I finally figured out how to access my blog again. If you are logged in to Google, it uses your Google domain email (gmail) to try to log you in, but I never used that email to create this blog. I'm glad to be able to get back in here by a circuitous route.

It certainly is interesting times. I wish I had had this blog going again in February, when things went from being on a cruise in the Caribbean at the end of February to working from home and "safer at home" in mid-March.

So much more has happened -- I don't need to summarize for you if you have been following the news. 

I'm not sure the direction I'm going to take this blog. I think I will go back to writing 10 things I am grateful for and essays on fortune cookie sayings. Any thoughts?

Catching Up -- Wow, it's been two years!

This is my latest adventure, cruising aboard the Regal Princess in the Caribbean. So my top 10 this post:

1. Cruise on board the Regal Princess
2. Princess Cays, Eleuthera, Bahamas
3. St. Thomas and St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands
4. The hike and beautiful little beach on St. John, where I would like to swim more
5. St. Maarten
6. Gelato in St. Maarten
7. Peanut butter for breakfast on the ship!
8. As much coffee as I wanted!
9. Sun-bathing on deck.
10. Reading with my husband in the Princess Live! Café lounge -- they had great wing-back chairs.

10 Things - 18 March 2017

I'm grateful for ...
1. My office.
2. Sunshine in my office.
3. The goofy dog whose picture just popped up on the screen in my office.
4. The flowers in my office.
5. The ficus tree in my office.
6. The fact that the tree made it through nearly dying in my small, cold apartment, to the large plant it is today. When I brought it to work in 2008, it just "blossomed."
7. Jasper even though he is barking right now.
8. Of course, Bear. Of course, always.
9. Family.
10. Friends.
