SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2016 WEEK 15

With your answers, please remember we are in the SYW world and which may not always match our reality.

Announcement: Since WordPress pingbacks are not working properly right now, I would recommend you add a replay with your post link to your challenge entries so you will considered for features.

Name one thing not many people know about you.

I was a Telex Operator at the Reader’s Digest Advertising offices in Manhattan during the mid-1980s. At the time Ms. Wallace was still living though she stayed in the Pleasantville, NY location. It was a wonderful place to work. For my fellow Baby Boomers you know what a Telex Machine was. As for you young folks ~~ Google it!! LOL!!

If a distant uncle dies and you were always his favorite and leaves you $50,000 (any currency) in his will, what would you do?

Pay off as many bills as possible and take a vacation somewhere in the Caribbean with my brother Stephen.

Where do you hide junk when people come over?

I don’t get many visitors but when I do they all stay downstairs in the Living Room which is much neater than my bedroom as you can see!! LOL!! 🙂 😀

Complete this sentence: I want to learn more about …

Photography and learn to speak better Spanish.

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

Grateful that I got to say Farewell to my co-worker from the Cameroon who went on Maternity Leave. Her baby girl Destiny is due at the end of this month. We have become very close over the last few months as she has no family in America. All her relatives are either in the Cameroon or France. Her Mom will be arriving soon.

I was never able to have children and this young woman is like my daughter. Her baby girl Destiny will be my granddaughter of sorts. I’m grateful and thankful for her. A connection to the Motherland. Africa. I’m Thankful to and for many of my African co-workers as I’ve learned so much about the continent of our ancestors over the last eight years. One day I will make my pilgrimage to the soil from whence my fore-bearers sprang.

Looking forward to next weekend for rest and relaxation.

I find my spiritual balance in nature especially during late spring, early summer and Autumn. A Celebration of Natural Symmetry.

Because the Night ~~ The Daily Post

Because the Night

Are you a night owl or are you the early bird? What’s your most productive time of day? When do you do your best work?

I have chronic insomnia so I guess I’m a Night-owl. For a long time I named myself the Midnight Marauder! I have no idea whether my insomnia is due to menopause hormonal changes, job related stress or just plain aging. Many of my co-workers and friends who are in their 50s or 60s report needed less sleep or being unable to sleep through the night so maybe sleeplessness is just a by product of getting older.

I think I’m also part Vampire because I always want to sleep during the day and stay up at night! However thanks to my U.S. Army training I still wake up early which is a good thing. I’m never late for work.

I do my best writing at either dusk or dawn. The period between wake-fullness and sleep provides me the most and best inspiration. As for my photography that is a daytime activity. For safety reasons I usually don’t go walking around the city at night taking photos. However in places that are well policed with lots of people like 34th Street Penn Station or other major hubs then I will whip out my camera.
