Living in New York City this past year has been an act of love, resistance and resilience. Plainly speaking, it has been hard. Day in and day out I walked to the clinic wondering how we would get to the other side. Sadly, for many others it didn’t make sense to stay in the city and they packed up and left. Thousands upon thousands have supposedly left the city. Some have left for the suburbs, others left to other states.
For some of us who have stayed in the city, we are looking at our beloved city wondering what is next. I’m walking around the city looking at the highrises thinking of how there are still do many being built. Yet, who will occupy them?
There will be newcomers. That I do not doubt. There will be shifts in the population. I myself will be looking to see if there are decreases in the rental market prices. New York reinvents itself every so often. We will do so again and rise to the occassion. That I am sure of.

One Thing i Love About
Blogging is it Gives
One an Opportunity
To Virtually Walk in
The Shoes of a Stranger
Reading Their Story
Telling And or Poetry
Moving to Deepest
Depths of their
Souls indeed
Expanding Our
Souls in Cognitive
Empathy This way
For Those Who See
And Value Life’s
Experiences so
Differently
i find Great
Affective Feelings
Of Empathy in Joy
As Others Share What
They Value Differently
Than me As You were
Analyzing the Prospects
Of Those living in Newly
Constructed Skyscrapers
In New York, New York…
i thought of the most
Beautiful Day at the
Beach Where i
Took Photos and
Wondered Why
No one else was
There to Witness
The Miracle of
Nature that
Day
But
True
Now many
Have Had An Opportunity
And Still Do to See
That
Day
Of
Miracles then…
Smiles.. Blogging
Kodak Moments of
Soul… Thanks for sharing
A Stranger’s Soul Each
And Every Day as my
Mother Told me
Before i
Could
Speak
At Age
4…. i Had my Arms
Open to Every Stranger…
A Few Returned the Hug..:)

Take advantage of what you can – it’s not going anywhere. NYC is too important, too vital, too much the center of too many things.

I have a feeling that NYC will not be the only place reinventing itself. The same applies to a whole variety of places and to a whole lot of people and businesses and institutions and on and on.
I have been forced to reinvent myself as well, and not just by the pandemic lockdown. If I ever can motivate myself enough, I plan to write about that whole situation, which will hopefully be a cathartic experience because boy do I need at least one of those!
I may post, though possibly not, since at this point I have no idea where I want to end up, though I expect that decision to be within my purview by the time the lockdown ends. Since even before the lockdown started, I have been on an emotional roller coaster over which I’ve had no control or foresight, so I’m looking forward to being able to be and do for myself again in what will probably be a new normal world for all of us. A double new beginning?
