I hear you! I do my best to do things well enough and I keep at them, but I'm not going to kill myself because if keeping at something useless, the effort I put in is useless. When I realize that I quit.
I admire what you did with the fish pond and it made me smile. And to think that you did it in one day! Wow!
The bible also says “turn the other cheek”. ( It’s full of contradictory stuff!)
It’s a complex question & I’m not sure how I feel about the death penalty.
I think texting is detrimental to our communication skills because so many people use emoticons and abbreviations that when it comes to actual conversations they've forgotten how to use words. It drives me crazy when my granddaughters are texting while we're trying to have an actual conversation. I've said on more than one occasion what is it going to take to have your undivided attention. In my home, cell phones are shut off between 5:00-7:00 for family interaction time.
Excellent point! I have to take time out now and then just to say to myself, you have nothing to complain about when compared to others. I have a small medical condition but not life threatening. I am 79, see good, hear good, walk good - no complaints I say. So we do need to remind ourselves how good we have it.
I guess as you get older it comes before us more, like for Willie Nelson in his 90s. Age is a big factor. But, since we have no real control on age, we all age, we must make the best of it.
Blessings to you, and thanks for reminding me how go I have it!
Prompt: Songs
What do you think of song lyrics in general and
which songs have vivid memories for you? Also, do you remember if any song taught you anything about life?
I love song lyrics. I think the reason I’m not keen on many modern songs is because I can’t tell what they’re singing. The music may sound great and make you want to hum along but I need the words. I like songs with a meaning, songs that mean something to me. Songs that make me want to smile, dance, be sad or make me emotional. Even the song ‘I still call Australia Home,’ makes me cry, even when they are playing it on the Qantas ad! There are so many songs I can’t really choose. Anything off Norah Jones first couple of albums would be ok. The song lyrics I’ve chosen are from I hope you dance.’ There are many singers who have sung this, but it’s the words which I like and the sentiment. “If you have the chance to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.’
