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.
Sue
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.
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.
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.
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
I had my Covid 19 shot today. Australia is so far behind so many other countries with their immunisation programme. It’s probably a good thing that there are so few of us compared to elsewhere. Australians have on the whole been quite reluctant to get the vaccination because of a couple of reasons. 1. Because we haven’t really had the disease to speak of. 2. We had a few cases of the vaccine if responsible for a few deaths owing to blood clots with one of the vaccines we are using here. Anyway we decided tomorrow do our bit for our fellow countrymen and so far so good. John has a headache and has gone to bed but it’s probably all in his imagination.
I’ve just been reading Robert Waltz blog and am now craving French Onion soup. It’s really chilly here today and the thought of that steaming bowl of soup topped with grilled bread and cheese has me drooling. I can’t be bothered going out again and purchasing the amount of onions needed though. Thanks for the Robert.
