Legend of Atlantis Escape Game |
A way to survive the empty nest and a "cracked "relationship with a fun daily challenge of new experiences, reflections, sources, and some biblical guidance. I hope this blog which offers a fun journey to survive by trying something new, either vicariously or by doing, will result in a survival tool kit to replace the past familiar doing, giving, and/or incorporating the interest of your child or your long gone love interest, with some new self interest(s).

Day 223- Myrtle Beach-Beach it Relax-A Trip of Many Firsts
Even though I usually go to the beach at least once a year, having
no child or family with me is a new experience. I like the idea of having no one to worry about except myself. I decided to beach it with a “chill attitude” and with no set agenda. There
is nothing like being at the beach and walking along the edge of the sand and listening
to the sound of the cracking waves and wind.
Luckily for me, Spirit and Allegiant Air both have very inexpensive direct flights from Pittsburgh to Myrtle Beach so I
decided to beach it and relax early in
the summer with a bunch of new experiences!

Day 222 House of Blues - Cleveland, Ohio-90’s Grunge Experience
I think that I missed the whole 90’s grunge music era. I
was stuck in the 80’s during the 90’s except for the songs that hit the top 40
charts. Since this blog is all about trying something new, I accepted an invitation to “The 90’s Grunge Experience" at the Cleveland House of Blues to hear three 90’s tribute bands: Hollow (playing Alice in Chains), Seven Circle Sunrise (playing Nirvana) and STP2 (playing Stone Temple Pilots). I
thought that it might be fun to experience the music
of an era that seemed to have
passed me by!

Day 219 American in Paris-Friendships and Spreading Joy with Beauty
I remember seeing the 1951 film,“An American in Paris” as a kid and loved to watch Pittsburgh native Gene Kelly dance because he was always so full of joy as he moved. The musical, “An American in Paris” is inspired by the film. According to Maslow, my blog inspiration psychologist, aesthetic needs or the appreciation and search for beauty in the world is part of the process of obtaining your personal best or being self-actualized. “An American in Paris” is about beautifying and spreading joy in a dark world.
