Here’s something to ponder about life. Whose reality is actually real? Is my reality your reality? Who sets the barometer for anyone’s reality? While standing in the pond of life, I thought about this for a very long time.

It’s a Crazy Ride
The question, “How did I get here and where am I going?” is always a present thought. Is this random, chance, or prescribed? Is my tale already set in stone and I’m simply following along a controlled path? Does someone or something have the game controls of my life? I wonder?
Meeting people along life’s highway is also questionable. If I went to a different school, I would have not met Gloria, Beverly or Alissa. If I lived in a different place, I might not have met my life partner. Then our creations of people would not have occurred. Or would it? So many questions require solutions.
How much is already predetermined or prescribed or chance?

Here’s Looking at You Kid
I think I’ve become my dear Auntie Bella: Thick glasses, over bundled winter wear, sensible boots, carrying a shopping bag, hat hair, and always with lipstick on her teeth. I’m really serious!

Recipe of Life
Truth be told, I don’t follow a recipe very well. Perhaps it’s my need to improvise all the time? Maybe it’s the methodical time involved in carefully following the steps? Maybe I just can’t “FOLD IN THE CHEESE?” Although, this week my son said, “Ma! You made a fantastic, the best ever Mac N’Cheese.” So, perhaps I do know how to “Fold in the Cheese?”

Instinctively Spring – And lessons in reading the world
Forget the calendar. Seriously, it gives you a false sense of seasonal security. The calendar is an excellent tool for organizing your time, days, events, and years. However, I find it’s not an accurate tool for understanding the changing seasons.
The calendar states this year of 2023, in the northern hemisphere, spring will start on March 20 and end on June 21. In my world, spring begins in February. At this time, I can clearly state, on February 6, 2023, spring began in Montreal, Canada. Remember, this is in my world.

Anti-Bucket List Gal
And… Where did the term bucket list come from? Perhaps it originated from the 2007 Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman film “Bucket List” in which, two terminally ill men escape from a cancer ward and head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they die. Perhaps the term originated before the film?
Regardless of the origin, the term “bucket list” a thing people like to complete within their life time.
I sort of break down the bucket list concept into much smaller parts. I woke up today and I’m just grateful for that. My bucket list is done!

A Beautiful Difference
Many, many, many moons ago, I went to West Hill High School. My years were 1976 to 1980. The school was not a good fit for me. It was way too big. And…
The halls had a horrible sweaty human, bio-clinical iodine odor to it. I think the pool water was used to wash the halls. The only thing which kept me going back each day, were my friends. Actually, there was an excellent geography and art teacher, who inspired me.
