vista views. I have probably

My husband and I took our favorite walk along a wooded trail to the marina. It was a beautiful, warm, September evening. I always marvel at how long the warm summer days last into September, before rather

I had the most wonderful day yesterday, on a return trip from a weekend at a writing conference. The conference was at resort in the woods about three hours from home so I took my time coming back, stopping

Okay, it has been a very long time since I wrote an Actifit post. I was on a roll for a very long time, but when I broke my foot in October of 2022, that pretty much ended my very long streak. As I explained
