Share Your World – 2016 Week 48

Do you prefer eating foods with nuts or no nuts?

No nuts. I don’t like food in my food. I prefer to eat nuts separately.

If someone made a movie of your life would it be a drama, a comedy, a romantic-comedy, action film, or science fiction?

Dramedy. Meaning Drama and comedy combined with some Sci-Fi thrown in for good measure.

Who talks real sense to you?

My girlfriend La’Verne. She is my best friend and even though she lives in New Jersey and I in New York we still call each other on a regular basis. She is my spiritual Sister.

Do you have a favorite board game?

I used to like those Pop O Matic games when I was a kid. Like the one called Trouble. Anything by Milton Bradley was great fun!

Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

Grateful for starting my new position at work. I really enjoy working nights. Everyone has been friendly and helpful. The 4:30 pm to 12:30 am Midnight shift was made for me.

Extremely Grateful that after being somewhat off-grid for a week I finally got Internet Web Access today. Also Grateful for my trusty Samsung Galaxy Cell Phone with its wonderful WordPress App that allowed me to keep on posting from the Herkimer Laundromat, MTA Subway stations outfitted with WiFi and during break times on the job.

Joy, Peace, Happiness of Soulful Struts

My little Thanksgiving mini-vacation is coming to an end. I’ve been off from work since Thanksgiving and I had a great time being with Stephen and my New Jersey cousins. That was lots of fun. Always great breaking bread with those we Love.

Friday Stephen and I spend a rather quiet day together and Yes I had him outside walking with me on a Soulful Strut. He rather enjoyed it. Stephen had a big smile on his face as the two of us pumped arms and legs strutting proudly like peacocks along Fulton Street in Brooklyn. I did not make him walk too far and we did stop so I could purchase him some much need clothing. So he got some goodies out of the deal as well as exercise. When I retire Spring 2018 I will be taking photos full-time.

I Love My Soulful Struts. Part of my inspiration for taking long leisurely daytime strolls aside from my doctor telling me to exercise was reading the book Wanderlust: A History of Walking by Rebecca Solnit. Excellent book. I highly recommend reading this book.

Every day I tell God and the Universe that I want to be able to do my Soulful Struts five days a week enabling me to not only get much needed exercise but present me with more photographic opportunities. As many of you know I have a Photography Blog called Roaming Urban Gypsy and that’s what I am, a Roving Street Photographer.

My Dad Edward G. Palmer was an amateur photographer. He used to have his photos made into Kodachrome Kodak slides. I still have the slides many dating back to the early 1950s in my closet. Let’s hope they are not dissolving!! Dad also specialized in Black & White photos. This was back in the days of film and having to get that film developed. Daddy had a great day of expertise and would have made an excellent photo-journalist.

I Love taking pictures of my Beloved New York City then showcasing them on Roaming Urban Gypsy. Whenever I’m in photo mode I feel so happy, joyful and centered. Anytime I’m doing either writing or photography I feel I’m in my Purpose, my reason for being. Also the walks exhilarate me. I can feel those endorphins pumping me up! Walking exercise and taking pictures gives me a peace of mind and a sense of creativity.

Allow me to share the gems of my photographic excavations!
