Best Story of the Week…November 19th
As we run up the Met’s steps, I turn and see my favorite racehorse, happily making a sale.

Susannah, I’m so glad another of your knights in shining armor has come to your rescue. You are cared about by the many whose lives you have touched with your thoughtfulness and kindness.

There is no doubt in my mind that karma is real. When you give simply to give without thought of payback, it does come back tenfold. When one gives expecting a receipt, one might because of good manners but it ain’t gonna come galloping across the street like a knight in shining armour. And I had to smile at the Chiclets reference as Mick used to call one of our fellow karatekas that.

re Met. You now have to make a reservation online..stand in one, while they take your temperature before you can enter. It was wild…however, when we saw Monet’s water lilies, and those Degas ballerinas, all was forgotten.

I used to sit in front of the water lilies and take it all in. Do they still have a bench there or is it a COVID victim?

Good things do happen when you do good things. That kind of cycle is going on everywhere, and it’s good to know. All politics being local, it’s comforting to know that love and compassion and hope and faith . . yanno . . the good stuff? It’s everywhere. Still.

I do believe in cause and affect, since it proves itself repeatedly. I only wish when I share a tale it wasn’t such a surprise. I wish others would learn the value of forgetting about themselves and their trials for a while doing a modest act for another. Doesn’t need to be grand or expensive. It’s the best medicine for recapturing one’s peace of mind, that as I’ve gotten older have realized, without it, you truly have nothing Mr. Imma.

Nice guy. I’m glad he got a sale too. He has the salesman’s eye for a sudden spike in demand. My favorite umbrella got wrecked by the wind recently. It was a cheap thing but was a souvenir from when I went to Brunei, so had sentimental value. But both here and in Iowa, umbrellas don’t seem to last long.
