The work side of my brain kicked in, took over, and we worked like a mule. It was exciting. So why do I drag my feet back in after a holiday? It’s comfortable to be firing on all cylinders. Perhaps that is why I find it so hard to relax. I am in a discovery stage in my life. Old age... wishing for younger days.

I have two sides of my brain, creative and work. After four days off, much of it spent thinking about not wanting to come back to work and the rest trying to relax and enjoy the moment. And now I am back here at my desk and the work side is taking over. Directed. On task. Focused. </p><p>The new year is ringing in with a new eating plan and old age. I’m 60. Recovering from a back injury and lamenting the fact I am no longer 20 or even 40. I see an old fat woman in the mirror. I try to tell myself there is more than meets the eye. 2021 will be my eye opening year. Be well. Stay safe. </p>Patty Heberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09546221946096203283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17756908.post-83415845062274966062018-10-09T05:31:00.000-05:002018-10-09T05:32:05.028-05:00Darkness isn’t the end<div dir="ltr">Every year I go through this same realization that life continues after the sun sets.

But we get glimpses. Like this one...</div><div><br></div><div>After a town history lecture an acquaintance and past sponsor to my Pan Mass Challenge efforts came up to me to chat. We talked about the event, teaching, work, the church, the girls and finally she mentioned the PMC. She asked to whom should the check be made out. I said the PMC. And thank you. </div><div><br></div><div>For a while now I was thinking this is my last ride. It's a lot of work to train and to raise the funds. I'm done. But then this happened yesterday. </div><div><br></div><div>A bit of backstory: After the last two rides I place my ride pin on her husband's grave. My post PMC ride takes me through the cemetery where I stop and pay my respects and leave my pin. </div><div><br></div><div>Yesterday when we were chatting my friend mentioned that she took last year's pin "in" before the snow and she is waiting for this year's pin. Truly I can't disappoint her. <br><br><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir2knQOTN7lixYa6vF4nOSkyA5oGUl8HQhmBd5BE4D3DURUJWzp1CfDACXqIoJ9_qxGdvpVAgoIeLBiXkLXpipuy_RRP9nt0sYw2S4_ykp6NilGAL_ktXxm8JjT82VhNYjfkwlfw/s1600/IMG_2954-790164.PNG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir2knQOTN7lixYa6vF4nOSkyA5oGUl8HQhmBd5BE4D3DURUJWzp1CfDACXqIoJ9_qxGdvpVAgoIeLBiXkLXpipuy_RRP9nt0sYw2S4_ykp6NilGAL_ktXxm8JjT82VhNYjfkwlfw/s320/IMG_2954-790164.PNG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6537451719470913410" /></a></div><br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature">Help me wipe out cancer. <a href="http://profile.pmc.org/PH0134">http://profile.pmc.org/PH0134</a><br><div>Thank you,</div><div>Patty</div></div>Patty Heberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09546221946096203283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17756908.post-66242934917457331002018-03-19T18:55:00.001-05:002018-03-19T18:55:39.663-05:00Always amazes me...<div>I am completely baffled and amazed when I go into a public restroom, used strictly by adults, and I find discarded tissue on the floor. These are other adult women. Mothers who clean up at home. Ladies who find it utterly crazy that someone else would leave a mess for them to pickup in their kitchen, bathroom, living room . </div><div><br></div><div>So why a mess here? You would think people would be more considerate. That they would think along the lines of: I dropped it. My mother doesn't work here. I should pick up after myself. <br><br><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_M3Mi-bppXR6-mKA_P1XlfdgDRRf3O4rfWMY_aBCymvXQPUmG8uGvw_JdLGnwJl2l_HtMndrqBk_6PfgkES_q2Tg6o3VTvRTU09Idxs5nNZH54-sUf4TSiiBceADCIj-hxkzTBw/s1600/IMG_3292-739667.JPG"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_M3Mi-bppXR6-mKA_P1XlfdgDRRf3O4rfWMY_aBCymvXQPUmG8uGvw_JdLGnwJl2l_HtMndrqBk_6PfgkES_q2Tg6o3VTvRTU09Idxs5nNZH54-sUf4TSiiBceADCIj-hxkzTBw/s320/IMG_3292-739667.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_6534808809178534546" /></a></div><br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature">Help me wipe out cancer. <a href="http://profile.pmc.org/PH0134">http://profile.pmc.org/PH0134</a><br><div>Thank you,</div><div>Patty</div></div>Patty Heberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09546221946096203283noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17756908.post-35749401385698950322018-03-14T20:36:00.000-05:002018-03-14T20:37:08.465-05:00Parenting 101?<div>Lordy, the grades on parenting are due out, and I am a risk of failing. How do I know? Came home from work today and the kitchen was a mess. Two daughters home and the only way I know they are here is there are more dirty dishes on the counter than when I left. </div><div><br></div><div>Am I failing? I'm shocked by their lack of community. It's not the example I attempt to set. Maybe I'm too much all for one and one for all. For I pitch in and pick up when I see it. </div><div><br></div><div>After a 12 hour hectic work day.... dishes are not the first thing I want to see when I cross the threshold. </div><div><br></div><div>Maybe it will all sink in when they are on their own.
