Optical Illusion, The Thirtieth Week in the Second Year of the New Abnormal

Optical Illusion, The Thirtieth Week in the Second Year of the New Abnormal I was out for an early walk to beat the heat. Ahead of me I could see a large pile of dog excrement, and my mind went on a rampage. I got angry at the unknown dog…

Window Dressing, Week Forty-Six in the New Abnormal

I have always found great pleasure in walking the city streets. Throughout my 43 years in New York City, I’ve seen a lot. And, yet, I always find something new. This past week I started to notice the ubiquitous iron work on so many buildings and railings. There’s a long…

Bears of Central Park, Week Thirty-Two in the New Abnormal

I entered Central Park at 79th Street. The small, seated area was cordoned off so that Central Park Conservancy workers could clean the sculpture of the bear trio that adorns a circular inlet. I had never seen the careful scrubbing of the artwork and appreciated how diligently they were working…

The Arts, The Forty-Ninth Week of the Second Year in the New Abnormal

I’m watching Barbra Streisand on PBS in her Back to Brooklyn concert. The first time I heard her voice was in 1968 when the movie Funny Girl came out. I was enthralled, though I wouldn’t have known that word as an eight-year-old. Since then I’ve been a fan, attending her…

Ahhh, Naps, The Forty-Eighth Week of the Second Year in the New Abnormal

Napping was my top priority this past week. They were usually twenty to thirty minutes max. They made a tremendous difference in my mood. I was able to get through the week with a greater capacity for patience. …

Spilled Coffee, The Forty-Seventh Week of the Second Year in the New Abnormal

I spilled my coffee earlier this week. And I then let out a loud string of expletives to vocalize my frustration. I cleaned up the mess and then rushed to work. Not the way I had wanted to start my day. My reaction, though provoked, made it clear that I…

Nature Speaks, The Forty-Sixth Week of the Second Year in the New Abnormal

Autumn colors fire up Central Park. I had the good fortune of walking through the park on several occasions this past week. I was reminded that this season represents the last of the foliage as the trees and plants prepare for the winter. Following winter comes a renewal as Spring…

Consciously Unconscious, The Forty-Fifth Week of the Second Year in the New Abnormal

I was taken off guard. I thought I was going through present difficulties consciously. I was meditating. I was practicing gratitude. I was reaching out to friends. And, yet the combination of a dear friend dying while adjusting to Larry, my husband, having a serious injury, along with the horrific…

Daylight Savings Time, The Forty-Fourth Week in the Second Year of the New Abnormal

I voted early yesterday. I like my councilwoman and I wanted to keep her in office. What I don’t get to vote for is the abolishment of daylight savings time. We turned the clocks back last night, and ostensibly we got an extra hour of sleep. Then in April we…
