Thingadailies: "Love after Love"

  LOVE AFTER LOVE by Derek Walcott The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror.

  Just like that, with still rising COVID numbers and deaths, masking and Vax passports are cast aside. This government, ugh.

Thingadailies: Baking classes

 N was given a gift of baking classes. Since she is now schooling online, this is a nice way to get out of the house, try to learn new things, and meet new people. I am grateful for those who thought of her so lovingly.

Thingadailies: A new bloom

  A new bud is blooming today!! My sister in law is being induced today!  I am soooo excited for their little family 💕  #metaphorsoflife   ------ Also, this is like the 4th time this orchid has bloomed for me  and anyone who knows me, knows how black my thumb is. This is a miracle!! ------ The 5th day is regarded as the  birthday  of the God of Wealth and hence respect is payed to the god. Also, it is considered not too wise to leave the house for too long, just in case the God of Wealth should pay a visit to the family's house.

Thingadailies: Better, not worse

  The fourth day is basically a continuity of the third day, with a cautious avoidance of evil spirits. Today was so unlike yesterday, and yesterday, so unlike any other day I have experienced so far. So a day of just literally laying low and doing nothing but reading and journaling was good.
