an ~ordinary~ day in New York City... a Sunday vlog.

Love the story of the chat with the veteran and then your Dad meeting him the very next day. That definitely means something! Have a wonderful trip Gail - safe travels ✈️

What are the odds of that man not only encountering both you & your father separately but speaking with you both. Incredible really! Hope you have a safe & fun trip.

The ferry out to the San Juan Islands is incredible. So beautiful. The island themselves were great but the ferry trip was almost the best part for me.

Gail, when I hear someone else has reached out to Better Help, I want to cheer! I know of many who are benefitting from their help. More importantly, speaking up on behalf of actively supporting mental health is so beneficial to so many. Thank you! Safe travels. A Gram from MO😘

Amazing the two interactions, thanks for sharing. 💗💗

If I want to relax..I just watch your video. Have a great trip.

I have had a similar experience in my life, an event so seemingly implausible and meaningfully coincidental, that it just rocks you to your core. It happened years and years and years ago, and the wonderment of it has never left me. Just the sheer "what are the odds?" nature of it... Listening to your talk about your own episode with this kind of thing resonated deeply! Great video, Gail!

I just LUV when a new video of you pops up. So relatable, l live vicariously here in NYC.....hee hee😅❤ Stay WELL and keep on looking FANTASTIC 😍🤩🤩🤩 And have a safe and terrific trip on my side of the coast, cheerio from the Pacific Northwest!🎉😅🎉

Hi Gail! When I want to relax I bring my phone or tablet into my bedroom and lay down and watch YouTube videos. Its also relaxing to me to go on a walk and end up at my favorite store - Dollar Tree. Its relaxing walking around Dollar Tree at a leisurely pace and looking at everything in the store. I feel like I am alone in the store. Even though there may be other people in the store. I relax with cooking and especially baking. Listening to music. Eating blueberry oatmeal relaxes me. Your voice relaxes me. I just decorated for Fall even though its July and summer.decorating relaxes me. Especially Fall decor. Fall is my favorite season. I just want this long hot summer to be gone. I am ready for cold fronts. August 12 th my birthday is the first day of school here in Central Florida. When school starts to me its the start of Fall. I keep my Fall decorations up until November. I add Halloween decorations to my Fall decorations. Shopping at Aldi relaxes me. Its the cheaper prices I think is what relaxes me. Lol. Shopping on Amazon relaxes me. Doing a Kroger grocery delivery order relaxes me. With all of the sales and digital coupons I save alot of money. Journaling relaxes me. Anyways very much enjoyed your video. Enjoy your trip.💜

Hi Gail! Another great video! I went to Seattle a few years ago and fell in love with lattes. This was before they were common. But I couldn’t figure out why I hardly slept on that trip. Duh!! 3 lattes a day and all that espresso was the reason!! Travel safe! 💖 Chris

Every time I drink, I make that sound you just demonstrated. 🤣🤣🤣🤣How do you spell it? I’ve been doing it for a long time. I'm currently at Mt. Ashland in Oregon, about a five-hour drive from Portland. You'll love it here! If you’re ever near Mt. Ashland, PLEASE send me a message. Have a wonderful time and safe travels! WE GOT THE CALL TODAT - Stem cell transplant will be in October. We will have to live in Portland next door to hospital they have a special facility for patients and family or in this case me for 6 weeks - 2 weeks in the hospital for transplant and 4 weeks next door to OHSU ( brilliant hospital). Sigh I’m scared ❤💜💜💜🫶🏻

I find studying the Stoic philosophy to be of great value

Introspection to understand yourself, examine yourself, question and take responsibility for it all is the wisest and most beneficial thing a person can do. Taking responsibility for one’s choices, making changes in one’s behavior and thinking when necessary. The rest of your life will thank you.
