    I will admit that exercise and I were not always a match made in heaven. To be perfectly honest, I was not too fond of P.E. when I was growing up. No matter how hard I tried, it was never good enough. Sports did not come easily to me, and I got to the point where I quit trying. Yes, […]

    I used to go to the gym many moons ago, but thankfully, I decided to work out at home several years ago, and I have never considered signing up at the gym again. It served me well when the pandemic hit last year. Here is where I spend most of my workout time now. Out in the garage on a […]

    I don’t make New Year’s resolutions anymore because I believe you can make a goal any time you like. But I do make goals, and I prefer to call them declarations.
