Live my life by the Desiderata, Golden Rule and gratitude. Believe Good is stronger than Evil & that the Arts remind us of that. Life’s too short: eat chocolate!

Good morning, my friend!
Happy Valentine’s-Chinese New Year-St. Patrick’s-Passover-Easter! Seems that stores are going off the Peep end, putting all their eggs in one basket! (It is called #holidaycreep, when holiday items appear weeks & months before the actual day). Hare-brained? Or Eggs-citing?

Good morning, my friend! Sorry,
SB is not a 3-day weekend, so just hang in there!
PS: For those who watched, just sharing that my favorite ad was the beautifully filmed, sentimental, powerful, “American Icons,” with Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” as soundtrack.
“…and this bird you cannot change.”

Good morning, my friend! Happy #FriYay! After the week that was, a quiet #respite in #mygarden. At 7am the #moon to the west, & so many fur-midable #tracks in the #snow. Pawsitive made by #rabbit, #fox, #squirrel, #deer, (and large in front by hubs as he checked around the house).
Paws fur effect.

Good morning, my friends! Tho’ the feather was gloomy, I had a sparrow minute so I stopped to hear an or-kestral tour group. Im-peck-able! Would’ve waited owl day to hear them! Ok, not quite as great as The Yardbirds or The Eagles ‘coz no encore, but they reminded me it was flew season so no egrets.

Good morning, my friend! I printed out this list and plan to frame it for my kitchen, (our gathering room). I appreciate and everything here. I’d add “good books,” “music,” and “walks in nature.” How about you?

Good morning, my friend! Happy #FriYay! After the week that was, thought we could mush our way through #mygarden for an end-of-week #respite. These are some “afters” from the #backdeck (after shoveling it). Peaceful reminder that regardless of how bad, we’ve all made it through yet another storm. ❤️💪

Good morning, my friend! It’s #NationalPuzzleDay!🧩I love them to pieces and I’m never board! When completed I’m relaxed and pieceful. They fit perfectly in my life. Remember: some can be tricky but never eat them just to find your inner piece! Piece out!

Good morning, my friend! Happy #FriYay! It doesn’t happen as often in the too-cold #winter, but today I invite you to our end-of-week #respite in #mygarden. Pretty #sky with #crescentmoon at 5pm yesterday from the garden. When the world tries to defeat you, let Nature restore you. #lifesavors #peace

Good morning, my friend! Saw this clock-sculpture at the red light outside #MassCollegeofArt. Called to learn more. c2010 work by late Prof. George Greenamyer, “All Time Belongs To God.” Devil & angel flank a clock whose rotors change the time with the wind.
#Clock was ticking. Red light changed.

Good morning, my friend! After putting away the snow shovel yesterday, I took a look at the #geraniums I brought into the garage in November. I haven’t watered them, yet this one has 2 sets of buds! 🤷♀️
PS: the 1st day of #spring is 2 months from today!

Good morning, my friend! Continuing my tradition of sharing different famous quotes of his on #MLKDay!
Also, the Boston-area forecast says “snow and fog mix” this morning, so be extra careful on the roads if heading out to work or volunteering on #MLKDayofService.

See? It’s a real feeling! It’s not just you. 😉🤣
Hang on, and just do your best!
