Green Bananas

On July 29, 2022 By Katherine DarlingtonLeave a comment

I meet a lot of people from different backgrounds where I work.  Not all, but the majority of them are older and they all want to be healthier.  What makes me smile is when I see octogenarians, full of life, willing to do anything to improve their health.  Many of them have had their fair …

Be Positive

On March 2, 2022 By Katherine Darlington4 Comments

As I’m getting ready to put words together, I’m not sure what I want to say.  I wanted to write about my dad and his passing, and what that meant, but it doesn’t seem to fit right now.  I don’t know why.  Maybe because there have been so many changes in my life, and his …

Icicles and Christmas Trees

On November 27, 2021 By Katherine DarlingtonLeave a comment

I grew up during a time of silver, gold, and pink Christmas trees, none of which my father would have ever allowed in our house.  Until I moved out, I only remember our trees being real, along with pine needles everywhere and our wood-burning stove drying out our tree even more (at least, according to …

Feeding Your Soul

On October 15, 2021 By Katherine DarlingtonLeave a comment

I’ve come to understand and accept more things as I get older.  Not a lot of things. Just some things. These things I understand better than I did a decade ago, and maybe even last week. And I embrace them fully. What are some of them? I’ve come to realize that it’s OK to drive …

Charlie

As I hung on to his neck On that stormy spring morning The clouds popped out of the way: I buried my face into his brightness My palomino My Charlie My Shield I took refuge with him Often He held me with those deep, brown eyes He covered me with serenity (As I had not …

In My Eyes

On September 13, 2021 By Katherine Darlington1 Comment

If you were to ask me when I was placed here, I don’t believe I could tell you.  I’m positive I can’t tell you. Do you ever look back on your week, or even your month, and think to yourself, where did Time escape?  I have heard that is a popular thought amongst many, and …

Carrot Cookies

On September 3, 2021 By Katherine DarlingtonLeave a comment

Sometimes there’s no other way to describe a day other than “Carrot Cookies.” It’s been a different kind of summer for me, and now that September’s here, I’m mourning the loss of summertime, even though fall doesn’t officially start for a few weeks.  Everything about this past summer has been different, and I miss Colorado …

Simplicity…What Does It Mean to You?

On August 11, 2021 By Katherine DarlingtonLeave a comment

There’s something about living a simpler lifestyle that makes one’s heart sigh.  It’s like having a soft (but supportive) pillow.  It’s...comfortable. Some people think simplicity is living off the grid, like in Alaska, and raising and hunting their own food.  (I think this is a lot of work myself, but some people bask in this …

Three Things to Buy for Happiness

On July 31, 2021 By Katherine DarlingtonLeave a comment

How can we buy happiness? First, let me say that I enjoy watching Joshua Becker’s podcasts on minimalism, and reading the many articles he’s written over the years on living a simpler lifestyle.   When I came across his podcast the other day about buying happiness, it made total sense.  I’d like to share what I’ve …

Silence…And Why It’s Important

On July 30, 2021 By Katherine DarlingtonLeave a comment

I don’t know about you, but one reason I like to get away to the mountains or somewhere a bit remote is so I can hear…nothing…nothing, that is, except the wind through the trees or a river making its way over rocks.  But if I waited until these times to find or notice silence, or …
