NYC ~ This Morning

 

I had an early morning meeting and then went to a diner, 

thank God there still are a few, 

for a second breakfast.

What was really interesting, however, was watching people walk on the street.

I remember one lady, older, with a younger one next to her,

probably a mother and daughter,

very similar clothes, linen I think,

gorgous long skirts, brown, cream tops,

beatifully done hair,

they just *looked* expensive, if that makes sense!

I certainly did not look that... I took a picture of myself in a large window...

sneakers, legs that looked small and somewhat stubby between my half way past my kneews

but cute pink skirt,wrinkled, 

with my lace tank top and black shrug that does not fall in a way that

I wish it would, but is still good... and my new hat, pink and black... 

and pink headphones, no I just looked a bit eccentric and hopefully

like I enjoy living, which I do, no matter how hard things can be. 

***

That poor church, so run down, it must have been so beautiful. 

Can you imagine restoring such a church, a dream, but not my calling

so I just take pictures...

***

The ad for the dog in a cute hero outfit was darling I thought. 

It's interesting but kind of sad how stores are now adversisting for pets

like they used to for cute kids of young parents. 

***

I had a cute outfit on but as it was a rainy day,

I had my blue sneakers on instead of nice shoes or sandals. 

***

A woman at Michaels was fully of Joy as she had her things rung through.

She was buying a canvas to paint on, and put it in a bag that was thick

and I think was a repurposed black garbage bag.

She was beautiful,

middle aged somewhere, beautiful braids, 

clothes with a stylish more African look,

the type that is mature looking, as in refined,

beautiful.

I felt like she is an artist, probably not rich but has known 

suffering. Most artists have.

***

I bought fabric tape to fix a shirt that has a small hole in it.

I walked over 3 miles today!

***

Tomorrow I hope to take it easy,

as I have been very busy the first half of this week!

I did a laundry room purge/overhaul,

I am really pleased about it.

***

Life is very full.

But it's nice to quickly write here.

May God bless, save and help us in all things.
