I don't have a boyfriend. But who needs heartbreak?

Men have broken my heart, over and over again. The same old pattern. Hmm... you can understand why I'm hesitant to date again.  

Turn up the stereo. Post Malone is on the radio!

Sing along optional: 

I knew for a night, girl, I'd be drinkin' 'bout you
But it's years gone by and I'm still dreamin' 'bout you
Cross my heart 'til I die
I swear to God, I woulda never done what I did
If I knew that I'd be missin' you like this

It's about time

As I sit here, listening to Barbra Streisand's Christmas album, I'm thinking that it's time I start decorating for Christmas. After all, I have to start my Christmas baking soon... Nova Scotia gingerbread is on my baking list!

Music Monday (on Tuesday)

 Ed Sheeran "Photograph"

Sing along optional:

When I'm away
I will remember how you kissed me
Under the lamppost
Back on 6th street
Hearing you whisper through the phone
"Wait for me to come home"

For your information

I'm 

back 

from

Music Monday

I'm still sick. But music is a blessing. I've been listening to this song a lot over the past week. I dedicate this song to my future boyfriend... whoever he is... wherever he is tonight. 

Thomas Rhett "Blessed"

Sing along optional:

Making my heart beat out my chest
I can't count the times I've heard
People say I'm lucky
But lucky ain't the word, oh, I'm blessed

Update

My throat is still sore. My nose is stuffy. I'm up most the night. But I'm alive. 

When I'm sick, I reflect a lot. 

I realized that in the past two years -- I've been heartbroken and had Covid twice. Please, if there is a God, let me have a little happiness before I die.

Oh no, I'm sick. (I have Covid, again)

I woke up this morning with a really sore throat. If I talk more than 2 minutes, my throat burns for hours. You know how much I love to talk! Oh no, this sore throat is silencing me!  

I'm in so much pain.

Music Monday

Every year, I acknowledge Remembrance Day. It doesn't matter where I am or what I am doing. Every November 11th, I stop at 11 am and give thanks. 

War is a dirty word. It is connected to human suffering and sacrifice. Today I acknowledge the many families that have been torn apart due to war. I also recognize that my freedom is the result of many, sacrificing their lives to protect Canada.  

Thank you. May we always remember. 

Vera Lynn "Travellin' Home"

Sing along optional: 

Traveling home, traveling home
I'm like a stone that's been rolling too long
Winds that have blown me on my way
Blow me right back to harbour

Dose of cuteness

When the world seems dark, find pockets of cuteness.

Spend the day with me! (November 24th)

Jingle bells, jingle bells... Too soon?

I'm trying to organize a fun outing. The Toronto Santa Claus Parade is on November 24th. Would you like to go? Let me know!

This week's challenge

You often hear people say: "What's wrong?" I know I'm guilty of asking this question.

This week, the challenge is to flip this thinking. Instead of asking, "What's wrong?" try asking "What's right?"

Election Night (Party)

I have my party snack ready! Greek yogurt topped with walnuts, fresh pineapple, and apricot chunks.  

Catfishing

Being single, I want to form an emotional bond with someone. But how do I learn to trust? And where do I meet other single people? 

It's hard to meet 'real, genuine people' - online or in-person. Recently, I stumbled on an interesting read. Anna Akbari exposes the issue of catfishing and manipulation in her book, There is No Ethan.
