I have lived in the Tampa Bay area for almost 12 yrs now. My neighborhood has wild peacocks that I enjoy daily! Like others have said- the seasonal weather is wonderful. I was born and raised in the Philadelphia area and do not miss the snow, black ice and freezing cold at all. I do feel blessed having lived in both areas that bring rituals and culture to life for me.
Happy Memorial Day everyone. Thank you to the men and women who sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

Letting go and holding on to hope border a very fine line.

The Timoney Monday Nighter’s Irish dance group that I am part of. I danced with this group for 11 yrs. These people are so wonderful, caring, compassionate, funny group of characters that I know. Even though I moved to Florida almost 12 yrs ago, I am still a part of this family. We have daily emails – updates/prayers/funnies. I am so grateful to have them in my life.

It would be the first time I kissed a girl. Life changing:)

patience.

Time is so strange…. at times it feels forever (I am 51 and all I want to do is hurry through so I can retire and not work anymore) and other times time does fly by. Now that I’m older time really doesn’t seem like an abundance. Hard question.

Thinking of others and not oneself happens shifting from me to we.

My kitties – just fed them. I participated in a zoom meeting yesterday afternoon with my dad’s side of the family and then another one with my kids.

It could be anyone … people put on false pretenses … you might have thought you’ve ‘known’ them for 6 yrs only to find out that wasn’t the ‘true’ them …. I also thought like Kevin regarding certain political figures as well.

Music. I can listen to music and it goes straight to my soul. Nature has this effect too.

My strength comes from inner strength, nature, and this website.

I am going to attempt to go back to work since being out sick. I have a lot of anxiety, still not feeling 100% but I have never been out for so long before. Courage. Gratefulness.

This is hard for me to answer. I think I’m still hoping for serendipity to happen for my future love. I love reading others experiences. It makes me smile.

Not knowing my calling.

beautiful response:)

Good luck to you! You will find that inner strength:)

So sorry for you loss. You will think of him every time you see a rainbow. 🙂

Thanks Mica:)

I’m an advocate for medical marijuana. My anxiety is mostly because I had been out of work for 2 wks now. I am now returning on Monday. Thank you for your kindness and compassion. hugs.

Thank you …. as it turns out, I have a great manager and she told me to just rest and return on Monday:) I am so blessed and grateful. I work with great people and have the best manager.
