In response to "Easter tradition "

I bought my granddaughter an organizer for her crochet hooks instead of candy this year. Last year I gave her art supplies. My daughter handles the candy in our home. My other grandchildren when they were younger, I sent them things they liked to do. I'm not the candy supplier either.
I like the idea of pajamas, maybe next year that's what I'll get her new spring nightgowns.

In response to "Jeans"

I'm finding it very challenging after my knee surgery. Jeans that I used to wear don't have enough stretch around the knee (it's still swelling) and I don't want to buy new jeans. Even sweat pants are too narrow right now around the knee. Capris' hit right above the knee but smack dab in the middle of the swelling. I hate wearing shorts so I'm wearing knit pajama pants when I go out and while I'm home in a nightgown. The nerve spasms are still an issue.

I agree with you about the cut, I hate jeans that when I sit my butt crack shows so the rise is a huge deal which takes online shopping off the table for me.

In response to "Story Time"

Nice entry!
"Each story had a purpose." Not only in Australia, either. I tend to think all stories have a purpose, even if some want to scare us.

Thank you for your comments. I’m sorry to hear you have the dreaded arthritis too. You never realise how important your feet are until they refuse to work.

In response to "Shoes"

Nice entry and I hear you.
I too have arthritis in my feet, ankles mostly; although, except for when it flares up, usually I'm okay. I can only wear sneakers, and at home, special shoe-like slippers. The podiatrist prescribed insoles but I could never use them. Instead, softer gel-filled inserts work much better. And I would never go barefoot, even at home. I'm just not used to it.
I hope your arthritis is tamed and you feel no pain at all.

In response to "Voice of doubt."

Yes, I do very much believe what we tell ourselves, in an internal convinced voice, to have a great effect on our feelings and behavior. So glad your friend is singing.

Thanks for your comments. Yes, you’ve right about things changing with age. I never thought I’d find myself incapacitated. Weird isn’t it? I’m sure we all have had the sense that ‘old age won’t happen to me!’ It seems life had other plans.😂
Hope your recovery after your knee surgery is progressing well.

In response to "Things I like"

Nice entry.

Like you, I don't do clothes shopping anymore, and with the arthritis, I stopped walking outside, but I walk inside the house and around the yard. Things change greatly as we grow older and older.

Story Time

Prompt: Storytelling
"You’re never going to kill storytelling because it’s built into the human plan. We come with it.”
Margaret Atwood
Do you like telling stories in any shape or form?

Life is just a series of stories. Everyone has a story don’t they? Every time we sit and talk to someone we’re just adding to the story. A story never really ends, even if the person who told you an amazing tale is no longer with you, each time you speak about him/her, you will probably embellish as you retell their story, add a little to it, or change it in some way.

I love telling stories, no matter how humdrum or ordinary the subject matter. I love to hold a person’s attention, and to also add a little fiction or exaggeration, just to make it more entertaining.
We can never run out of stories. While ever or wherever there are people, new stories will be made.
In some countries, like Australia, their indigenous population didn’t have the written word and were dependent on word of mouth to relate the news or to pass on information. Maybe it’s just to inform where the best fishing holes are. Our indigenous used stories as their maps. It’s called The Dreamtime. Each story had a purpose. They tell of their history, geography and where water is to be found. Dreamtime stories are always oral, passed down from generation to generation.
