  • Subway Token / My Birthday

    Well it is my birthday.    I had a private post waiting to post photographs about my visit to the NYC Transit (subway) museum,  here is what I have written and had on hold:

    A few posts back I blogged about how I had found an "antique" subway token in the flower bed in the middle of Park Avenue.

    I was wrong. 

    Yesterday I went to the New York City Transit Museum in Brooklyn.   I learned that the first subway token was minted in, I believe the 1950s... anyhow, not an antique.   Perhaps slightly vintage.   It is the quarter sized token and those were minted in the 1980's so this one is not vintage at all.

    The Transit Museum was interesting and small.  It is a working subway station and there are antique subway cars on the tracks you can go into.  Every once in a while they have a trips you can ride in the vintage cars to Coney Island and stuff,  that sounds like fun.   It was interesting to go into the vintage cars..

    ....Rather than delete it I will just leave it.... 

    I don't feel like photographing the subway token.  There are scads of images on the net and since it is not an antique... Also the trains and to be honest, the transit museum was a bore.

    Today is my birthday.  Yesterday was the big hurricane which thankfully petered out before it did much damage to Manhattan. I did not even have to cut my flowers or morning glories or plants.   Everything was fine.  My roof leaked.

    I don't know what to do today.   I am alone and have nothing planned.  I am off of work until Wednesday and then again so until after Labor day.   I do not travel at this time of year because of the weather and times in the past when I spent rained out vacations,  besides I am a Californian in NYC there is always a ton to do.

    In fact, today I may go out to Coney Island and lay in the sun and sit around a bit.  I don't generally sun bathe because of skin cancer but I'll use sunscreen.   I'll take photos...   

    It is getting annoying to edit and crop the photos.  

    I have ADHD,  I always suspected this.  The neurologist told me.

    She said I had a "Ferrari" brain... I Googled it....  She was at that conference where it was described I guess...

    I have always suspected something was wrong because I can't do stuff unless I have the interest...  there is more to it that that but bla bla bla... at this age what matter is it?

    I may rent a bicycle and ride around in Central Park.. 

    I am not sure.   I am thankful,  there is nothing I want and no where i want to go.  I have everything I want and need . Happy Birthday to me.  My life gets better and I get happier as I age.

    Maybe I'll do art, I don't know.  I have not been artistic.  I am cycling through a non artistic or non motivational period.  I am not depressed and am thankful.

    I am not reading any books.   

    Life is dry and mundane at the moment and there are few if any wants or complaints.

    All my needs are met.     I can say I am content and can not ask for any better at this very moment,  right now.   Except for the faintest feeling of boredom, and the idea that I don't really feel like doing anything,  everything is in balance today.

    I have the whole day to do whatever I want and the storm is over.  I want for nothing. 

    Thank you.

    ...actually I would like help.  I would like someone who can, to lay their hand on me and provide healing by energy.  I know someone has healing hands. 

    I would like someone to help me with ADHD so I could focus on writing my novel or short stories and have discipline to paint and create and not just do stuff as it comes and have to be manic about it...

    ...I had 3 wisps of dreams.  I am getting information, or trying to.  This fact came through.

    I bought a new tee shirt.  In the dream the tee shirt had something written on it.  I did not remember upon waking but got the message that there was a message.

    the next night I dreamed I was getting information written across the inside of my forehead across the top,  a message which simply was "now you are like a receiver and are opening for messages and information coming through"   writing this down.

    Last night I had a vivid dream but have already forgotten.   I must remember:

    MINDFUL

    (even when my mind is full)   ( de la vega)   "good things are coming "

    (thank you so much for the message on my birthday)

    Antenna up.
