While I am pleased with my humble little herb plants, I am grateful that my Mom has a real green thumb and shares the bounty of her vegetable garden. Last weekend she brought me bunches of Swiss chard, which sent me hunting for a simple sauteed Swiss chard recipe. It made a good side dish for dinner, but it was even better when I made sauteed Swiss chard with eggs for breakfast.
If you’re a social media junkie like I am, you probably have heard of FOMO — the fear of missing out that comes from seeing how much fun others are having (or seem to be having) based on the pictures they are sharing on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram.
Although I’ve learned that I am not totally immune to the Facebook comparison trap, I don’t get jealous when I see friends’ vacation pictures or the fantastic dinner or dessert they are enjoying–I enjoy living vicariously once in a while. But, there is one thing I hate to miss out on–sunrises.
At first it was my schedule that had me running at o’dark-thirty in the morning. But now I love starting my run before dawn, and being outside as the sky lightens.
Even a morning that starts out cloudy can put on a pretty show at sunrise.
Now that it is getting lighter earlier,
I have to get up even earlier to catch the sunrise,
but it’s worth it.
I do sleep in every once in a while. Although the view out my bedroom window isn’t too shabby, I usually feel a twinge of disappointment that I’m not outside enjoying the sunrise in all its glory.
Sunrises seem like a silly thing to fear missing, since there’s always going to be another one tomorrow, but I’m still keeping my alarm set for 5:00 am.

If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I have my first business trip of 2015 tomorrow. It should be a good trip since I’m visiting one of my favorite clients and squeezing in a dinner with a friend who happens to live close to them (How close? The closest Starbucks to her house is the closest Starbucks to their office!). Still, I hate having to give up one day of my weekend to business travel.
Today’s Friday Five topic comes at a perfect time for me, since I have just run two of my favorite races, the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run and the GW Parkway Classic.
I’m not superstitious about my race day rituals, but I have a routine that works for me. Continue reading
Today’s Wednesday Word is a challenging one: courage.
The first thing that I think of when I think of “courage” is the Cowardly Lion as played by Bert Lahr in The Wizard of Oz. Continue reading
