Our word for today is “crowds.” It’s from an article I was reading about the crowds of tourists practically destroying the treasures they have come to see. I have said before, there are too many people in this world. That being said, I still find it eerie to be alone in a deserted area. We […]
Our word for today is “cookie.” I love the baked kind. I can’t remember my mother or my grandmother actually baking cookies. However, my grandmother, always had cookies in her cookie jar, which was shaped like a rather rotund woman – go figure (or not as the case maybe 🙂 I will eat peanut butter
Our word for today is “water.” It’s my word, no doubt influenced by the fact that we are just back from Prince Edward County, which is surrounded by Lake Ontario. Being in the city most of the time, I forget how lovely it is to see the water, especially a large expanse of water, like

Our word for today is “gracious.” I have to say it is the perfect word for today, because the cosmos, in her graciousness, gave me a perfectly gracious day!! It started out with a large order for TrueFelt sheets. Not only did it sort out my overstock, it restored my faith that something I really
Our word for today is “together.” It’s a lovely word and a lovely concept. I love “get-to-gethers.” In fact I’m going to one in September. I get together with friends I went to elementary school with. There are ten of us. It’s quite the gathering. We used to celebrate all the significant birthdays of that
Our word for today is natural…. It’s overused to be sure, but it is still one of those words that creates so many positive feelings, when I hear it. I have to work at being cynical when I read a label that says “natural flavourings,” which probably means chemical additives, that taste like the real
Our word for today is curious. What could be more curious than the works of Lewis Carroll – Alice in Wonderland is probably the most recognizable and perhaps the most creative of his works. He is, to me, one of the most curious and creative of artists. Creativity, I think, is born of curiosity. People,
