Saw a rainbow today
Three days of rain finally paid off for us.
There was a rainbow visible as the sun emerged. I take this as an indicator of brighter days to come.

Blessings come in unexpected ways
They say that every cloud has a silver lining.
The optimist agrees with this, and the pessimist scoffs at the folly.
Some see the glass as half full and some as half empty. Same thing.

Follow the yellow brick road, Dorothy
A few of you may be too young to remember the original version of the wizard of oz movie.
When I was young they used to show it at special times, like the Thanksgiving holiday.

Resourcefulness is a necessary skill for everyone
Some people are reactive and not pro-active. This can be a concern if you encounter unforseen circumstances.
Being able to roll with the punches is much better than being an ostrich with your head in the sand. This is what I always used to teach my clients.

Cuisine for one
Whenever I had a challenge in the past, I utilized my skills of analysis and problem-solving to devise a solution.
That is actually one of my strengths.
It is my hope that I can figure out the individual facets of my skills, and pass them on to my readers and to others. Perhaps through a workshop.

Today’s thoughts meandering as usual
I tried to go to church this morning.
This is my usual routine, as I’m sure my friends know.
i’ve been doing it for years.

We just toss out and don’t benefit from older things
One thing I have noticed is how many times we throw out perfectly good things, when they could be re-used.
I always recycle at Goodwill or the Arc, but some people just put things in the trash.

Encouragement for you
A goal of mine is to encourage others who may be facing what I am facing, or also to give the heads up to young people precisely what you need to watch out for in a country that no longer has defined benefit retirement plans.
You have to take care of your own affairs all along through your life.

Day by day
I would have said this was a great day, but I ended up having a minor kitchen catastrophe. Oh well. At least it was something new and different.
Typically I am a compent person in the kitchen, but I guess my concentration must have lapsed as I was looking at the newspaper headlines.

Orientation and life’s daily stuff and more
Entirely unbeknownst to me, life was about to change.
This happens to all of us, I know that. That doesn’t make it any easier, however.
