Because grief for the loss of our principal cat Oscar is a principal ingredient in my life right now, I have only a few new photos to share today.
Since I caught the coronavirus at a group therapy conference in NYC the first week in March, my husband Michael and I have not been able to find my keys. Apparently, my keys are not a principal ingredient, because I haven’t needed them.
For me, principal ingredients include
- love,
- cats,
- curiosity,
- kind humans,
- group work,
- good food,
- hope,
- humor,
- nature,
- acceptance,
- awareness of the current moment.
- art, and
- music.
Here‘s “Principal Orchestra Virtual Project” with the Norwalk Youth Symphony:
Other principal ingredients are courage, honesty, dignity, decency, and respect, so here‘s Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‘s recent speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives:
Principal ingredients of this blog are your comments and my gratitude.
It’s true Ann, thank you for sharing, have a nice weekend!!!
Thank YOU for sharing. You are a principal ingredient of this blog.
Thank you for being a key ingredient in my life, Ann.
Thank you for the same, my principled prince of a friend.
Your photos are so achingly, yet lovingly, missing Oscar.
The principal ingredient is, you —
You are definitely a principal ingredient of this blog, Maureen, and have been for YEARS.
💜
Ann, I understand how you feel.
There’s one picture which caught my eye- that of the book, regarding God. I actually, wouldn’t say anything, but have a lot of questions. Perhaps because I don’t understand a lot of things. As the nuns taught me in high school, I should always thank Him before asking. , and they’re right.
What is your favorie nature picture that you have published this far.? Have a serene day, Ann
Thank you for your understanding and your discerning eye. I have published so many nature pictures, it would be difficult to choose a favorite, but I definitely appreciate the question. Thanks for making my day more serene.
I asked because I wanted to paint a scenery
There’s one in today’s blog post with the sun setting and flowers in the foreground that might make a nice painting.
Thank you, Ann. I found it. Do you like that better than the sunsets in the pictures below?
Many wonderful ingredients make up your blog 🙂
And one of the wonderful ingredients is you, my friend.
Thank you 🙂
Somehow you always manage to find the one thing that is key to getting by.
Somehow you always manage to find that also, Chris. You are a principal ingredient here at WordPress, helping us all get by.
What a powerful speech by AOC, and what a dignified manner in which to rebuff such abysmal, but sadly common, behaviour.
Thank you for your principled behavior, my friend.
A friend like you is one of the most important ingredients in the recipe of life. Sweet Oscar is your guardian angel now and he lives in your heart forever. Much love and hugs, ♡〜ლ(๑癶ᴗ癶๑)ლ〜♡
Thank you for being my sweet and important friend, NBC.
Always a pleasure, my dear friend.
