Everyday Moments

Thanksgiving has a funny way of sneaking up on us. One day you’re looking for your flip-flops, and then all of a sudden you’re Googling “how long does it take to thaw a turkey the size of a toddler?”

Add Potential Energy - Sheri & Bill Weights on a rack are stored “potential energy.” Energy in motion (kinetic energy), occurs when you actually lift them up. And when you lift them repeatedly, you experience the heat energy you feel in your muscles (which is internal kinetic energy). Physics in action. Presto, you’re stronger and healthier. Ready to flex, do good deeds and create world peace. Some tasks generate a lot more heat than others. Writing a thank-you note is pretty

Perfection is a path, not a destination - or a bowling alley. You can aim for it, but don’t expect to live there. In bowling, the gold standard is the elusive “300 game,” ten frames of nothing but strikes. Even rarer? The almost mythical “900 series” which is three consecutive 300s. Only 40 bowlers in history have ever done it. That’s bowling perfection.

Somewhere along the way, though, we became grown-ups. We learned the “rules.” We got a little more selective about who we play with. We even started keeping score. But wait - don’t the rules sometimes change? And people… oh, they definitely change. So,

All In The Same Boat - Sheri & Bill (Original Photography by Sheri & Bill) If you’ve ever seen a boat full of rainbow-colored glass spheres, you know two things: 1.    Dale Chihuly has been here, and 2.    Life’s certainly more interesting when we’re not all the same. Friends, like these glass spheres, come in all shapes, sizes, talents and experiences. Some are bold and bright, others more muted but equally captivating. Together, they create something remarkable — just like

Head Tilting Wisdom ... Sheri & Bill (Original Photography by Sheri & Bill) You’ve seen the look. That classic, head-cocked-to-the-side expression that says, “Excuse me?” or “Now what?” Animals do it when something puzzles or intrigues them. People do it when they are listening intently, or when something doesn't quite add up. And apparently, hawks do it too, with enough attitude to give a therapist pause.
