Hope

Hello everybody!  I hope you guys are well.  Today is Election Day in the USA and my vote has been counted, now I’m crossing my fingers in hopes that my pick wins.

Unfortunately, a Nor’easter is heading to places still reeling after Hurricane Sandy.  I wish I knew how to help or what to say, but I haven’t a clue.  I’ve never experienced losing someone close to me, though I’ve come very close.  I’ve never lost all of my possessions, so I can’t say that I know what it’s like.  I just feel generally heartbroken that people have to go through this.  I just hope communities that were hard hit are able to band together and help one another.  I hope officials are able to help all of those in need.  I hope people DON’T GIVE UP.  I hope donations of all kind keep piling in.  I hope with time everything can heal and communities can build back up.  All I can do right now is hope.

Stay alert, stay alive.

Until next time…

Loving this!

After dropping off my daughter at school this morning, I took a picture of this sidewalk bicycle parking rack.  They’re new around my neighborhood.  The design is simple and I absolutely love them, especially the NYC emblem in the middle.  Once I got home, I looked them up and found out that they’re called CityRacks.  They were placed to encourage cycling for commuting.  If you would like to read more about them go to  http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/bicyclists/bikerack.shtml

Take good care!  Until next time…
