Friday Flags Visible from the Highway in Waterbury CTThe center of Waterbury CT is traversed by 2 highways and caution is necessary as there are always distractions.As one rounds a curve in the highway there sits the oldest hospital in Waterbury, St Marrys hospital. At the farthest end of the building is an island and center to that island is our flag.It stands tall with the adjacent flags of the State of CT and the company that operates the hospital.The bridge behind it is the roadway that traverses the highway at that section of roadway.I am happy that I found a few extra minutes to circle back and take the photo as the day was perfect for it.Friday Flags Visible from the Highway in Waterbury CT 12/01/2023

Today, December 1, 2023, January 1, 2024 is just 31 days away. I have been working on my executive strategic thinking and planning for the last couple of months. Now is the time to formalize the actual plan by committing this plan to writing.I do not employ the words “business planning” because a business plan is what is submitted to a bank. Its construction is not as detailed as an executive strategic thinking plan.  The key word in this planning approach is “thinking.” And I have been doing a lot of thinking.The first thought thinking process was predicated on being a Rainmaker here on Active Rain. That 2023 goal was achieved as far as points in early November.Then it was time to craft an updated bio.  To undertake that goal I hired an Active Rain Member, Marte Cliff  to bring a diffe... 12/01/2023

PHOTO JOURNALISM by PATRICIA FEAGER, 12/1/2023The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens is where I found Paradise. The date was November 29, 2023. This is part two written on December 1, 2023 of "Where to Find Paradise in Dallas." Inspiration was waiting. Our greatest glory is not in never fallingbut in rising everytime we fall...annonymous Is there anyone not attracted to the sound and source of water? No. It wasn't raining on the day I visited the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. What you see in the photo above in falling water is just a water feature to see and hear the sound of water. In my feature photo I walked between the vibrant Red Maples to get there. Still waters can silence the heart. Falling water can draw me inward towards inspiration.  The face of this sculpture c... 12/01/2023
