Welcome Y'all 🤠. I'm into animal rescue and rights. Positive vibes and activism! 😻🙏 It's been interesting for the past 20 years. Good folks on here and a great 😃 writing community. It's time for rethinking my writing and growing as a person . Sharing how to help others and ourselves 😉 has always been my motivation! Hugs 🤗 to new and old peeps!

Hi to the few people who were decent to me and real here. I've given a lot of thought about leaving WDC for the past few months. There was an incident with another member that also played into my decision. I never talked about it to anyone but saw that the person, told me personal things about others. It seems like a pattern of gossip and the friendship ended 2 months ago but I didn't feel comfortable here since things they said in the end to me. There's too much drama going on here and honestly a lot of ego as well. I came here 20 years ago to learn how to write better. For the past 2 years had more time here because I wasn't raising the grandkids anymore. I joined groups to find friends and find support and to encourage others. Most of the groups fell apart. And couldn't find any more to join here. Which was fine. One I left had been awesome yet to be honest, was trying to avoid that person. I don't like conflicts, but try to resolve or at least reason with others but some people don't. If you don't agree with them your sub human. Like some people are about politics or religion. They don't like to be confused with the facts. They don't like you for being honest. A few folks here have been supportive and it mattered how I was. They wanted me to stay. Bless those good souls. Others are just about how many badges they have or how many reviews they gave. That's their thing it's their right. I'm about quality not quantity. I've been on other sites and have written for quite a few. This used to be more like my home page - until it wasn't. It's not the site It's the way people are mistreated if they don't " fit in" or they judge you. That's not a healthy climate for anyone (in my opinion and experience) I never gossiped, instead prayed for people going through it and gave support. I looked at the news feed and gave caring from my heart to those who were in pain or were struggling in life. I commented in blogs and many times never heard back. Few did that for me, when I was going through it. So my time here is almost done. I'm putting most of my port into my Docs. To be recycled in time. There's a saying If you want games Go to Toys R us. Personally I only like games like Mahjong, not head games . Have a blessed life 🙏 Interesting thing 🤔 I'm a preferred writer but can't find myself in a search or as a blogger. |
| Hi, y'all 👋! Today it would be easier if I didn't write ✍️. If I wait to feel better then who knows when I will again 😁! So that subject will stay on the back burner. Yesterday I did 3 random reviews and I enjoyed doing them. I even heard back from one of the authors who was nice to send me GPS for doing it. It was a short piece but well done ( it had a short word count). Last night our Air conditioner ( central air) went out and have been waiting for maintenance to get here and fix it. It's supposed to be 110 with the heat index, so hanging out under the living room fan! MoJo and Maxy our kitties are napping as is my sister. Redoing my portfolio has been going slow. I was hoping I'd been able to have a primary care person by now and feeling better. At least know what's wrong with me feeling lousy every morning and beyond. I pray 🙏 that gets resolved soon. I've been thinking about sharing more of the Greater Good site and finding others that care about animals and might " Click Free everyday" to provide food and medicine for shelter pets. It's been hard to commit to anything, because I feel so drained. I'm hoping my life isn't over and feeling this way won't ever change. It's hard to keep optimistic when my body won't let me forget it. We were going to do laundry today but the AC dying,changed that until tomorrow. Trying to gear up for the BD Bastion and being part of WDC birthday celebration 🥳. Last year I missed it trying to find pain management for my spine issues. It sucks to get older! It could be worse but why not better God G-d? Well I have to whoopi clean my bathroom. Stay cool 😎 wherever you are 😻 |
| Been up since the sun rose. Had important appointment to help a friend. I'm doing preparation for being in the Blog Week Birthday Bastion. I've never been part of the Birthday celebration for WDC before. Usually, I didn't know or have time but this year will be different! ( I haven't been feeling well for a couple of months and had to wait for a primary care person to be available next week. ) Didn't want to commit unless I thought I could finish. So will be Blogging and have been researching groups on WDC. Making progress. Hi y'all I just copied the above from my weekly goals. I've been pretty drained past few days ( probably more than that!) Been praying every day to thank God G-d for returning my soul to me and to give me the strength to make another day! I posted 6 days ago but no one ( saw it) or said hey. People are busy with summer , other projects and I get it! I'm looking forward to the above Writing dot Com BD bash. Maybe will feel better by then. I'm usually more social but, well many get what I mean 😉. I appreciated the inspiration to write more Haiku and other things from the folks, posted on my wall! I did write a new one to add! Hopefully more soon 🤞. Have a great week folks 😁. |
| Hi y'all and hope you're doing ok with all the hot weather, fires, hurricane season and whatever is going on.🙏 We sure live in complicated times and it's important to do " whatever you need to do to take care of yourself" That was the words of Leanne M. a very talented Ballerina/teacher,I studied with in Eugene OR. In that context she meant, drinking water and staying hydrated. While doing dance positions for example, we could choose to stand on our toes (as far as able) or on the balls of our feet. In the context of the book, the lesson is so far ( as I'm still reading it!) that those of us that are 50 years old have worked and put so much effort into the material side of life. Raising families and such. Now the focus on life ( 50 and above!) should be more spiritual and sharing our experiences in life to benefit others. In life, we get to those ages and see our limitations as we get older. It's not hard to feel as if " we aren't needed as much and wonder where our place in life is". Trying to recreate ourselves for this new stage in life. Yes, we are all getting older! In society and media, youth is pushed because it sells! Yet many people are older and it seems like over the past few years, Elders are starting to get more respect and it's about time! Being more spiritual can mean many things to different people. It doesn't necessarily mean more religious. Spirituality can be a moment enjoying a beautiful colorful sunset or being thankful for a majestic tree and the shade it provides. It is a personal reality. Over the years I've experienced many faiths. In each, I've learned how the core beliefs are similar. It is something that could bring people together and to me that's a good thing! In the case of being an elder, it's a good thing. There's so much division in the world today, there always has been. I believe in bringing people together and looking for how alike we are and what we can learn from each other to make a better world. Any thoughts 🤔 💭? I always appreciate your feedback 🤠 😸! Until we meet again Stay safe Be well and happy! 🙏☯️✡️💒🌹⏳⌚ |
