For most of RJsCorner existence, I have been “Having My Say” in 500 words or less. I do enjoy the challenge of just 500 words, but there are times when I need more, sometimes much more. That’s what “Contemplations” is going to be all about. Continue reading Contemplations On Life… Coming In 2025
My RetCom (retirement community) could be considered a gated community. It doesn’t have a gate at the entrance, but it does have a sign in station in the lobby of the building. But, after thinking about it a while, a gated community could be a prison. Comparing the two is what this post is all about. 😁 Continue reading Living In A Gated Community
Clothesline Art is a new project for 2025. As the name implies, it is not about all those expensive paintings that line big time museums with contributors names above each door. Instead, it is about looking at every day life as art. Continue reading Introducing “Clothesline Art” in 2025
My mind just seems to have a mind of its own. I’m sure I can’t really explain this enough for you to truly understand. It’s just that sometimes while I am doing almost anything, my mind suddenly needs attention, and it won’t stop reminding me of that until it gets it. Continue reading My Mind Has A Mind Of Its Own…

I never tire of giving you yet another picture from one of my many trips to Pleasant Hill Shaker Village. I really don’t know how many times I have visited this site. Whenever I feel down and just want to get away, this is usually my destination. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #132 – Shaker Simplicity
I know my posts here and at RJsMosaic have been few and far between in the last month or so. I have been busy planning my projects for 2025. Continue reading Hello, I’m Still Here…
Parke County Indiana has more than its share of covered bridges, and I have visited most of them. But, perhaps this one is my favorite. It was taken from a weathered window at the bottom of the Bridgeton Mill. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #144 The Bridges of Parke County
Everybody, even the simpletons in the world, of which there are MANY, have thought about what they want to be known for after they are dead. I know I have spent an inordinate amount of time on this subject. Continue reading I’ve Decided What I Want My Legacy To Be
Pittsburgh is very much a “working man’s town.” One day on a trip to Philadelphia, we made a one-hour tour through some Pittsburgh’s legendary neighborhoods that haven’t changed much in the last 100 years. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #142 Pittsburgh, One Gritty Town
In my mind, empathy is what makes my life worth living. Helping others with their struggle through life. In that regard, it is important to understand just what empathy is all about. Continue reading Empathy Without Action Is…
Old Quebec is a fortified town retaining its colonial architecture from over 400 years ago. “Fortified” means it still has the defensive works that protected it from attacks. We didn’t visit Quebec but were fascinated by the original version Continue reading Mosaic of Life #141 Old Town Quebec – X-Ray
I was careful to precisely state the title of this mosaic. The “thing” I miss the most in my life is the 1800 sq ft workshop that I left behind when I moved into my RetCom in 2021. Continue reading Mosaic of Life #143 The Thing I Miss The Most…
