So, you all know how much I enjoy living by the water. You would think with all my life’s history as a child and now as an adult, I would enjoy a good swim. Heck, I even have a pool. But you will rarely find me in any body of water.
Many of us have been at this for a long time. Many of us are just getting started. Many of us who have been at this for a long time, are really just getting started or perhaps getting started with something new.
We have not been in a movie theater since before the pandemic. We have a wide screen television and theater chairs in our home and that has happily served as our theater for the past three years. In fact, we refer to the room as our theater. We even have a group of friends come over the first Saturday of the month for dinner and a movie.
I'm not really a doughut guy. I don't take trips to Dunkin' or buy Crispy Cremes but a local coffee shop called COCO Confections and Coffee (the owner Terry is in the picture) near my house in Sea Cliff has some very special treats on the weekend.
I first learned of the single sailor, around the World Golden Globe (sail boat) Race when my friend Guy deBoer entered it.
The race started last year on the west coast of France on September 4th and we were there in beautiful Les Sables to see Guy off on his unique adventure.
Not only is the race solo, but it takes place in a 1968 (year of initial race) time warp, ie, no post 1968 technology is allowed.
No GPS, for example.
I gazed at the plant several times. A small myrtle topiary. Perfectly shaped with its foliage in a ball atop its stem.I was warned. A hard plant to keep alive. On the other hand, water as needed and keep it by a window and it should be fine.
.... Happens - even when you least expect it
....Don't let it pass you by
.... Is what you make of it.
....is just a bowl of cherries
...goes on.
These are the things I remind myself when I am at a low point.
What do you speak to your inner self to heal or push yourself forward?
