Deciding to write out a quick blog post that speaks to my love of travel.
A past joy:
My last daytrip to New York in December, 2019. I was with family, so it was more special than most other trips, even if it was brief. I should have insisted on getting a slice of pizza while we were up there, though.

Today’s joy:
It’s always a joy when the O’s beat the Yankees. It’s pretty much always a joy when the Yankees get beat by anybody at all (though I can and do remain neutral on when the Red Sox beat them).
A past joy:
Taking the train to Atlantic City, walking around, and eating a sub at the White House Sub Shop.

Today’s joy:
O’s and Mets completed wins within minutes of each other.
A past joy:
Taking pictures yesterday. I wasn’t all over the place, but in a lot of places, some good places. And it was great to be out, but not running errands, which is what I’ve been mostly doing when I’ve been out. It was good to be out and be creative again.
Today’s inspiration:
Baltimore in the rain.
Today’s joy:
Went out and shot some pictures, mostly of the Patapsco River in different settings. It rained, so that made the time more enjoyable.
A past joy:
Finding out that Harbor Hospital was a good place to take pictures.

Pizza from Phil’s Sub Shop. Except for that time that they put bay leaf on my pizza. Ick.

The acting coach, Bonnie Gillespie, made a live stream where she talked about joy, why it’s important to focus on it, how to, etc. I’ve been focusing on joy in these blog posts and I got motivation and tools to keep going.
Today’s joy:

A past joy:
Going to the batting cage. Though, I wish they’d had one of those larger baseball facilities nearby where players these days go and can play and practice all year round. That would have been an even bigger joy.
Today’s inspiration:
Our creativity group met tonight, instead of last night.
Today’s joy:
See above. Plus, working on an update blog post to an older blog post.
A past joy:
Making collages at church. Long story.

Just getting quiet in the evening and breathing and writing.
A past joy:
A couple of years ago when I went out to Liberty Reservoir for the first time. I enjoyed taking pictures out there, but I left wishing I’d had a boat.
Today’s Inspiration:
Took place last night. Spent some time in a Clubhouse room with other Black writers. I didn’t say a thing, but it was good to be with other Black writers and hear what they had to say and learn a few things. I still feel full inside.
Today’s joy:
Haven’t had Giant’s rotisserie chicken salad in a long time, but I got a pound of it. That’s lunch on Monday.
A past joy:
Crossing Conowingo Dam for the first time. One of the more interesting drives I’ve ever had that day.
