#AppleWatch & #Verizon fixed ✅

#Verizon #AppleWatch headache, Day 12 or 13. I lost count. Wish them luck, because when my Ukrainian temper (where I was born) and my Sicilian neighborhood in Brooklyn (where I grew up) get triggered, one can only be sorry for them. I never yell, but that's not a good sign!

I believe true love—whether it’s a person, a place, or a pursuit—is anything that inspires our #growth and helps us become more fully ourselves. #BlueSkyArtShow #cactus #Nikon #heart #nature #JoshuaTreeNationalPark

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our #growth and our #freedom. Viktor E. Frankl #BlueSkyArtShow #JoshuaTreeNationalPark #Nikon #Desert #Mono #trees

#Friday #newbooks @strandbooks.com I’m so in love with the new red stools! #NYC #Fridaynight #Strand ♥️ #Books #WaltWhitman #Democracy I love #Japanesebooks & trying an #Iranian author #booksky We should share #booksnotbombs!

I'm really in love with #LongIsland nature, but there's no way I’ll ever invest in a house there! What am I, a charity organization, to pay salaries for all their public school superintendents who make as much as on Wall Street?

We’re the richest country in the world, and yet our #healthcare is available only for a nice amount of 💵. The middle class is struggling more&more; good public #education is not even public because the taxes that are being pumped out of parents are unimaginable, and our #elderly are alone&confused!

#Cappuccino #morning #Italian #NYC #UnionSquare My fav time of the year! The best weather in #May #I♥️NYC

Food in American restaurants is tasteless. After #traveling to #Italy 15 times or more, I can say I get the same level of satisfaction from meat as I do from chewing on lettuce. Pasta and cappuccino are decent enough, but it must be #Italian-owned! #Eataly is good! Waste of money & stomach space.

Back in 2000, my aunt took me to her work on Long Island and for events in May and June. I would get very excited about seeing trees flying by on the road. And I would get butterflies in my stomach the night before. It still makes me feel the same way 26 years later.

I got $680 back from eating at restaurants as #cashback! Now, that's a skill! #finances

People always want to know how I stay in shape… Have you ever tried eating pasta while physically running between work appointments?!! Well, that's your answer! #NYC #worklife #healthcare

Mike D unearthed Beastie Boys' "Hello Brooklyn" at his Xanadu shows - see pictures & video www.brooklynvegan.com/mike-d-unear...

My next concert is in 25 days… but who's counting! Can't wait! ♥️🎶🎸

One of my patients never saw me in full height before today… checked me out from head to toe and said, “wow, you look good,” then to my assistant, “watch out, someone can still be your boss.” 😲

You know, it’s impossible not to be in love with you. #Brooklyn #NewYork #home #sunset #Songofmyself I am of old and young, of the foolish as much as the wise #WaltWhitman ♥️

Another night of #workingout & #90’smusic

My plan for June 😍

After miles of untouched tundra on the road through Alaska, the clouds finally opened and Denali appeared. Denali NP, Alaska #BlueSkyMonday #MountainMonday #Photography #Nature #Travel

I think women underestimate being single and out of love. You can finally get a chance to do all the things you planned and never did!

I'm not a #cat person, but I need to buy cat food to keep at home in case I see a street cat nearby.

I'd rather be broke, make less money, have a smaller home, have my sanity, and travel than have a bigger house and bank account! Honestly, #traveling and #exploring are #life!

#Verizon + Apple Watch run around Day 5 🤷‍♀️

What I've learned is that #love is never free. Eventually, we pay for it with the memories that turn into a void inside a heart that never goes away. But once, while we still should look up to find a new kind of love that won't fill the space, but rather serve as a bandaid. #♥️ #🇺🇸 #MemorialDay #NYC

Morning listen while running the chores #Route66 #100 #ontheroad #writerontheroad

Yes… I need an excuse to go shopping on my day off! #WaltWhitman #May

On this day in 1977, Star Wars blasted into theaters for the first time. Nobody knew it yet, but the Force had just awakened a galaxy-sized fandom that would span generations.

On this day in 1978, Paul McGuinness saw a Dublin band called The Hype perform live and decided to become their manager. The group soon changed its name to U2, kept the same four members, and went on to make music history for decades to come.

When other people are thinking about BBQ and a long weekend, I'm thinking about workouts and lifting weights. #Exercise is a priority #90smusic

Day 4 of fixing the #AppleWatch pairing with #Verizon! 🤪

I think the “beauty” of being over 40 is that you are always tired. Almost always! You are tired when doing something and tired when sitting. So I choose to be tired doing something because I'm tired anyway! #NYC #Broadway #Fujifilm #Rain #Rainyweekend #Broadway

#BlueSkyArtShow #Tall Every step is a discovery 💙 #NYC #Fujifilm #rain #streetphotography

#Metallica #Sphere tickets are outrageous! I went to see U2 4 times for that kind of money. My ticket to Dublin in September is half the price!

One of my favs was released on this day, May 22, 1995 #CommonPeople #PULP #Brooklyn #KingsTheatre ♥️

When I live alone, only 10% of my refrigerator is actually filled, and most of the time, the 5% out of the 10 goes bad.

My friend didn’t go with me to the book fair because she likes Kindle and doesn’t like physical books. This morning, she texted, all excited, that she bought Moby Dick from the world’s most beautiful #bookstore in Porto! Weird! Don’t say “no” to something you might love especially #books! #booksky

History looks different from afar 🔙🖤 #iPhone17promax #architecture #blackandwhite #b&w #NYC #WTC 🤍

In love with my favorite Italian brand #LOVE #🦋 #💚 #🌺

I’m actually starting to think that growing up in poverty was the best thing that happened to me in life! Every time I see that my bedroom has a bathroom at home, and when I walk into a restaurant, it still blows my mind! Every little thing blows my mind!

If I have to do another life (like an afterlife), I refuse to come back as any #immigrant! One lifetime is enough!
