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."

It would definitely make a great children's story.

In response to "Revenge"

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

Olympics are a comin’

"Blogging Circle of Friends "
DAY 3532 June 22, 2024
Have fun with these words: athletes, yellow, smart, ginger, spinach, work, schedule, and dynasty.

When I saw the word athletes, it reminded me that we’ll be hearing it often over the coming weeks. Yes, the Olympics are here again. We’ll witness the best of the best in all sporting endeavours. Our Australian team will be looking smart in their yellow and green uniforms. Or as we call it, sporting the green and gold. I hope they’ve eaten all their spinach which is after all supposed to give them strength like Popeye the sailor man.
We’re hoping our swimming team excel as that’s the sport we do the best in. After all their gruelling schedule and dedication to their sport some miss out by just a fraction of a second for the chance to represent their country. Often those athletes who have been excelling in their field of endeavour come from families who have been involved throughout their lives and have almost formed a dynasty of athletes.

Anyhow I’ll be glued to the television drinking my favourite lemon and ginger tea, urging the Australian athletes on to victory. I realise of course each person from the country represented in the Olympics in Paris will be doing exactly the same. Although the Parisians will be drinking Champagne. The Americans? Well probably Coca Cola or a beer. I might be the odd one out sipping my ginger tea. The rest will be sculling a few tinnies of Lager and sharing a platter of shrimps from the barbie.

Let’s all simply enjoy the spectacular of the Olympics from our armchairs.
