In response to "Beauty in aging"

I'm with Sue on doing everything you can while you can Kåre เลียม Enga

Sue, I was a force to be reckoned with when it came to doing things until 3 years ago, and then I took that crazy fall off the ladder. That fall broke not just my feet and damaged two discs in my back and tore the cartilage in my knee but it stole my fearlessness in doing things. Now I find I'm afraid of doing anything that might be risky where I never used to worry about the possibilities.
I've never cared about physical appearances, the things that mattered most to me was doing the things I dreamed of doing like hiking in Bryce Canyon, traveling to all the National Parks, dancing all night with my hubby and then walking together as the sunrises. I've accomplished a few parks and danced with my hubby but not all night and thankfully we've seen a lot of sunrises together.

Grasp life with both hands. While you can travel do it, Kare. It’s the thing which gives you most joy and happiness. The warmer weather will do those aging bones good too. You don’t have to hop skip and jump to enjoy an outdoor food market or just sit and chat to a stranger. We need to find our pleasures where we can before it’s too late. Looking forward to reading your observations from Penang.

I am definitely faded. I'm doing this 10 week trip to prove to myself that I can. I don't hop, skip and jump. 42 stairs up may yet do me in.

In response to "Risky business "

You did take huge risks, didn't you! But I applaud you for every single one of them. I think you are better off for taking all those risks that made you a strong person.

In response to "When I’m no longer here."

I know what you mean about not wanting to go back and edit my work, and I do cringe when people review older work of mine.

I don't have answers either.

In response to "When I’m no longer here."

It is interesting. My Grandmother left some post cards from friends which I read and added to my stamp collection. I have a pair of her earrings also that I saw her wear once. Even elderly she was beautiful. Now I wonder who else may have left written things in Grandmas family.

In response to "Midnight. A story for little ones."

Very nice story. Once on a trail ride. We stopped to eat our roast beef sandwiches. The pony I was riding wanted some and yes ate its share roast beef and all.

It would definitely make a great children's story.

Revenge is sweetest when it's on the page and not reality.

In response to "Cliche "

Really loved the grittiness of the first poem, taking something that normally brings a sense of wonder, awe and joy into something grim and cynical (and I’m not even really the biggest fan of that style of storytelling). So great job there.

The clock one was eerie as heck, but I loved it. I kind of interpreted it as if the clock turned sentient. Amazing work all around. Faved to reference as inspiration later

Please use these random words in your entry today: desire: electron, possibility, bride, mistreat, battery, prompt, and likely. Have fun!

Today’s prompt is going to be challenging, but I love a challenge.
When I was a bride, over 58 years ago… I can hardly believe I just wrote that! I’ll try again now I’ve recovered! When I was a bride it was expected that within the first year there would be the possibility or I should say it would be likely there’d be a baby on the way. Nowadays young women enjoy much more freedom to choose when to start a family. It seems to be in their mid-thirties when the desire to have a baby becomes strong. By the time my husband and I were that age our family of three were all at school and I was back at work having spent their formative years at home.
Todays couples don’t have the luxury of living on one wage with the rising cost of living, plus their desire to have everything right now. Children today would feel as if their parents actually mistreat them if they didn’t have every battery reliant gadget on the market. The screen culture isn’t limited to the young though. We are all hooked on screens, whether it be television or computer screens, and the electrons from the light emitting diodes, more commonly known as LED are bouncing about on the screen you are probably reading my blog entry on today.

Five things

#1901904 by Lyn's a Witchy Woman

Prompt:What are five things you believe about yourself?

This is a difficult prompt. The things I believe to be true aren’t necessarily how others perceive me. Anyway I’ll attempt to find five things I believe to be true about myself.
Here goes:
1. I believe I am loyal, certainly to my family. As for friendships I’ve never considered myself a great friend. That’s not to say if any friend asked for help I wouldn’t be there in a heartbeat. No, it’s that catching up, meeting for coffee, going shopping sort of girl friend dates, then I’ll admit if I can wriggle out of them then I will. And that’s the truth.

2. I’d never be unfaithful to my husband. That is and always was set in stone.

3. I believe I have a really great sense of humour. We have had so many dramas to overcome during our lives I don’t think we would have survived without my sense of humour which can make most people relax and see the funny side. Even if sometimes it’s a black humour.

4. I am stubborn and strong, perhaps not physically anymore but emotionally. I don’t crumple under adversity.

5. Im a true Cancerian. I show my hardened shell to the world but I have a very soft underbelly which I only allow a few to see.
