I live in a Sanctuary State and Sanctuary City. Governor J. B. Pritzker let Trump & cohorts know, to get to us, they will have to go through him. My kind of warrior lawmaker.
[…] I will let the flow of time write and draw the unfolding of the days with the ink that drips from other eyes, from other hands. ~ “Portraits” (my old scribbles)
Alex, this is a refreshing and clever idea! For me, it’s the perfect way to NOT pay attention to the current awful news (via papers, newscasts and “breaking news” posts that make their way onto my phone all day). I am going to try to come out if my funk by posting pictures from this
past year‼️👍 Last week was tough, but now that I’m on a self-imposed “news blackout”, it’ll be fun for me to browse through my 7,000 photos (that’s not an exaggeration)!
Hi Anne, looking forward to see them. I fear that somewhere in the project, around the literary darkest day of the year, I have to mention the darkest day of the year in this project. But posts will be hopeful until about 21 December. Let’s just pretend November 5 wasn’t on this year’s calendar.
Oddly enough, the darkest and shortest day of the year has always been my favorite day‼️ I like “being cozy” with Cadbury curled up on the couch in the darkness of winter. 🥶 (Maybe it’s because I’m a November baby…) I’m sure you’ll not get another reply like this one. And, yes, let’s just toss out 05 November from this year👍
I can live with 364 days for this year. So this time it’s not the stolen election but the stolen election day. I love all seasons, it’s one of the attractions of living in Scandinavia because they are so extreme there.
To live happily, do you have to live in Northern Europe?
Perhaps it is because of this famous work-life balance that is favored?
Or nature (in its pure state) protected and so close to the inhabitants...
Or be able to fully enjoy the rhythm of truly different seasons…
Having often been to Sweden during a (former) period of my professional life, and in all seasons, I really appreciated this rhythm of life in harmony with nature. ...😍
(and I also learned to stop complaining about the cold 🥶☃️😉...: valuable lesson, for me as a Parisian!)

Well said, Alex!! 👌💯
There are so many overwhelming subjects, at all hours of the day and night... that can permanently disturb our thoughts, our lives and turn us away from our own personal paths, so essential to our balance.
You’re right, life is short!
Remaining lucid on the World, on its road that advances like a «rode roller » is certainly very important!
But taking advantage of the beautiful things (small or big) that surround us on a daily basis, engraving them in our memory as landmarks, training us to remain « positive »... allows us, I think, to pursue our own path as serenely as possible, keeping our hopes and deep convictions.
Thank you for all your sharings, these precious moments of exchange and your generosity! 🙋♀️🕊️
Such a good idea and something I would prefer to see than today’s depressing news glut.
Thanks for this.
What a great idea! And fun!

Going to chat 😊
Creative connection! Moments with identity.

Thank you, Danièle
Ambitious undertaking. Looking forward to it.
Love the Paris pictures as I can now say "I've been there".
