Thank you Thursday

March 15, 2012

Monday, on a flight from Chicago to Columbus, I sat next to Elvis. Well, sort of. I sat next to a startling Elvis look-alike, an actor/musician playing the part of Elvis in a musical currently running in Chicago.  He and a few more cast members were on the flight.  The others were sitting in the two [...]

I had another post ready to go today, expressing gratitude that student activism is alive and well.  This was in response to seeing high school students jumping into the election fray to help get a budget issue passed in a local school district.  I really was thankful to see the students get involved. Then, while skimming my morning [...]

Nostalgia.  People just need to get over it.  Move on. Those words were spoken in a meeting today, as someone was reacting to a recent conversation he had with some folks.  It got me thinking about whether or not nostalgia is a good thing or a bad thing. Then, I heard the news.  Davy Jones died. [...]

Sunrise…Sunset. I’ve always loved watching the sun rise and set.  My poor husband has endured (and enjoyed) many early alarms while on vacation at the shore or other beaches so I could take countless photos of the sun rising. We happen to live very near a large reservoir, and the setting sun reflects beautifully in the water.  Even from inside [...]

Every day, I DVR The Ellen Show.  In the evening, I catch up as time allows.  Last night, I watched Monday’s show with guest Jennifer Lopez.  Jennifer was wearing a black skirt with the word L-O-V-E across the front. Ellen commented that it is good for the universe to wear clothes with positive words like that.  She asked [...]

Last weekend my husband and I spent four days with our son, his wife and their 2-1/2 month old baby.  Last time we saw them, the baby was only two weeks old. So much has changed so quickly! Today, I am thankful for the joys found in this time with our grandson. It’s been a long while [...]

My son and his wife adopted a dog last weekend. They are very excited about it! Cute little three month old black puppy, retriever mix. We face-timed Sunday night for a little bit and the dog didn’t bark at all. So far, it seems the dog is very good with the baby, just likes to [...]

As I write this, it’s Wednesday evening, and I’ve been sitting with my fingers poised over my laptop, talking to my husband and watching a recording of today’s Ellen Show.  Until a few moments ago, I was stuck on what to write for this week’s TYT post. It has been a very trying few weeks.  I’ve been [...]

SOPA Stop Online Piracy Act.* I don’t know enough about it, yet. I do know that bloggers are one population that could be seriously impacted. You may have noticed yesterday that many tech websites were either blacked out or carried links to information about SOPA. The photo above is what wordpress.com (hosts this blog) looked [...]

I was ten years old when Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated.  Old enough to remember, young enough to not quite understand all the implications.  Over time, I have certainly come to appreciate Dr. King’s life, service, commitment, and passion for athe rights of all human beings.  The MLK.gov website summarizes his message by [...]
