Share Your World – January 9, 2017
If you lost a bet and had to dye your hair a color of the rainbow for a week, what color would it be?
Well I already dye my hair. It is Manic Panic Vampire Red which I discussed in a previous post. Once I did try to dye my hair purple/violet but that did not work out. Electric Blue would be fun but I can only do this once I retire. My bosses would not be too thrilled to see me with some weird color shade!
If you could choose one word to focus on for 2017, what would it be?
Hope.
What was one thing you learned last year that you added to your life?
Lose the pride and ask for help. Actually this is an ongoing process that has been taking place for nearly ten years. I’m not Wonder Woman or Super Woman and as I’ve gotten older there are things I can no longer do on my own. The Aging process changes everything. One must learn to Accept and Adapt to their limitations.
If life was ‘just a bowl of cherries’… which fruit other than a cherry would you be..?
Pineapple. Hard on the outside. Soft on the inside.
Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
The Meeting at Stephen’s residence went better than expected. Spoke in person with the Director of the Group Home. Also went to Stephen’s room and went through his things. He does have plenty of clothes. In fact he could open up his own store!! I think we have ironed out certain issues and my plan is to move forward in 2017.
Next Sunday, Jan 15th I look forward to getting together with my Japanese friend and attending services at her Buddhist Temple. I took that day off and I hope and pray that it does not snow!!
Riddles in the dark…
This is beautiful prose/poetry. Listening to the reading is captivating. I purchased the book when it first came out. I may buy another one! Please support these wonderful folks!!
I’ve been writing again. It’s slow work, scattered and often broken, but there’s movement of sorts. When I think back to how much and how frequently I used to write, it feels sometimes as if I’ve faltered, but in truth I’m moving to a different rhythm now. Of what I’ve written so far, what little good there has been has come about through grace or happy accident, and I’ve cultivated those skills that serve best for putting myself in the right place and time to have a pen in my hand and not too much interference internally when the lightning moves. But, as time goes on, I’m more and more interested in the other side of this poetic coin – the form and the making of a vehicle for the magic through that form. If I had the time (and money) I’d study at greater length and learn how to…

Good Vacation News
Blogging Family,
Remember how I was moaning and groaning over the extremely high Con Edison bill and thought I was not going to be able to go away end of Feb/March 2017. Well I was wrong! I received this great email message a few days ago.
Hello, Deborah.Thanks so much for your note and glad to hear of your interest and plans.MetroNorth from Grand Central or 125th Street is the way to come — and it ends in New Haven at Union Station here. Beinecke Library is downtown in the heart of the Yale campus, an easy taxi/Uber from the station (and a nice enough walk if the weather is decent).Our hours and other information are here: http://beinecke.library.yale.eduThe Yale University Art Gallery, among other venues on campus, are also worth checking out on a visit. Yale’s art museums, like Beinecke’s exhibitions, are free and open to the public. The Yale Calendar of Events — http://calendar.yale.edu/cal/opa — and Yale Arts Calendar — http://artscalendar.yale.edu/ — are great resources.
P.S. ~~ All that overtime I do helped me pay my half of the bill. My room-mate and I split the electric bill. Hard work does pay off and working on Holidays is a good thing! Mo’ Money! Mo’ Money! Mo’ Money!
So Yes I will be going to see the Yale Harlem Renaissance special exhibit for my birthday!! Hooray!! Maybe not right on Feb. 27th which will be my BornDay Celebration but I plan to take that week off on vacation anyway. My only consideration will be the weather as Snowstorms put an end to train travel. But with God’s Blessings and Divine Favor it will NOT Snow and the temps will rise to the 40s at least for my vacation week!
On the subject of Vacation Big Ups to both my Supervisors who are excellent young Ladies! They are a Blessing to work with. We work well together. They have a sense of humor and are Flexible! I know I’ve said this before but I cannot repeat it enough, I’m so Glad and Happy I moved to the Evening/Night Shift!! The rest of my co-workers on both the evening and night shifts are Super Nice. We have each others back and support each other. My work environment is the best its been in 8 years. This is my 9th year at the museum and I’m so Blessed to be with a community of people who are fun to be with.
As for Saratoga, well I did go there with my Dad many years ago and I thoroughly enjoyed our trip. My Dad Edward G. Palmer was a true Blessing for me and my brother Stephen as he took us many places and exposed us to locations outside New York City.
When I was in the military Daddy had more Father/Son bonding time. Daddy and Stephen went on an Alaskan cruise! I’m sure they had fun. Stephen was very close to Daddy and even though he can’t really tell me what they did I’m sure Stephen has fond memories of the Cruise.
The moral of the Story is that and always is God answers prayer. Maybe not in the way we want or on our time line but the Lord always comes through. For that I am Grateful.
As the Mothers of the Church used to say, God will make a way out of no way! Say Amen Somebody!!
1 Chronicles 4:10
New King James Version (NKJV)
10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.
Jeremiah 29:11 New King James Version (NKJV)
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
