1583. christmas heroes
1582. “i’ll handle the appetizer”
i can handle that
bring appetizer… no prob!
till four a.m. came 🦊❤️
We are really excited to be spending Christmas Eve day in North Jersey with my son Kev, his girlfriend Hillary and her family. I had the job of bringing an appetizer for the gathering. I confidently told Yulan, “I will take care of the appetizer don’t worry about it!” For some reason I took great delight in “handling the appetizer”. At 4:00AM I woke and thought “Did I get an appetizer or did I get an hors d’oeuvre at the market?” I did a quick Google and realized that an appetizer is different from an hors d’oeuvre. I got the latter. Well so be it. We will laugh about it and remember this as the Christmas Eve that Dan “handled the appetizer”. 🦊❤️
1581. that moment before a thought forms
before a thought formed
a sense of first-timeness rose
what a place to be 🦊❤️
There is a magical place called “now”. It exists before your thoughts catch up to what your eyes are seeing. When you encounter it, there is no knowledge, understanding or familiarity with what is right before your eyes. That moment of being “part of it” is the ultimate in peace, stillness and rest. I wish all of us that for whatever holiday we are celebrating this week. 🦊❤️
1580. first
i sat and sipped tea
watching cars be cleared of snow
mine used to be first… 🦊❤️
I sat watching my neighbors clear their cars of the year’s first accumulation of snow. I was still in my recently purchased pajama bottoms that are super baggy and very warm. I could see the morning sun was already starting to crystalize the snow into a more solid coating. My cup of ginger lemon tea with honey and lemon tasted good. I thought about why being the “first” to clean my car on a snowy morning was so very important to me for years. I realized that it still is important to me. I called Yulan and shared my observation. We laughed. After we hung up I continued to ponder the question. Later that evening I bundled up and cleared my car of the frozen snow. 🦊❤️
1579. when toys were toys
rusted hulks of toys
rescued and made new again
sadly not for play…🦊❤️
I have had extra time in my hands recently and have been binge watching “Chip Channel Restorations” on youtube. The channel is all about “Chip” restoring absolutely rusted and broken toys to mint condition. His skill and expertise is mind blowing. As I watched the videos I recalled the magical fun I had as a kid playing with simple trucks and cars out in the dirt. Building roads, hauling and dumping dirt and sometimes demolishing the toys when war games were being played. It made me think about the fact that these simple toys, non electronic and unsophisticated were simply prompts to build creativity and imagination in my brain. Too bad Chip’s restored toys will most likely never again end up in a little kids hand to be rolling around in the dirt and mud. Rather they will be safely stored on a shelf after purchased for a very high price…. 🦊❤️
1578. drones, drones, drones
awakened from sleep
two eerie blue lights closed in
drones? maybe worse??
My sleep has been very restless lately. I suddenly woke in the middle of the night with a fuzzy mind and fuzzier eyes. I saw two eerie blue lights appearing to be closing in on my bed. My first thought went to “drones?” Then I instantaneously realized that the lights were operating lights on my room humidifier. Who says that drones, or maybe worse can’t be so very small they could zoom around inside our homes. Actually it would be pretty cool!!! I eventually drifted off to sleep after snapping a picture of my overnight “sighting” for today’s blog. 🦊❤️
1577. faux fun
on this rainy night
