COMMUNICATION IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!

by Seabreeze

Rated: E · Book · Writing · #2184267

Thoughts, we all have them. What is yours?

What is on your mind? I love all type of topics and will talk about almost anything! So, what is happening with you lately?

Come, tell me about yourself. What excites you about writing? What other things do you do: Art, music, animals?

I go to market on Saturdays, and usually stop in M-F at the Senior Center. Wednesdays is 10% off at the grocery store. I tend to do my washing every two weeks on a Sunday or Monday. I watch Thai programs on youtube. I write something every day. When I had a garden I would be working in it until I couldn't see.

My life is "smaller" these days. I consider getting out of bed "productive".

I was just surprised by the pick because he retired from neurosurgery practice over a decade ago and has, in the time since, arguably built a higher national profile for himself in politics/public service. It would be like wanting to meet Mark Wahlberg not because he's a famous actor, but because of his prior musical accomplishments with The Funky Bunch. It's a totally valid choice, just an unexpected one.

Very nicely told! Thanks for sharing this great experience with us! It's inspiring to know there are folks like that out there.

Humm, why not? A highly respect neurosurgeon and he has a fascinating life history. No one could ever guess that he would have made it to become a doctor let along a neurosurgeon.

Thanks for reading and your valued comments.

I definitely would never have guessed Ben Carson of all people!

My first visit to your blog! Thank you for the trinket.
I imagine the frying pan was used for all kinds of things, back in the day.
I actually won a skillet toss competition at a county fair!

I have to agree with you. Home is my favorite place as well. However, I do like to travel on the occasion and get a change of scenery, but it's always the best to walk back through the home doors!

That's unacceptable regarding the parking situation. To be told you're allowed to park someplace, and then not allowed to park there due to a requirement that clearly should have been mentioned in the letter. I usually use the valet parking option for my eye appointments, as it's free and reasonably convenient.

I used to go horse riding as a teenager. We lived in the city and I begged my parents to let me have a horse, and I swore I would look after it. Fortunately, they said no because that would never have worked out

I used to love horses though and I spent all my spare time at the stables, which were a half-hour bike ride away. But it's different when you chose to help muck out the stables when it suits you compared to having to do it because it's your horse, in the freezing cold or when it's raining.

I haven't been near a horse since then. I would probably be a bit scared of them now.

Great advice! As I reach the "mid-career" level of my life, I find myself thinking more and more about retirement and what planning I should do now to make sure that those later years are properly financed. But I'm honestly surprised at how many people my age don't have ANY retirement savings. Or much savings. Many of them are the result extenuating life circumstances (which no one can control), but there are quite a few who just "haven't gotten around to thinking about it" yet. That terrifies me because, as you said, starting earlier in life is the best way to ensure later success!

Blog Harbor #12

Prompt #12: What's your favorite historical event or time period, and why do you find it so interesting?

It would be the turn of the century, 1890s on. I love the excitement that it brought to America. It just takes us out of the Wild West into the beginnings of so much industry. We have cars, phones, electricity and so much more. The clothing will start to change. Women are working. Large cities are amazingly complicated. We are atarting to see true traffic. Tall buildings going up. Street cars start to replace the horse for travel in the city.

I would have loved to have traveled back in time to New York and ride a stree car down Main Street. Or take a ferry out to see Ellis Island and the Lady herself. Aspirin is invented. Mark Twain wrote an essay titled Concerning the Jews. What is not to like about the Victorian Era? The dresses were still to long but I would love to dress up in one for a costume party, just once. And the homes that were being built; check out author John Steinbeck's home:

These are just a few of the things that could take me back to the 1899s.
