March 10, 2021

Good morning everyone, today is Wednesday March 10, 2021, the weather predicts temperatures in the 50’s. Well yesterday Mother Nature gave us a real treat, it was like a spring day that’s why I enjoy the month of March, it gives us little presents of beautiful weather to look forward to but it can also bring back reality with a snowstorm however, they melt quickly. I hope all of you were able to spend sometime outdoors yesterday and get some fresh air into your lungs. Today not as warm but still beautiful. Last night I watched a show called the New Amsterdam it is a hospital show based loosely on Bellevue Hospital in NYC. It was sort of a tribute to all the hospital essential workers who have died of COVID. It made me realize and appreciate my anger when I hear this pandemic was not real. Nothing infuriates me more than hearing that. Maybe imbellished on some counts but whatever it was and is took lives and to me that is reality. Something we must take seriously and continue to be on guard.
I have begun to resume my daily walks outside. It gives me a great opportunity to think, remember, plan. Now I listen to music which never really sparked much in me but now that is different a song can envoke such stong memories and ideas. In my life I have been accused of being out of reality not seeing things the way they are, however I don’t see it that way I see it as I am an optimist. I try to find good in all situations and ways to make them better. When I wrote about me on the Refections of a life page, I compared myself to the song from Frank Sinatra, I’ve been a puppet, a pirate, poet and a king. And I know one thing each time I find myself flat on my face , I just pick myself up and get back in the race, that’s life there’s no denying it that’s life. During my life like all of us I have had ups and downs but if you stay down you might never get up so I live with the idea of trying to make it better.
You know I ask you everyday to find something to make you enjoy life no matter how small it is, we need that in life to be happy. Marylou knits and I asked her awhile ago to make me a scarf you know scarves are essential to me. Well she did and it is amazing and keeps my neck as warm as could be. Now I will wear a scarf til May because if my neck is cold I am cold and I’m always cold. So I asked her to make me a lightweight scarf I can wear in the spring. She agreed but said you come to the knitting store and pick the yarn you want. So we did this, it was someplace I had never been but I got great enjoyment out of picking what I wanted the woman showed me all weights of yarn and colors, I wanted black but she advised against it, so I picked something close. It is a nice feeling to pick something and realize it will be made for you, I used to get that feeling when picking fabrics I wanted made into shirts. I told her on the way home you can give me that for St Joseph’s Day which is just around the corner.
In closing for the day I will repeat like I do everyday to remind you, find some enjoyment today no matter what it is just let it make you happy. Til Tomorrow!
