https://youtu.be/CCxXDaadSx8 Shower Thoughts: If you were invisible, you’d be effectively blind since light would pass through your retina rather than striking it. This morning I am writing from my bed-desk. I’m thinking about the parts of me that need a shower and weighing that against the effort to leave my warm bed. The bedroom windowContinueContinue reading “Day 53: Thinking to Much”

Day 48: Love Thy Neighbor
https://youtu.be/QX8VkplcgSs “Mr. Coal operator call me anything you please, blue, green, or red, I aim to see to it that these Kentucky coal miners will not dig your coal while their little children are crying and dying for milk and bread.” — Aunt Molly Jackson, the ultimate Pistol Packin’ Mama,(1880-1960) This morning I’m thinking aboutContinueContinue reading “Day 48: Love Thy Neighbor”
Day 43: Negative
https://youtu.be/KgfNA19BBvg Shower Thoughts: It’s adorable we thought 2016 was a terrible year because about 40 famous people died. People are comparing 2020 to other years. Is this the worst? Maybe. On a global scale, I would have to say “YES.” The economic damage worldwide is like nothing we’ve seen. The extreme pressures on a householdContinueContinue reading “Day 43: Negative”
Day 38: Raw Poetry
https://youtu.be/sJ-0XV9SRZU Northwest Washington is experiencing some rain this week. Most of us are well equipped for walking in the rain, but if you can find a sunshine break to get in a mile or more of a walk it is perfect! The monthly poetry discussion group I’ve been apart of since October 2015 is meetingContinueContinue reading “Day 38: Raw Poetry”
Day 36: Writers Life
https://youtu.be/S9tWh5uwQNY Organizing my poetry folder this morning, I found a little day-in-the-life story from October 2018. It is primarily about the way fickle inspiration for a poem or a short story sometimes comes to you, and if you’re not disciplined enough, it flies away, forgotten forever. Thought I would share it today. A poetess friendContinueContinue reading “Day 36: Writers Life”
Day 35: Whats Bad for the Hive, is Bad for the Bee
https://youtu.be/LKrTGik5wsI Shower Thoughts: An “unlimited minutes per month” phone plan really only gives you 44,640 minutes per month at best. What are some changes to your daily routine since lockdown? Are there additions to your diet? Perhaps you stopped doing something or perhaps started buying some new items? I am eating more immune-building foods. AddingContinueContinue reading “Day 35: Whats Bad for the Hive, is Bad for the Bee”
Day 30: Zoom Fatigue
https://youtu.be/Bmhswb9t0AI Yesterday, Washington State entered its 4th week of lockdown. On Tuesday, March 24th our governor declared that everything but essential businesses close and for citizens to shelter in place TFN. Weeks prior folks and businesses started to practice social distancing. So here we are. What can we say? What can we do? We canContinueContinue reading “Day 30: Zoom Fatigue”
Day 27: Not Normal
https://youtu.be/gAaHNYxkS_E If it wasn’t for the news I could believe this was a normal day in April. The sun is lower now, a quick glance at the clock and confirm 5:11 p.m. Most families will be off the trail, heading home for dinner. It’s a good time for a walk around the lake. Coming upContinueContinue reading “Day 27: Not Normal”
Day 22: It’s All Good
https://youtu.be/ZHBjA7TWvtM Today felt like a normal day. The middle of the week is busy-time. Busy-time is my normal. I can’t help myself. Perhaps, one day, I’ll be a free spirit like the porta potties in the video–blowing in the wind–but hopefully, I won’t be full of shit. hahahahaa! Well, maybe a little. 1) an observedContinueContinue reading “Day 22: It’s All Good”
Day 21
https://youtu.be/jEeSrdK883s How are you today? How are your neighborhood and your city handling the pandemic? Are you meeting up with friends and/or family online? I enjoy visiting with my family. Once a week, at a scheduled time, we meet online to keep in contact with each other. It makes me very happy to SEE they areContinueContinue reading “Day 21”
