On my walk to work and when I return home, I pass a very special shop named "Himalayan Crafts".
The door is usually open and the scent of incense entices your mind to pause and breathe deep.
I stop and gaze into the window front and in my mind I ask the Buddhas for blessings and help in keeping a peaceful and happy mind...
The shop is located between 68th and 69th Street on Broadway... The lovely couple who work there are a delight. Please visit them.
Those are my tire tracks... last one home on the block. A steady downfall of snow through the drive home with wet roads. Sticking snow when I got on the Meadowbrook Parkway. OK, lets see if the weather mongers get it right and how close to 18" of accumulation we get in Freeport.
John, Chris, and I met up at Times Square the day before New Year's Eve. We were locals acting like tourists. BTW, Times Square was packed and full of New Year's Eve 2009 ambiance.
Last Thursday I flew down to Florida to be with my Dad due to his unexpected emergency heart bypass surgery. Dad wasn't keeping me informed about what was going on with his health...didn't want to worry me. Thanks Dad. Ugh! So far, so good, Dad is recovering well and is expected to be out of ICU tonight. I snapped the pic attached as I was walking into the hospital Saturday. Guess someone was telling me to have a nice day.
