In spite of the fact that I am a senior citizen, I still consider myself a child at heart. So why is it that before I go to a fireworks display for a holiday, I pause and do the “old woman routine:” check the weather for temperature, rain, lightening, and think of all the things … More What Is It About Fireworks and Our Flag?
I pride myself on my love of nature and self-taught knowledge of nature and animals. My parents sought to give my siblings and I many rich, educational, wonderful adventures as we traveled to Mexico, the World’s Fair, Expo 67, in Montreal, the mountains, beaches, zoos, and camping in our travel trailer, and later a mobile … More I Tried!!
I love to capture people’s facial expressions with my camera. One photo I took over 10 years ago always makes me smile. The “subject” was a young woman preparing to dance in a group of other women during the Hindu festival, Diwali, (or Festival of Lights) at a large park near me. Already, several groups … More Beauty and Grace
1. I try to live each day to the fullest. Granted everyone needs a day off from “doing” things. Everyone needs a day to unwind, relax and turn the stress off. Slowing down and using all of your senses enables us to enjoy whatever beauty there is to enjoy more fully. 2. Keep a … More Just Do IT!
How can we foster bliss-filled peaceful minds instead of blitzed out minds? We are bombarded constantly with emotional, visual and auditory “static.” Where, or more appropriately, how can we find or make some calmness, peace and quiet in our lives? How can we motivate ourselves to practice what we know are the healthiest behaviors to … More Blissful or Blitzed, Choose Mindfully
As an older woman with a child’s heart (not the transplanted kind!) I still love to look back on my childhood and remember so many memories of good times with my family. In my earliest years 0 to 4 years old, I lived with my parents at 601 Arlington Avenue, Greenville, South Carolina, where there … More Memories from My Childhood
When I go to my home state, South Carolina, in peach season, I always bring back some peaches for friends and neighbors. The following happened years ago and gave me a nickname from one of my first son’s friends. I had just returned from a trip to my hometown. Following my tradition, I brought back … More Peachy Hospitality
Well, it seems I am on a roll of strange events. I signed up for a seminar the other night at 7 PM on Zoom. I had the Zoom class number and pass code on my Google Chrome Notebook. So I opened Zoom and entered the needed details. There was no evidence of anything. It … More I Heard Voices
I shared a portion of a letter I wrote to my parents on their 50th wedding anniversary in 2000. Each parent had a part of the letter. My mother’s part was posted on Mother’s Day. Today would have been Daddy’s birthday; so I posted this for Father’s Day. My father died from Dementia and a … More https://www.joyful2beeblogs.com/2025/06/15/missing-you-daddy/
Hi, I am Norie, a pantherette. We pantherettes are solitary intelligent animals. Although, when shown the luxuries of living with a human, some of us agree to live with them. I wouldn’t be so smart if I turned down free food, a place of privacy to take care of my body processes and the the … More My Life as a Little Panther
