DOWNSIZING -26 YEARS IN THE MAKING!
Since 1993 ((age 56), I have been continually downsizing. Lots of years spent accumulating. Now, it is the other way around. I have a lot of people ask me how I am doing it because they know the big houses I have had and lots of furniture and “stuff”. Plus, I saved everything “in caseContinue reading “DOWNSIZING -26 YEARS IN THE MAKING!”
RED LETTER DAYS
I keep taking a step at a time and scaring myself each time. Haha! This week has been a “doozy” (Family expression), saying to myself, “Well, when Isis attacks Paris after the Battle of Normandy, I hope I am not shopping at Chanel that day!” I keep thinking that cooler heads will prevail. NOT. A “friend”Continue reading “RED LETTER DAYS”
FAVORITE PHOTOSHOOT PHOTOS
Last Thursday, I did a SeaTrek and took a lot of photographs. I posted some of them on last week’s Jayspeak, but I did not always select my favorites. So, in this post, I am selecting my favorites – just for fun! I have no criteria for which ones I include. Just my own loveContinue reading “FAVORITE PHOTOSHOOT PHOTOS”
SEPTEMBER SELECTIONS – 2019

ENLARGE YOUR UNIVERSE – – – SAY “YES!
***Cliché’s have always been a part of my vocabulary. Why? Because Daddy was ALWAYS saying a cliché, or a catchy slogan, or a joke, or a byline, or a ….. You get the picture. One of his favorites was “The grass is not greener on the other side of the fence.” And “Go to it!”,Continue reading “ENLARGE YOUR UNIVERSE – – – SAY “YES!”

Last week, I took a break! There was a LOT going on in the world. Yes, I was despondent (sigh), but I am back with renewed vim and vitality!!! Sorta. So, on Friday, the 13th following 9/11, I decided to walk to the Sea whether I felt like it or not. And, I was NOTContinue reading “FRIDAY 13TH SEATREK, FINALLY!! aka “A Day in the Life”i”

I know. I know. I said I was not going to write anything today. And, here I am. But, I have some thoughts that I want to share. Plus, writing brings me comfort.

MY BEST FRIEND
One Week from today, on August 31, 2016 (3 years ago), I lost my best friend. His name was/is Steve Orlandella (August 11, 1950 – August 31, 2016). Today, I plan to share some thoughts with you. I won’t be writing about him next week. I plan to use that day to remember. Not write. Continue reading “MY BEST FRIEND”
“TRUTH” AND CONSEQUENCES!
When I start out to write a post on the weekends, I usually lack inspiration. However, during the week, that is all I can think about – saying “that should be a blog” or “great idea for a post!!” This week, I was all excited about expounding on “truth”, as in “There is SO muchContinue reading ““TRUTH” AND CONSEQUENCES!”
