My World Today


 On October 31st I was out a bit late running errands and enjoying the festive vibe.
While I was out I heard all manner of firecrackers coming from seemingly every direction.


 This impromptu fireworks display was a joy.
I tried to upload a short video without success
(I probably have to upload it to YouTube first)
So instead here is a grainy photo taken with the phone.

I think the vendors who opened for a short time just to sell firecrackers coordinated a fireworks display from 3 different directions.
The particular display closest to where I was was fantastic.

We had a small amount of snow on Saturday but it didn't stay. 
Today is a gorgeous, sunny day but rain is expected soon.

I always enjoy seeing trees all in a row.
Seeing several palm tree in a row is a particular delight.
These trees are in a small park near the Greyhound Bus and Amtrak Train Station.

Seeing all the boats at the marina on a beautiful day makes me smile.

Though I'm enjoying the beauty around me my heart is heavy with concern for a dear elderly lady in Kenya. I call her grandma. She had malaria and a bacterial infection which she overcame but while she was in hospital she contracted a cold. Being very old it is hard for her to fight it and she has been in and out of hospital and is now in ICU.
Prayers appreciated.

Hold fast to your joys dear friends and never take anything for granted.
Today I am grateful for so many things, the beauty all around me, the ability to help others and
loving family and friends.
Today I had a call from my late mom's cousin calling to enquire how I've been doing.
Simple things like this mean a lot.


If you are struggling (health, finances, relationships, other)
 I pray you will overcome your troubles and have the support you need along the way.

Hello November

Enjoy some photos of my recent walk along the beach. 

The way people are dressed and the way the sky looks in some photos it looks as if it was very cold and windy. I guess people dressed for the way the weather normally is at this time of year;  much cooler.

But in fact, it was a beautiful, gorgeous and warm day. 
It was expected to be one of the last warm days before temperature dips and rains begin in earnest.

I only had on a spring coat and a light sweater underneath. It was so warm I took off my outer jacket and walked wearing only my sweater. 














Have a wonderful week!
