Some days it just takes the morning happenings… The gravity of our current situation is punctuated with some unpredicted rain. I am pretty sure last nights forecast was for an unseasonably warm day… It could still happen My debit card could come in the mail today, I’ve called three times and they have checked theContinue reading “It’s not so bad”

Monday
Monday after the time changed. Good morning! How to fill the hours before work? Waiting for the temperature to rise a little before I set out on my walk, I’ve turned my attention to the lovely things. (I’m a morning person just to remind you). We left the hospital last night on a high note.Continue reading “Monday”

Every January they do a kindness matters campaign with school children all across the world. There is a checklist of kind acts, all thought of by kids. There are activities and celebrations.

Culture observation
Here’s a thing. Rarely do you see a Californian mow their own lawn. Yards tend to be small. There are drought resistant plants taking up portions of the space, but I’m not sure I know anyone with their own mower. It’s a service. We inherit a gardener from the people before us. Yard work isContinue reading “Culture observation”

Re-live?
Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live? Probably not. Especially if it’s exactly as it was without any more insight or awareness. Repeat it all exactly as it happened? Nah I’d rather move forward. I have so many fond memories. Remembering is a nice way to revisit, but hmm. IfContinue reading “Re-live?”
Fascinated by past events? Who isn’t?
What historical event fascinates you the most? It’s hard to chose ONE I’m fascinated by history. I love a good story. I like hearing where conclusions come from. I’m fascinated by how a fact from one era is no longer a fact in another. We really don’t learn from history at least not as aContinue reading “Fascinated by past events? Who isn’t?”
Unexpected Shifting
The cold front did not move in as the weather man had predicted. New England weather can be tricky that way. We had the gift of a beautiful sunny summer-like day. Our morning at the beach turned into a full day. I walked, G rode waves and I laid on a towel on the warmContinue reading “Unexpected Shifting”
