Tuesday November 10, 2020

 


Enjoyed some yoga this evening while bumping Pandora's "Early 2000's R&B". I'd highly recommend doing the same after a productive Tuesday.

Pulled from the oracle deck this evening and lo' and behold, another subliminal thing on my mind:

RAINDROPS.

Take a chance on them.

I've accumulated a friend in my current boss, but as I've mentioned before she's transferring to a different facility. 

So my raindrops are my insecurities that I harbor when it comes to taking her position.

Director of Activities in a nursing facility during COVID 2020.

Can't be that challenging, right?

It actually isn't.

I've worked as an Activity leader and Assistant to the Director all during the last two years. I've even stepped in to the Director position for at least 1 month and a couple weeks in order to keep the department running when COVID hit those I worked closely with.

So, why can't I seem to muster up enough courage to dance in this rain shower that's coming my way?

I should be dancing in this rain! Spending time with my residents and being able to plan events for the upcoming month--one that holds my favorite holiday throughout the year?

What's holding me back?

Probably a number of things that I want to avoid.

So, this card has me thinking this evening--

a lot on my mind, surely.

My biggest thought, that Grammy would want me to give 110% to these people who need the holiday spirit the most at this point.

And I'd be happy--or my best attempt at it--to oblige!

Wish me luck!

We need to read AND write

So I went to Barnes & Noble the other night (needed some retail therapy) and ended up wandering aimlessly around the aisles for over an hour. I must have hit every section before I made my way over to the children’s corner. Not sure if I was feeling nostalgic or just curious as to what the youth of today was starting out to read. As I scoured shelves looking for old time Nancy Drew or Where the Sidewalk Ends , I heard this couple enter the area and couldn’t help but overhear their conversation.             “I just want to look for a book for her, just one. Can ya’ give me a minute?” The woman sounded exasperated, almost as if she couldn’t comprehend why her companion wasn’t understanding the need to look for the perfect book . It was his response that caught me, even though I shouldn’t have been so stung.             “You do realize kids today don’t read, right? What’...

The Express Review

A known crime fiction novel by millions, Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express  is not only intriguing, but initially a thrilling ride that keeps readers in tune and guessing up until the very last page (no pun intended on the "thrilling ride" comment). With the infamous protagonist Hercule Poirot taking charge on leading the investigation, the entire plot was based around a single man being murdered by a suspect (or suspects) on a train traveling throughout Europe. It was interesting being introduced to Hercule Poirot for the first time reading this, considering I've never read any Agatha Christie crime novels before. I find the steps that Poirot takes when solving a crime very strategical and can be recognized as a specific method used initially by him and him alone. This novel is structured into 3 parts: The Facts, The Evidence, and Hercule Poirot Sits Back and Thinks. I feel a majority of people are intimidated by the intellect a detective can hold when s...
