Good Morning Thoughts

I am not exactly sure when this thought occurred to me, but I have a limited amount of sunrises in my life. I want to enjoy as many as possible. I am so blessed to live near a place with water because how extra beautiful is the sun over the water. How lovely the unique birds I see. How amazing is nature in general. I do not want to take for granted my legs to walk me to the water's edge nor the eyes that soak in my surroundings. I want to find pleasure in the daily things. Every day..

Havre de Grace Library

Havre de Grace Library 120 N. Union Ave So today is the first day of the summer of ME. First off, I am finding very quickly that I do not do well without a schedule. Yikes.. I will be working for the rest of my life it seems because that feels good to me. Unless I can force myself to make a schedule of sorts... this is the plan. I wanted to go to a library that I had not been to before, but decide instead to blog about this one to show you, my dear sister, what I see. The pictures are obviously amateur and from my cell phone, but they do a fairly good job. It is a lovely place filled with books and wonderment. The side- the main entrance What you see when you first walk in This front desk that you first see isn't always manned. and just out of the picture to the right you can see the beginning of the stairs as pictured below. To the left are some conference rooms - very large ones, and I think behind this desk there are offices. stairs sta...

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn - Betty Smith

I just finished Book One. I love how this is written and how I feel like I am in Francie's head even though it is written in 3rd person. I love how she watches the world around her and thinks deeply about the people she sees. I can relate. I feel extravagant when thinking of the meager way her family lives. Interesting her thoughts on the Jews and how Jewish women walk proudly when pregnant as they might give birth to Jesus... Irish woman walk shamefully because they will only have a Mick...this made me laugh. I finally met the mom's sister, Sissy. Three husbands! That is scandalous in 1912... it is still a thought that makes most of us go.. um whoa. Sad that she has had 10 babies who all died. What in the world?! I am not sure I could handle that. She also apparently doesn't purchase the whispered about products from her company. Yikes. Lastly, the food descriptions, again make me feel extravagant, but also make me think of that Cooking with Norma...

Solving the Problem

My day today has been busy and yet overall uneventful. I have put off cleaning and laundry for the most part to finish reading my book, watch some mindless television, and eat perogies. I did time myself clearing off the island because, well you know how things are huge in your head? I did not rush at all and it took me 4 minutes and 37 seconds. I shake my head. I also went through a laundry basket, made a pile of clothes to give away, organized the basket with blankets including the box with my electric blanket for storage. pile to give away for storage Now neither of these things call for the title of "Solving the Problem", but what does...comes next. I had been putting off fixing the sink as well. I knew I could do it, and I am still unsure as to why I was procrastinating. I finally said, "Let's go, Jennifer. You need to do this thing." It helped knowing that I was going to blog my adventure for you. small amount of water Thi...
