At The Table In My Sunroom: Thoughts for Others

Thoughts for Others

My assistant's husband had a major heart attack last night. She said that the doctors said that if he had waited a second longer to call 911, he would have died. And, as it is, he had immediate surgery and is not safe yet. He is 45. My thoughts and prayers are with them both.

Hi Jennifer,
What a shock...so young to be smitten. It wakes us up when a friend or acquaintance or even a stranger that we know of gets seriously ill or dies. This week 3 people who fit into those categories passed away, none old.

Enjoy your day, your family, your life moment by moment...
Happy Days

I hope he will be well. My thoughts are with him and his family.

Sadly, it seems men in their 40s and 60s are very prone to heart attacks. My father-in-law was 66, just recently retired, when he died of a massive heart attack that he thought was just indigestion. So tragic.

Thanks for visiting. I love having you at my table with me.

A time has come in my life to reach into another place, to reach into a cobwebbed and stiff part of my brain - the creative part. And then, maybe to take what I find to hold it out to share. You see, I have never been creative (and am still not, you might say); I have experienced the world analytically. I now see there is so much more to the world than that.

This started with an idea to write a photo-journal to myself. In that journal, I would write and take photos of details to CONTEMPLATE the numerous sparkles of life I have around me, and CAPTURE them to last. So here I am, come join me....

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
