This picture I chose because what kind of picture do you use related to your own death?  Get it?  I love this painting!  It is probably the way it is going to be in whatever place it is that I’ll be going…whenever… Wednesday, March 30th, 2011…Raining, didn’t get the newspaper…some good news on the phone, some notContinue reading ““Dying is messy…””

When we were babies, we lived our fantasies pronto, at the moment we scream, there is someone changing the diaper, providing some food, or picking us up to make us happy, thereby, realizing our fantasies.  Of course, our fantasies when we were that young were limited to our limited imagination. Last night I was watching “Bridget Jones Diary”Continue reading “Living with some fantasies…”

I have come to the conclusion that happiness is a state of mind.  Now you have it, now you don’t.  It is better if you have more of “now you have it” moments than the alternative. Just now while thinking about what I should write for my next posting, I had a surge of happyContinue reading “Being happy or content just because…”

Today, March 27th, 2011…rainy day and a day to welcome more pondering than usual. The phrase “My New Reality” was introduced into my life six months after Ron had gone to Heaven, in a book called Resilience by Elizabeth Edwards.  There she was talking about the different situations in her life, ie., having lost a son,Continue reading “My New Reality…My New Norm…”

The day we decided to go to the Musee du Louvre in Paris, we had our route designed by Google and went happily on the way…but after walking on one of the most famous avenues in the world, Av. des Champs Elysees, and passing by some other Paris’ known monuments, Milagros decided to take another route.  HereContinue reading “Jardin des Tuleries..in Paris…and a nice surprise…”

I know I am going to rock some boats with this posting, but if boats are not rocking, they are not moving, so I am helping to make progress in the waters of fantasy land.   This morning during my walk with Miss Raylene, yes,  she’s back again walking with me, we saw this baby snake.  ItContinue reading “Cockamamie story of Eve, Adam and the…Snake…”

This is the main reason why.  Finally, I was able to take various photographs of one of my very elusive cardinals.  Still looking for the blue birds, but this one made me so excited.  I had two sights.  One close to my house and the other one in my own backyard! Here are Thelma andContinue reading “It felt like it was Christmas this morning…”

How do I know clams are happy?  I don’t know, but they look like they are always smiling.  Now let me start with the posting. I was one happy being this morning when I set out for my walk.  Miss Raylene had a commitment.  So there I go taking my time, admiring nature and itsContinue reading “Happy as a clam…and then 1040’s came into my life…”

This is not one of my pretty pictures.  Some of those later.  During my walk with Miss Raylene this morning, we came up to this sight.  A Queen Anne chair.  The sign said “Free.”  I must admit, it needs some caring, nails, cleaning and some glue.  After some time invested in the improvement of thisContinue reading “Only in the land of plenty…USA…”

  Finally, it has arrived!  I have been waiting with such an excited anticipation.  The calendar says “First Day of Spring.”  Cannot believe it,  I am able to see another first day of Spring. What does it mean?  It is just as any other Sunday?  No way!  This is a special Sunday.  While preparing toContinue reading “First day of Spring…2011”
