Does WHAT fit? This is about… the Operative Question for me has always been – Do I / THEY / HE / SHE / IT fit? My intuition has been one of my best friends throughout my life. And, slowly but surely, I have begun counting on it to lead the way. So, upon reflection,Continue reading “DOES IT FIT?”

KEEP THE PONY!
“When things get tough, the tough get going.” (- Jesse Dickson Jewell (Daddy)) “With all this s_____ , there must be a pony here somewhere” (- Janet Tallulah Jewell (me)). “Is the glass half full or half empty?” (- I don’t remember). My family was big on metaphors/cliches/similes, especially DaddyContinue reading “KEEP THE PONY!”
MEMORIES REMAIN IN THE HEART
Some additional thoughts about downsizing. I have gotten some interesting comments about getting rid of things. But, moving will usually motivate people to get started. I just am a drastic case. I started with a lot, and I now have room physically for a little. Also, I don’t have anyone who wants my stuff butContinue reading “MEMORIES REMAIN IN THE HEART”
NEW LIFE
This is one of those days when I have so many ideas for posts in my head that I don’t know where to start. The downsizing is taking on a life of its own and really a lot of fun. At first, I was just throwing things in the trash. I did that until IContinue reading “NEW LIFE”
PARIS WEEK
Paris Week! Yes, I went to Paris on the train for six nights and seven days (two travel days). On Monday, October 21, 2019, I got on the TGV High Speed Train to Paris at Gare Nice Ville. My tickets were First Class because I wanted all the bells and whistles that First Class provided. IContinue reading “PARIS WEEK”
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”
THROUGH MY EYES …..
Those who know me know that I am not afraid of change. And, of late, I have been craving change of location – namely Paris. So as I begin the process of tackling all the matters that must be handled prior to a move, I found this post on Facebook. It makes sense to meContinue reading “THROUGH MY EYES …..”
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”
THREE-MONTH SEATREK PHOTOSHOOT
On Thursday of last week, September 26, 2019, I celebrated my 3-month anniversary since my second knee surgery and walked 3.5 miles, going along a route that I walked before both of my knee surgeries (the first terrible surgery was exactly one year ago – September 27, 2018 – Ugh! I did not know ifContinue reading “THREE-MONTH SEATREK PHOTOSHOOT”
