All The Best

For an opinionated woman such as I, blogging is an excellent outlet. This is one of many fori that I use to bloviate. Enjoy! Comment on my commentary.

Plugged in

How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?

If I knew when the time to unplug was ripe, I don’t think I would have been checking for prompts at 12 am

That said, my timing has improved over time. And I write for the sake of my best mental health.

BFFs

What quality do you value most in a friend?

Friends are a truly precious commodity.

They are our connection.

They form our community.

What do I expect from my friends when they already give so much?

Loyalty. Helpfulness. Friendship. Confidence. Sharing. Laughter. Support. Comfort.

Work work work

What jobs have you had?

Lots.

I would posit that a job is a good thing.

Apropos

Religion is a balm for many. Atheists’ faith is in the here-and-now, not the hereafter.

Steve Martin has given us a little anthem. Listen to it for yourself.

God search

Do you practice religion?

No. I put all my faith in atheism. And am grateful for all good things and kind people.

Googling

Do you remember life before the internet?

Do you mean when we had to write a letter rather than send an email? Or remember the name of that actor from Mash without looking on a tablet or phone?

It’s a blur, which is strange because I am old enough to go back to that half century ago before Desk Set.

My CV

What are you good at?

Modesty forbids that I brag.

I am old enough to provide some self-assessment, however.

For years I labored at this and at that. Most often, in a serendipitous career, I was successful.

But when asked so directly where my talent lies, I have to answer I am good at my passion.

Writing my thoughts, opinions and ideas for you.

What you see is…

What you’ve got!

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

Whatever it is that I have, it’s having it all.

There is a lot to be said for being content.

Those we miss

There’s the phone.

Who would you like to talk to soon?

There’s a goodly number of people with whom I have lost touch. I miss them. It would be great getting a moment to talk.

A memento

What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

This horse rocked every race! His presence on our window sill is a sweet reminder of one of the great times we shared.

My husband bought him as a souvenir for me of a wonderful weekend.

Neither of us had been to Saratoga before. It was a standout trip!
