Approaching Election Day, I look forward to simply advocating Americans take their right to vote seriously; that they exercise on or before Election Day. 365 days ago I blogged that Voting Matters. Matters even more this year.

I was observing my own actions this week as well as the people around me how considerate, or inconsiderate, we all are. My unscientific study yielded some interesting results.   I've noticed people not holding the door open, push to go first at the supermarket and speeding up so the driver, who has their blinker on, can't move into their lane. It seems to me that people are just not that considerate as much as they used to be. I held the door open yesterday for a person who was behind me and they didn't even say thank you.  

I am a loyal disciple of Juice Plus which I use every day and believe bolsters my immune system. If that wasn’t enough there are also little inserts in my delivery which I read and are quite fruitful and interesting.

I had to do something. The pain of the massacre lingered. I couldn’t get my head around it. On Tuesday evening, Flo and I attended the memorial vigil at the JCC in Plainview.

My dear friend, associate, business mentor and Gothamite Sonia Saleh often puts the hashtag #seebeautyeverywhere on her social media posts. And she always does see it. It is a great reminder for me.

  Used to be that I would look forward to alone time in the car to crank up the radio and sing at the top of my lungs.    

I realized something about myself this week, I am squeamish. My stepson’s girlfriend recently severely cut her hand, requiring a trip to the hospital and numerous stitches. She was telling my husband and myself about her injury and offered to show pictures of the wound, stitches etc. to both of us.  

The Noreaster caused some concern here going into this weekend. I looked forward to the disposition of many cans of paint that accumulated over several years in the shed, and various closets in my home. Ditto for the remnants of electronic – three laptops and a few external keyboard represented all that remained after taking advantage of various electronic recycling opportunities in Queens.
