Posted on June 27, 2019 by

Lately my Perfect Moments seem a little out of whack. They are still Perfect, but they seem to be a little different than usual.  Today is no exception. I had had a decent bus ride. It wasn’t great, but the … Continue reading →

Posted on April 18, 2019 by

Today’s Perfect Moment was seeing the sunrise just begin as I walked to the bus stop. It had been a long winter and this was the first day that I boarded the bus with a small amount of sunlight.  Could … Continue reading →

When the Bus Door Opens to Random

Posted on April 12, 2019 by

I shouldn’t have been going to work, but I was. I had volunteered to substitute teach for one of my colleagues.  I am not sure whether I volunteered out of friendship or the desire to make a few extra dollars, … Continue reading →

Of Masks and Men

Posted on January 22, 2019 by

A Bouquet

Posted on October 30, 2018 by

I can’t recall the last time I saw someone taking flowers to someone. It probably isn’t rare, but I just never see it.  I know there is a flower shop or flower corner at the grocery store, but I have … Continue reading →

Drama on the Viva

Posted on January 31, 2017 by
