Breathtaking…isn’t it?  Life is all good, we are going back to being nice to each other and still…God is in control. Let’s shake all of that stuff off that made some of us obnoxious, and let’s go back to being our “normal” self.  After all, friends are supposed to be unconditional.  Friend is not aContinue reading “Political storm is over…now let’s go back and enjoy the real things…”

For my compatriots, all of you are already aware we are having a Presidential Election next Tuesday, November 6th. Today,  I decided to take the opportunity to go and vote early.  I waited for 40 minutes in line under magnificent blue skies and a very nice cool weather.  It is not too often you haveContinue reading “My Vote…My Voice…”

Life is such a wonderful thing!  I am breathing, can walk, can type, can take pictures and can a lot of other things.  Yesterday was my 64th Anniversary of being on Planet Earth, the most beautiful planet in the whole Universe. Am I on a good vibe cycle or what!  Lovely, lovely, lovely…that is myContinue reading “Number 6…of 64th…Happy 64th to me…la la la la”

Do you think one can get ill or sick out of trying to eat too healthy?  Sometimes I ponder on that one.  Maybe my aging stomach resents all this good-for-me stuff. I know one thing…I am getting tired of cooking, peeling, eating and then washing the dish and pan.  I know, I know…we been throughContinue reading “Quinoa…here I go, here I go…”

That’s the spirit!  First it was the sonic boom that took half of the electric power out in my condo, then the people next door decided this was the perfect timing to start moving out,   talking loud, a-la-movers-style, and you know the rest. Here I am trying to get my portion of peace for theContinue reading “Shut Up!….I am trying to meditate…Peace…Hummmmm…”

Well, it is that time of the year when the moods start to get lighter…we start thinking about gifts…baking…green stuff and lots of red bows. Let’s reverse a bit…it is that time of the year to start thinking about pumkins…Mama Nature doing her magic again and changing to unbelievable colors…the reds, yellows, oranges…browns…greens (here in Continue reading “Ho Ho Ho…Oops! Not Exactly Yet…”

Look at this breathtaking view…this is what I saw this morning when I started to take my daily walkabout.  The glory of God in full display. Sometimes I wonder about all of the miracles that abound around us.  Just contemplate ourselves.  Our circulatory system, the neurons that inhabit in our brains, our eyes, our mobility, and soContinue reading “Do not take anything or anyone for granted…”

As usual it has been a privilege and an honor to have The United States of America, Republic of Korea, Netherlands, Canada, Russian Federation, Germany, Ireland, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, Myanmar, Spain, Pakistan, United Kingdom and Bangladesh as part of my international community of viewers for the past thirty days. Every month viewers from different partsContinue reading “Thank you, Merci, Danke, Gracias, Obrigada, …”

So many, many reasons.  I can only think about mine… Love to eat good tasting, healthy food…but it takes time to prep and cook, and by the time I seat to eat my pottage, I am  so tired and my back hurting from standing to peel the vegetables, that all I think is “then when IContinue reading “# 1 love-hate-relationship in America…Food…”

Well, enough of me and my bad-hair-moment.  Come to find out, I kind of like it now.  It could be better, maybe next time. This photograph I took during my North Carolina experience back in the days.  Our daily walkabout.  Remember Miss Raylene?  Those were the good old days, but now my days, and IContinue reading “A rose is a rose…a very beautiful rose…”
