I looked at the date and immediately thought of my friend who considered March 10th to be a day of bad luck. It is funny how certain dates stick in one’s mind. I can’t remember the reasons behind why this date held such bad fortune for him, he told me about it back in the […]
For the month of March Jude at Travel Words would like to see Wooden benches A man, his dog and his guitar,overlooking the East River in New York City. Perfect use of a wooden bench
It is March, the supposed harbinger of spring. Not so much today where I am. This is my view out my garden window I hope the forecasters are correct in telling me that next week it is supposed to be close to 50 degrees. If so, there is the chance the mountains of snow will […]
This popped up in the feed on my Facebook wall this morning, and could not have come at a more appropriate time. Some people thrive on feeling misunderstood, setting expectations for people that will never be met, getting themselves into situations and then blaming everyone for the injustice of it all. You never come out […]
I recently discovered I had lowered my expectations of someone so low that they were no longer on my radar. It was a very welcome discovery. The end result was my no longer feeling slighted, unloved, ignored. Pining for the relationship I wished we had. I am not sure if the actual acceptance of the […]
There are many choices of where you can sit in New York City, you just have to look around to find them. On the steps in Times Square Maybe in Bryant Park Atop a sightseeing busOr in the pedestrian mall on Broadway Overlooking the East River in Carl Schurz Park
Today, February 2nd is Lung Leavin’ Day. I only became aware of this a few days ago when Cameron Von St James introduced himself to me through my blog. His wife is a survivor of Mesothelioma, an aggressive cancer caused by asbestos exposure. She was exposed to asbestos from her father’s work coat that was routinely covered […]
I spent yesterday in New York City’s East Village.The East Village is considered to be the area east of Third Avenue and the Bowery to the East River, between 14th Street and Houston Street. It is found in the lower portion of Manhattan. I had not been to the area since I was in my 20’s. […]
The gargantuan, once in a lifetime blizzard that was supposed to hit our area on Tuesday never materialized. The Mayor of NYC shut the transit system, called for a mandatory ban on all cars on the road, and closed schools and government offices. I awoke Tuesday morning to six inches of fluffy snow and no […]
Today the weather was warm enough to melt the ice on the sidewalks, the sky was blue and the sun was shining. I took full advantage of it with the news of a major snowstorm heading this way. Join me on my stroll through the park, starting here by the lake I look up as […]
Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest? Truthfully I would like my mother in law to come back from the dead for a visit. There were a few things I still wanted to ask her before she died that I never asked. There are things I […]
I had a wonderful day in New York City yesterday, visiting the Morgan Library with my sister. It started when the NYC skyline came into view on the helix approach to the Lincoln Tunnel. It was cold but I walked across town taking in the sights on my way. Upon entering the Museum I was […]
I received the story below from a friend, and I thought it was an interesting way to get a point across, so I am sharing it here. Life often is about finding solutions to problems that arise between our friends, our family, our co workers. Often it seems impossible, that we will never be able […]
I am joining in the photo blogging event prompted by Cardinal Guzman in which he asks: Find a location near your home, take somewhere between 5-20 photos and post them in a gallery in your blog. Continue to do this every month. Choose an area like a park or a building a field with some trees, a beach, […]
I passed a pond yesterday filled with a flock of seagulls hanging out in the sun ad standing around on the frozen part of the pond. Ducks and and few geese were there too, including one very large white duck who had found family among the Mallards. I stood watching them, drinking in the sunshine […]
WP: What does it mean to be the same thing, in different forms? Are the past, present, and future versions of ourselves similar or different? Tell us about what’s stayed the same as you’ve changed. The WP writing challenge seems a perfect topic this final day of the year, which also happens to be my birthday. […]
As I drove on the highway this morning, going slow enough to be able to see into the cars alongside me, I thought about how the car allows us to be within our own little world. One person appeared to be singing, another was talking on her cell phone. A man was shaving, this is […]
My husband and I love to take outings on Sundays. In the Spring, Summer and Fall we find crafts fairs and festivals to attend, take hikes in local parks, or visit historic sites in the area. Winter presents more of a challenge as there is less going on. Fortunately our local libraries offer concerts on […]

German couple Emanuele Zaubert and Walter Ledermuller have an amazing harmonizing French bulldog named Junior. The Cologne duo have posted a series of videos featuring Junior two of which I came across on Facebook this morning. After watching the videos I read some of the comments. One woman commented “There is nothing sexier than a man who loves […]
The Daily Prompt: If your life were a movie, what would its soundtrack be like? What songs, instrumental pieces, and other sound effects would be featured on the official soundtrack album? It would be filled with love songs, songs about life, songs about friends, songs about what used to be. Pianos and violins weaving their melodies, […]

The Daily Prompt: Good Tidings: Present-day you meets 10-years-ago you for coffee. Share with your younger self the most challenging thing, the most rewarding thing, and the most fun thing they have to look forward to. My 46 year old self will be surprised to hear she will come out of “early retirement” and completely change course […]
The Daily Prompt: No Time To Waste…Fill in the blank: “Life is too short to _____.” I can’t say I thought much about life being too short when I was younger. Until a person has experienced things that change their perspective; loss, illness cutting short a life, missed opportunity, change, it is hard to think […]
I attended a wedding last night, my husband’s second cousin once removed was marrying off one of her children. We found this cousin about ten years ago when I was researching my husband’s family tree. Most of this cousin’s family perished at the hand of the Nazis so she was very happy to find she […]
