Living in the City

Could it be true that other than this innocent looking vapor trails from  a passing jet,  some form of  chemical/s are released from the sky by not so well-meaning people? And for what use? I shudder at the thought and the possibilities.. My grand children were observing these vapor trails slowly dissipate in the sky one sunny and windy afternoon..

Yoya Look Moon Yoya (Lola) look.. moon.. Little words from my small grandchild. I wonder does she think it's a dot in the sky? Or something that one can touch given a very tall ladder? Someday she will learn that man was supposed to have reached and landed on the moon just about  the time her Lola  started her freshman studies in college.. i am sure to her, that would seem a long, long time ago.

Moonshine look Lola! Is that a dot or a plate I wonda'? Aya  my dear, It's the moon, is that clear? It's not twinkle, twinkle little star But shine shine moon There you are Aya is singing as if in a croon.

Think and Stay Young Living in the metropolis requires a hearty life because the city is so energized by both good and bad vibes. It is really up to us to live our lives with equanimity to reduce the everyday stress. I grabbed this somewhere as some kind of tips or suggestions to retain or at least reduce the effects of aging: Try everything twice. On one woman's tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph: "Tried everything twice. Loved it both times!" Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!) Keep learning. Learn more about  computers, gadgets if you will;  crafts, gardening, whatever.. Never let the brain get idle. 'An idle mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's! Enjoy the simple things. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath. And if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with HIM/HER. ...

Life will drastically change for me this year. And I am praying that the Lord our God and all the positive energy of His Universe will help anchor me during the change,
