Today I forced myself to get out for a brief walk in the park to give my body some much-needed exercise. The scenery did not disappoint! I’ve been writing a fair amount during my quarantining due to Covid-19 in NYC and social distancing, but today I needed a break. I hope the picture I took at my local park makes you happy!

RDP Wednesday: Sunshine
Personally, I think of sunshine emotionally and physically. At this moment, as the situation in NYC becomes more and more tense with the virus (it’s even so slow that I’m able to write this post while at work), I take slight comfort in the fact that it has been sunny in the last couple of days. The air has been tense and distraught recently with the news, and with the sunshine the energy has lifted a bit. People are smiling a little. So here’s to sunshine. May it flourish in all of our hearts in this difficult time around the world.

RDP Movie
Just like a movie,
Life characters come and go.
Bringing something new to the story.
A turn, an event,
Something unexpected,
Something you never knew.
Something you never imagined,
Something you never dreamed.
Some leave an imprint on your heart.
Some make your belly ache with laughter.
Some do not.
Some stay.
Some go.
Regardless, everyone keeps moving.
Regardless, life keeps changing.
Regardless, you decide what kind of movie
You want your life to be.
You’re the set designer.
You’re the actor.
You’re the director.
What will you let go?
What will remain?
What will you create?

RDP Sunday: South Seas, An Ode
Bermuda, Bermuda,
On my mind.
Every day’til the end of time.
Your sand on my skin,
Your sea in my veins.
Your sun in my heart,
Always remains.
Your beautiful sunsets,
Your spirit so kind.
Your beaches are the perfect place
For me to unwind.
Ironically, I’ve only been to Bermuda once (and I know it’s not in the South Seas but I couldn’t stop myself). It left such a deep impression on me that I can’t keep away from it. I’m an outdoors girl, at heart, so I’m at home by the sea and the mountains, too. I can’t wait to go back!
RDP Saturday: Hope
Hope.
Like a candle.
Hope…knows.
Like faith.
Hope…grows.
Like a flame burning bright,
During the darkest of times.
Pardon my odd poem, which is what you could call it, I guess. The second I thought of hope I had this visual of a candle shimmering in the dark and keeping our faith burning bright. Hope
New Beginnings
This ought to be an interesting year. Why? Because we are in 2020…and that reminds me of hindsight being 20/20 vision. Maybe this time we’ll each get it right the first time. There’ll be no need look to the past to correct errors, because maybe this will be our lucky 20/20 not-much-in-hindsight but rather present year. And also, a little tip for 2020: make sure to write out 2020 in full your important documents/checks. It could turn ugly if the wrong person gets a hold of important documents and decides to add a 1 or a higher digit it could create a lot of trouble for you. With that, let’s raise a glass to 2020! Cheers and have a fantastic year! I can’t wait to see what it brings for all of us. New Beginnings
