“THAT WAS THEN; THIS IS NOW”

This is what is on my mind this morning. Something happened this week that made me very angry. And, hurt. So, when I woke up, I wrote down some words that kept running through my mind – THAT WAS THEN. THIS IS NOW. The “then” I once knew – no longer exists. This is NOW. TheContinue reading ““THAT WAS THEN; THIS IS NOW””

EASTER 2020 – “CLEAN SLATES”

THIS EASTER WEEKEND, I AM working with “a clean slate”. What do I mean? Welllll, I am still “in lockdown”. I cannot go out of the house without an “Attestation” (paper document) or I get fined (if I get stopped by the police). France is not doing well with its number of cases andContinue reading “EASTER 2020 – “CLEAN SLATES””

OUTSIDE MY DOOR – ONE MILE; 40 MINUTES!

BREAKING NEWS!!! I got stopped by the police again this morning! France has tightened restrictions regarding jogging and walking for exercise because people (young and old) were just going about their business, as usual, as far as getting together to exercise, laugh, and enjoy the spring weather in Paris. Damn! I have waited to doContinue reading “OUTSIDE MY DOOR – ONE MILE; 40 MINUTES!”

WE ALL HAVE A STORY

Lately, I have seen a lot of posts and gotten a lot of emails wanting me to share my story and it might be used somewhere. Which story do you want me to share? I have several stories. My early years. Candler Street Grammar School. My teens. My family of origin. My ancestors. My auntsContinue reading “WE ALL HAVE A STORY”

“Pick Yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again…..”

Here’s to those who still believe, here’s to the losers, bless them all. Here’s to the winners all of us can be! Thank you, Frank Sinatra. What beautiful music you made for all of us. This is Day 17.

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”

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”

UPDATE – WONDERFUL MOMENTS aka MIRACLES! -“SIX DAYS IN JUNE, 2019”

YES!! Six wonderful days in June!! I loved every moment. The arrival, the family dinners, and the farewell. Those moments were precious to me. Just knowing they were down the street was comforting to me. Getting to hug them both. Seeing their happy faces in the pictures they were posting for friends back home. ItContinue reading “UPDATE – WONDERFUL MOMENTS aka MIRACLES! -“SIX DAYS IN JUNE, 2019””

UP THE HILL!

The Park. The Monastery. The garden. The ancient city. It is all there – up the hill from my house. A mere bus ride away. In the park, there is a track that circles it. Runner, walkers, bicyclists, all use the track. And, in doing so, they pass the remains of the ancient Roman city ofContinue reading “UP THE HILL!”
