AT THE WATER’S EDGE:
LIVING LIFE AND LEARNING ALL I CAN ALONG THE WAY
Journey with Me
Hi there! My name is Dana. I created this space as a place to share the things I learn along this journey I call life. I am a Jesus follower, wife, twin mom and dog mom. I work in marketing/sales analytics and I’m a sort of Jane of All Trades, interested in all things nature, gardening, cooking, crafting, traveling, exploring and learning new things. This blog is a conglomeration of my interests, hobbies, life and life lessons. Thanks for stopping by!

They say that laughter is the best medicine, and sometimes I really believe it. That’s why I’ve started this collection of jokes and humor relating to rheumatoid arthritis. If you have anything you’d like to add, send it my way via blog comment or Twitter. Enjoy! **Note: Since I’m mostly involved in the RA community

I haven’t spent as much time looking at the stars this summer as I ought to have. However, I have been able to catch several shooting stars and have learned to more easily identify a few stars in the sky, so I’ve had a little fun and I am making progress. Yesterday, Tom and I were outside

Since discovering the online RA and #rheum community, I’ve come across some very witty people who are constantly making me smile and laugh, and who have come up with some pretty creative humor surrounding our ailments. They say laughter is the best medicine, and I say we put that to the test! I’d like to

Fruit pizza is a dessert that has been a tradition in my family for a long time. The original recipe came from our family cook book, but my mom and I have re-vamped it a little so that it’s more to our liking. It’s a delicious dessert that’s great for summertime, when there are lots
