I’m sitting on my balcony watching the tenders go back and forth, sipping coffee, and enjoying the lovely view. We are going to be in port until 9 tonight so no need to rush off with the crowds. Besides I’m thinking of staying a little later and maybe catching a sunset. This cruise has beenContinue reading “A Day In Santorini”

Sitting on my Balcony
How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? I should be unplugged now but instead I am writing this blog. This is my current view. I am writing as part of my morning ritual now. It clears the mind. It prepares me for my day. IContinue reading “Sitting on my Balcony”
A Morning in Ephesus
It was a warm morning as we approached Turkey. This is a new country for Bruce and I and we are excited to be here. Again we are on a ship excursion being herded like cattle into the theater and getting our name tags. It is not my preferred way to travel but today weContinue reading “A Morning in Ephesus”
Trust Worthy
What quality do you value most in a friend? I guess I value this the most. I value many qualities such as honesty, positivity, loyalty and respect. But if I can’t trust a person than I can’t be real with them. And if I can’t be real, there is really no friendship. I have toContinue reading “Trust Worthy”
A Stop in Athens
I woke early this morning before sunrise to watch as we approached Piraeus, known as the Gateway to Athens. This morning it looks like a typical port. Now we are waiting in the theater for our number to be called. One of the many reasons I don’t like shore excursions with the ship. Another reasonContinue reading “A Stop in Athens”
Many Jobs
What jobs have you had? Oh I started out baby sitting as a young teenager. I also worked as a bookkeeping assistant at a car dealership in high school. Then I was a hostess at a restaurant. A clerk at an insurance company. A secretary at Hearst Publications back when Burt Reynolds’s did a centerfoldContinue reading “Many Jobs”
How Do I Practice
Do you practice religion? Well this is rather a difficult question since my beliefs are not normal mainstream religion. There’s Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Muslim, the Great Spirit and many others. I kind of practice them all to a lesser or greater extent. My beliefs are the spirit is present in all and it’s man’s trimmingsContinue reading “How Do I Practice”
A Visit to Ancient Malta
Yesterday morning I woke early as we approached the island of Malta. As we sailed into port, we had a glimpse of this ancient island. Our tour started in the ancient city of Mdina or Medina. Areas of this city were inhabitated as far back as 8th century bc. As we approached the city, weContinue reading “A Visit to Ancient Malta”
Simpler Times
Do you remember life before the internet? Before the internet, there was the World Book Encyclopedias. There were libraries with research books. Information was not readily available. Now its at your finger tips. But with the good things come the not-so-good things. The isolation. The lack of communication between family members. The neck thing. ThisContinue reading “Simpler Times”
Listening
What are you good at? I’m a good listener. I don’t always need to hear myself talk. As a counselor, I would listen. I let people talk. I let people work things out through my listening and their talking. As a mom, I listened to my child. I could hear what was said between theContinue reading “Listening”
