COMMUNICATION IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!

by Seabreeze

Rated: E · Book · Writing · #2184267

Thoughts, we all have them. What is yours?

What is on your mind? I love all type of topics and will talk about almost anything! So, what is happening with you lately?

Come, tell me about yourself. What excites you about writing? What other things do you do: Art, music, animals?

In response to "Blog Harbor Prompt #2"

Great advice! As I reach the "mid-career" level of my life, I find myself thinking more and more about retirement and what planning I should do now to make sure that those later years are properly financed. But I'm honestly surprised at how many people my age don't have ANY retirement savings. Or much savings. Many of them are the result extenuating life circumstances (which no one can control), but there are quite a few who just "haven't gotten around to thinking about it" yet. That terrifies me because, as you said, starting earlier in life is the best way to ensure later success!

I had heard of Narcolepsy but I didn't really know what it meant, so I found this very informative! I can imagine that it must have been quite scary at times.

I was struck by your choice to compare dogs with horses. I love dogs, mostly the mutt variety. I've always thought they are the most down-to-earth animals. We always had a dog when I was growing up.

My wife is a cat person of the first magnitude. So for the past 12 years I've been getting to know a number of cats. Our one cat remaining has grown on me. My wife also loves horses. I wish her all the best ... but my horses remain on the television.

I guess it's the changes in life that makes us grow. And by the way, keep it up with the Blog Harbor prompts.

In response to "Poetry Forms"

I'm not sure I have the bones to be a real poet. But I do enjoy dabbling with the many forms there are. Fourteen years ago I joined a group called Poetic Explorations. It no longer exists, but its purpose was to have members write a poem using a different form each week for 50 weeks. I actually made it through week 29 before life interruptus happened.

My efforts are in a folder called "Poetic Explorations"

. I really enjoyed writing form poetry.

I'm a member of "The Poet's Place "

, but haven't been as active as I might be.

Enjoy your poetic endeavors.

In response to "What Are You Thankful For?"

1. Coffee in the morning.

2. My daughter lives near me and helps when I ask. Or she volunteers. She's truly a blessing.

3. I don't have a car, which is okay. No car payment or car insurance.

4. I'm thankful for my view of the lake.

5. I adore my grandsons.

6. Thanks to my mom. She helps me out financially so I can live in a nice apartment.

7. I'm thankful for my friends here. I have no others in the real world.

8. I'm thankful for cloudy weather and cool temperatures.

9. Even though my budget is tight, I'm thankful for what I do have.

10. My oldest brother is my rock.

In response to "Child Confusion or Abuse"

To: Fathertymme, Winter Edition. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on the issue of transgenderism. You have made some excellent point/questions that I would hope more people would put to heart before taking that road as an answer. The one thing I do not hear asked or questioned by professionals is, "How much of the physical environment affect a person who is unhappy or thinks they are in the wrong body?" What I mean is, how much do we know of the environment (chemicals in the air; what may affect the baby in the womb that may have been cause by health of the mother or self-inflicted; vaccinations; over-the-counter drugs we take; media influence; physical and mental abuse; divorce and I am there are more I am leaving out.

The human body is very complex, especially the brain, and even professionals now say that brain in not fully developed until around age 25; and they say adult and teen brains work differently.

I just remembered, for the other individual who asked about a three year old who wanted to change gender, I will leave the link(s) below of info that is available.

Thanks again for your contribution to this issue.

Blog Harbor Prompt #1

If I had a choice of being either a 'that guy' or 'that girl' actor or actress, I would want to be Doris Day. Now there is a cutie. She has it all: looks, voice, talent. She has made many movies, and the leading man she got to act with: James Garner, Rock Hudson, Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, Clark Gable to name a few.

I can remember when I was in sixth grade, there was this girl who looked a lot like her and she was a fan of Doris. She knew all of her movies and songs. Wow, I was impressed.

Do I have a favorite movie? Calamity Jane. It is a fun movie to watch and I just love the song Secret Love that she sung in the movie:

I can't think of one thing I didn't like about her. She even had a good cause she supported, Doris Day Animal Foundation (https://www.dorisdayanimalfoundation.org/about).

The best thing would have been to have lunch with her and ask her about her career. She is gone though and I don't believe we will even have another female actress like her.
