What do you love about where you live? I live in South Florida where it’s sort of tropical. It will rain almost daily but rarely all day long. The beaches are beautiful; the water is clean and we rarely have sharks. In the winter we only have a few days that are cold where aContinue reading “Sunshine and warmth”

What positive emotion do you feel most often? I like taking life a little less seriously these days. So finding things amusing is better than getting irritated, angry or disconnected. I’m learning to enjoy people’s differences rather than being fearful or filled with disdain.

Our world has become such a self-serving, self-justification, self-important, selfish society. What is happening in the US is happening everywhere. Politicians lookingContinue reading “More Peace, Less War”

What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it? Of course, lobster in Maine is always worth it. It’s my favorite food. It doesn’t come cheap. But I really don’t like to spend fortunes on eating out. I can live without the roll or drawn butter. Just bring on theContinue reading “Probably Lobster”
