I have a lot of things on my mind. I have been trying to decide what topic I want to “brainstorm” with you today. These are several that I have on my mind. 1) Inside the Bubble, looking out”; 2) WOW, Dorothy, we are not in Kansas anymore.”; 3) The Buck Stops Here; 4) BadContinue reading “BRAINSTORMING WITH MY READERS – (warning) It has been a rough week.”

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)…..”
AUGUST (sigh)
August 2020. August has become a difficult month for me. “Bittersweet”. I think that is the correct use of that word. First of all, it was full of birthdays when I was growing up. Lots of good friends had birthdays in August. As my friends and I have grown apart through the years, I beganContinue reading “AUGUST (sigh)”
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”
JOHN LEWIS, DAN RATHER, AND JESSE JEWELL CHICKENS Ramblings…..
As you know (if you have been keeping up with the news), our democracy is under attack. And many of us are weary and afraid of what’s to come. I am. Irrational anger. Vicious hate. Meanness. Greed. Someone said that we can still be friends, even if we don’t agree. Uh, no. And, no oneContinue reading “JOHN LEWIS, DAN RATHER, AND JESSE JEWELL CHICKENS Ramblings…..”
THROUGH MY EYES…..
THROUGH MY EYES….. Whenever I see something new or learn something new, I try to think about how it applies to my life? I ask myself “Why is this significant to me?” That is the only way I seem to be able to relate. I must make it personal in some way. I do theContinue reading “THROUGH MY EYES…..”
PARIS ROSE
Paris Rose, not to be confused with “Tokyo Rose”, is my attempt to put some beauty into this upcoming weekend. The best thing about the weekend will be Father’s Day. Otherwise, Juneteenth and the Saturday Trump Tulsa rally, predicted to infect large numbers of Americans, are dreadful. My heart breaks from the reality of whatContinue reading “PARIS ROSE”
P.S. (a post script, e.g. #life at work)
After my post “PONDERINGS ABOUT TRUTH”, I now know that most people are aware that a lot of people conceal and lie to “save face” or on a “need to know” basis only. And, it is never wise to name names in a post or in a book. It only causes more problems with peopleContinue reading “P.S. (a post script, e.g. #life at work)”
JUNE 2020 BEGINS…….Jay speaks, Fresh Air, Flowers, PARIS………(sigh)
STATUS UPDATE!! It has been a very busy week! A good week. I am beginning to come alive again. (Sigh) Finally! I got a good knee doctor who is going to help me, and he has started the left knee shots that are already helping me walk better. I bought a red dress!!!!!! That isContinue reading “JUNE 2020 BEGINS…….Jay speaks, Fresh Air, Flowers, PARIS………(sigh)”
