….. continuing
…….Inserting my gold ball earrings (which I haven’t worn in a long time), on my way, walking over to a Neil Diamond Tribute concert… keeping in mind my distorted vision and lack of feeling in my left ear (due to surgery in which nerves were cut) After the concert….– Upon arriving home, brushing my teeth,…

future living
I ran across the phrase, “Live the Future.” This made me pause, take a few breaths, and think, “Yes, I need to get out of remembering the past.” For, on a different blog, I have been writing about the past five years of my life, years that have seen me careen through many unanticipated and…

[meaning #2: a miscellaneous collection of things] How did Erma Bombeck do it? Come up with creative, entertaining, humorous columns five days a week, for decades.

Rather than appearing to be illiterate, I nonchalantly turned to my google friend, where I ferreted out the following “white coat syndrome” details: – term for when your blood pressure rises in…

all about moods
Today I am researching “mood.” It all starts when I run across somebody talking about the emotion ring on their hand. This brings back memories of mood rings created in 1975. This leads to mood lamps, similar to lava lamps of the past. Memories of happy, naïve days. My interest is piqued and thus I…

uncertainty principle
I’m in reflective mode today, on my patio, among my plants, pondering my life choices. Now giving thanks to Heisenberg and his thought experiment for developing the uncertainty principle, which is shaking me out of this malaise. Very basically stated, from initial conditions, there is a limit to the accuracy with which one can predict…
