Today's mosaic is titled 'Birthday Girl' The birthday girl is Yanda, my daughter. (All protocols observed) All vaccinated, a tiny group of family and friends (all girls party) went to the safe zone 'A Cup of Joe' in Woodbrook on the eve of her birthday to celebrate her turning 50. That left her, alone time on, her actual birthday the 28th to relax and spend the day reading a book.

There is so much to be annoyed about, we remember the hurts so well. Hurts are not wild game that one goes a hunting. More like the unpredictable weather patterns. Some just come storming in. Wetting the plants, the porch, the window curtains. Snatching a bit of roof in rage. No one not even the meteorologist expected that. Well hurt is like that sometimes.
On the other side of the coin, there is the unexpected joys. Did i see that coming? Oh but there is still goodness in the world. Like the drizzle cooling the parched earth. The wildflower pops up which no one ever planted. With its unique colour tones, petal count. stem lengths. And we pause in contemplative gratitude. And Sometimes thank you pops up in a smile not spoken.
Some Peppers we use her in T&T. [all photos taken from the internet]
Peppers were named by Christopher Columbus and Spanish explorers who were searching for peppercorn plants to produce black pepper. Columbus took samples of a wide variety of peppers back to Europe where they became quite popular.
“Don't be a pepper on the eyes of people; Rather be the salt on their tongue and make a difference that influences their sense of belonging to the earth.”― Israelmore Ayivor
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

Asked to use the line "I am bombarded yet I stand" in a prose not longer than 144 words

smaller and smaller
I am bombarded yet i stand: The curfew hours, State of emergences , lockdowns, constant hand washings, mask wearing, children zoom schooled, deaths, hospital bed spaces filled.
Now i am ready with flattening the curve: the vaccines, the opening of borders, the disposal masks, the designer masks, the nod of the head in greeting, the children returning to school.
Ready to understand and accept the new normal living. In our largeness, this global village; we, have become smaller and smaller
November is here. Happy month of November to all visiting.
