Birthday celebrations with my mother-in-law. We ate in Hunters Restaurant in Brooklyn. They make a delicious pasta primavera.

Birthday shenanigans. (Not mine.)

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours.

As Thanksgiving Day rolls around again, I take stock of my life and I’d like to say, That every experience I have ever had, Has helped shape who I am today. Life is a balance of highs and lows. I have had more happy times than sad, But those sad times have helped me grow. So, I’ll take the good from the bad, That’s something I am Thankful for. Although it may be hard to see at the time, even bad moments have lessons built in, While the hardships allow my soul to grow; When life is good, I’ll take the win. I can put food on the table. And I have a place to lay my head. I have a roof to give me shelter, Nothing more needs to be said. That’s something I am Thankful for. I’m Thankful for memories of loved ones I have lost, I think about them every day. And although they are no longer physically here, They let me know they’re still around in some small way. I’m Thankful for friends who are still in my life, For the fun and love they bring to each day. For as long as I have people who love me, I am more blessed than I can ever say. That’s something I am Thankful for. Many years ago, I hopped across the Pond, And I’m Thankful I had the courage to change my life. Through all the ups and downs, I am Thankful for my loving wife. We have been on a rollercoaster ride, And the years are going by in a blast, But, together, we can take on the world Because through it all our love has remained steadfast, That’s something I am Thankful for. So, as Thanksgiving Day dawns, Let loved ones know that you care, Enjoy the day, the food and the fun; Look forward to all the joy you still have to share. It’s easy to lose track of what matters most, As you deal with all the stress and all the strife; Take a moment to remind yourself, Of all the good that’s in your life. It’s something to be Thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate it.

The Christmas tree is up! I love this time of year! 😁

There is a city that is calling to me. But right now, it’s as far as far can be. I will go there one day, of that I am sure, But it will probably take a year or more. I’m coming to you, Paris. I don’t know what it is about that city, fair. I just know that I really need to go there. Maybe it’s because it’s called the City of Love, Maybe this dream was sent from Above. I’m coming to you, Paris. I want to take a boat trip on the river Seine. Why I need to do this, I just can’t explain. It’s just something that’s deep in my heart. Maybe my first trip will just be a start. I’m coming to you, Paris. I want to take a stroll down the Champs-Elysees Stopping at cafes along the way. Eating un croissant et drinking un cafe A French life, that’s the way to be. I’m coming to you, Paris. I want to take a ride up the Eiffel tower. This city simply has me in its power. Why does this city call to me so? I just know one day I will answer the call and go. I’m coming to you, Paris. Life is better when you have a dream. Something that stops you running out of steam. When life gets too much, with so many bills to pay, It’s good to have something to aim for, one day. I’m coming to you, Paris.

When you work hard, I know that you’ll find, That so long as you really don’t mind, Holding your feet to the grind, Your efforts will reflect back to you. A few years ago, I needed to lose weight, Because my health really wasn’t great, And when I looked in the mirror, I would hate What was reflected back to me. I came to realize it was all up to me, And that’s the only way it could be, If I ever seriously wanted to see My true self reflecting back at me. So I decided to get off my idle butt, And find a way to dig out of my rut, I wanted to do something about my gut, So my body would reflect my life. I started to walk, then to run, Which in the beginning wasn’t fun, Especially in the hot summer sun, And my results started to reflect my hard work. I remember as I was running one day, I looked at the ground along the way, And I thought to myself; there’s no way, That’s my skinny shadow reflecting back to me. Now, as I look back at what I’ve done, And the hard-earned victories I have won, My real effort has only just begun To reflect what I truly stand for. And I want to say it would be truly great, If I could use my experiences to motivate People who need help and get them to a state That reflects who they want to be. So if you’re looking for an encouraging sign, That everything is going to be fine, And if you’re willing to commit to the grind, Maybe my message reflects what you need to do.

I was not ready to lose you. But you were taken from me, anyway. Suddenly. On a sunny day that started so normally. Without any sign of the emotional pain to come. Abruptly. Life’s like that, I guess. It shouldn’t be that way. It just is. Unfair. Losing a loved one is always hard. Losing a father at a tender age is as hard as it gets. Wrenching. I was more than a boy. But, not yet a man. Becoming. You were meant to be my guide through that stage of life. You were supposed to be my mentor as I grew. Transitioning. I had to do a lot of growing up fast in those early years after you passed. I had to be strong for Mum. Maturing. The sad thing is I have more in common with you now than I had then. I share your love for photography and classical music. Passions. Oh, the conversations we could have had. I don’t even know which classical composers you listened to. Wondering. So many things left unsaid. So much potential. Gone. I would have been a different man if you had stayed. In ways that I will never know. Unguessable. I’ve been told I look like you. That gives me much consolation. Comforting. I feel like, in me, there’s a part of you that lives still. I carry on your name. Heritage. The memories may be dimmer as the years roll by too fast. But I will never forget the values you taught me. Integrity. Honesty. Trust. Love. Yours was a selfless love. I never wanted for anything. Cared for. Loved. One day we WILL have those conversations. When I get to Heaven. Future. But I hope that day doesn’t come too soon. Until then, keep watching over me. I hope I make you proud.

Sometimes I look at the night sky in wonder, At the myriad of stars And I can’t help wondering to myself, ‘What’s it like where you are?’ Do you have to deal with the same issues, That plague the human race? Like war, famine and hate. Or do you live in a state of grace? Are we the only beings in the cosmos, To have to deal with all this negativity? Because if everywhere else is rosy, Then it doesn’t seem fair to me. To be stuck on a world so filled with misery. Where life can be so cold and hard If only things could be different, I feel a change is long on the cards. All I can do is set an example Be the change I want to see To lift people when they struggle And fill them with positivity. A revolution starts with just one person To stand up and lead the way You can’t create a better tomorrow If you don’t make a start today. I just need to lift my own vibration, Turn my frown around. Show everyone there’s a better way And turn this world upside down! So this is what I’m trying to do While writing my poetry To make people stop and think And create a better society. Sometimes I look at the night sky and I wonder, Did you go through the same tribulations? Did you all face the same questions I have? And what was your solution? All I can do is my part Show those people around me, That if you want to change the world Then you have to be the change you want to see.

We love our @wegmans! Especially our @veganwegmans section. We love that @daiyafoods is constantly expanding their range. @so_delicious milk is better than dairy milk and @earthbalance butter is better than dairy butter. And Wegman's Don't Be Chicken is fantastic! And now I just discovered that Daiya now have a blue cheese flavored salad dressing! That's next on my must buy list!
