On my mind today during this week before Thanksgiving, in a country that doesn’t have Thanksgiving, I have a lot to be thankful for. What? This is not a post of thanks. It is about other things. What? WELLLLLL, I have decided that doctors only know so much. I KNOW that attorneys only know soContinue reading “ON MY MIND DURING THE WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING…..”

NO COMMENT! Dedicated to Missy RIP
Missy died last night while I was asleep. I awoke during the middle of the night to find her dead. It was a terrible experience. She was probably sick at the time I bought her. Who knew? We had five wonderful years together. We were bonded – at least I was – from the beginning.Continue reading “NO COMMENT! Dedicated to Missy RIP”
PARIS – “HUNKERING DOWN !
What a glorious September morning in Paris! I am sitting here in my new apartment in the 16th Arrondissement of Paris, aware that I feel good and am hunkering down. I just had a small breakfast and coffee on the balcony and remembered that I need to start a blog for this weekend. Actually, thatContinue reading “PARIS – “HUNKERING DOWN !”
ON MY MIND THIS MORNING (August 15, 2020)…..
“Without freedom, you have nothing left.” (from Hong Kong.) I quit! “This year, “character is on the ballot.” I agree. “No one sees us. It is like we don’t exist.” (from Belarus). Bottom line, I have reached overload. MY being “emotionally vested” has reached a saturation point. Sorta. But, I cannot love, care, and beContinue reading “ON MY MIND THIS MORNING (August 15, 2020)…..”
STARTING OVER…….AGAIN……….
I am starting over. Today is August 2, 2020, and it is a new day for me. Why? OK, here goes…. Some of this is repetitive to those who “follow” Jayspeak. But, a lot of it is not. That said, during July, I had a bunch of tests plus an MRI to find out whyContinue reading “STARTING OVER…….AGAIN……….”
THE PIANO
When I was a young girl, I took a lot of lessons – speech, voice, piano, baton twirling, dance (ballet, tap, jazz), swimming, diving, tennis. And I was in a lot of recitals and loved being a “show-off”. I was good at most of them. Actually, I was good at a lot of things (especiallyContinue reading “THE PIANO”
NOW! WHERE WAS I? IT WAS 1957…… AND, I WAS IN PARIS, FRANCE, AND I……
What I have on my mind today is NOT the news. I am so alarmed and depressed about the news that I need to help myself “get a grip”. I am walking and thinking and planning and thinking until I have OVERTHOUGHT everything. Ouch. I have time. I am in Paris. I am still alive,Continue reading “NOW! WHERE WAS I? IT WAS 1957…… AND, I WAS IN PARIS, FRANCE, AND I……”
EXPERIMENTS IN CREATIVITY!
I am excited because all of this zooming has given me an idea. And, today is the beginning. This video was /is an experiment for me to work out technical difficulties with iMovie, YouTube, and WordPress. So, I will be getting all of it better as I learn more about it. But, here itContinue reading “EXPERIMENTS IN CREATIVITY!”
MAY FAVORITE PHOTOS OF MINE – PARIS! 6e AND 5e!
Today, I will treat you to some of my favorite photos that I have taken during the last two weeks of lockdown . I am going to miss the empty streets without a lot of people and clear skies with birds chirping. Yesterday, I went into some new streets in 5e and encountered some unpleasantContinue reading “MAY FAVORITE PHOTOS OF MINE – PARIS! 6e AND 5e!”
THINK ABOUT IT!!! (Revised Edition)
I have revised this post because I want to flesh it out some more. As I said before, this week, I am beginning to think ahead, as I reflect. From where I am sitting, I have a lot of questions. This one may require another cup of coffee. Settle in. The lockdown is still outsideContinue reading “THINK ABOUT IT!!! (Revised Edition)”
