Talk about stumbling through antiquity, I wandered into a “church” to light my February candles for my family. The “church” was going through a lot of reconstruction, so I made my way to the candles, paid my fees, said my prayers, and lit my candles and took a picture to remind me of February blessingsContinue reading “ST-GERMAIN-DES-PRES”

“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. So, I have been here a little over two weeks. And, a LOT has happened sinceContinue reading ““Pick Yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again…..””
A BRIEF INTERLUDE
I need to rest my mind because I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment. Nothing is working. Well, that’s not true. The hotspot is working. Otherwise I would not be able to get the internet. But the in-house Wi-Fi is not working. And, I don’t know how to access it. Neither does my landlord. Continue reading “A BRIEF INTERLUDE”
A SHORT RAMBLING…..
It has been a long emotional month, preparing to change into a new life – AGAIN. I felt the same way, or at least, similar, when I went away to the University of Wisconsin from Georgia; when I went away to Los Angeles, California from Georgia, when I moved to Nice, France, from California. And,Continue reading “A SHORT RAMBLING…..”
THE PARIS REQUIREMENT
Paris has certain requirements for me. I have raised the bar. In my last remaining days in Nice, it is bittersweet. It was here that I was introduced to France, it customs, its people, its loves and its hates. It is VERY different from the United States, where each state is different – like 50Continue reading “THE PARIS REQUIREMENT”
22 DAYS TO GO – Paris-Bound
We are living in interesting times! That is definitely one way to look at the news. I don’t like most of what I see and hear. AND, I am not getting my way with most things, but I will concede– the news is not boring. Alarming, yes. Boring, no. And, when I am just doingContinue reading “22 DAYS TO GO – Paris-Bound”
“RAMBLINGS TO REV UP THE ENGINE”(wait! I don’t have a car……)
This is one of those days when I have so many topics to discuss that I am having difficulty choosing one. Post topics come to me in the middle of the night when I have so much to discuss with all of you. Haha. You have become very important in my life – like itContinue reading ““RAMBLINGS TO REV UP THE ENGINE”(wait! I don’t have a car……)”
HAPPY TWENTIES (2020)!
Earlier in Jayspeak, I wrote about “decades” and added a photograph that was taken during the year 1937, 1947, 1957 and so forth during the years that I was born and then turned 10, 20, 30, and so forth, ending with the year that I turned 80. Well, this is a different kind of “decade. Continue reading “HAPPY TWENTIES (2020)!”
DOES IT FIT?
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!”
