Monday Moaning or Monday Marveling? 7/7/25

I’m marveling this Monday morn at the absolutely amazing ability … TO READ! (As I often reiterate whenever I think about gratitude, everyone doesn’t have that for which I’m grateful.)

I love this little whatever-it-is. We saw it in the crafts section at Saturday’s fabulous Forsyth Farmers Market here in Savannah.

A delightful artisan creates beautifully quirky works of art from silver cutlery!

Sidebar: Robert fell in love with the tiny magnetic flower vases made from the hollow bottom sections of silver knives!

Okay, back to the “Reading” topic of this post. As I have shown before, here are our reading chairs in our study.

And here’s what I’m currently reading …

… a fascinating and “I-can’t-believe-I’ve-never-heard-of-this-before” look at the history of gay life in Brooklyn.

Because I’m sure you’re just dying to know, I usually read two books simultaneously: what I call my “short time read” (above) and my “long time read.” (The “long time read” is a book not intended to be read quickly or even from cover to cover.

Here’s my current “long time read”:

“Ohm. Ohm. Ohm. Ohm.”

My “long time reads” are often self-help about physical, mental, emotional or relationship health. Robert often says that one would think I would be in MUCH better physical, mental, emotional and relationship shape, having read “so much of this junk.” (I try to pay little to no attention to HR.)

I hope you find something that fascinates you this new day and week.

Happy Monday Marveling!
