In response to "Gratitude "

I can understand the patients mistaking their gratitude for romantic love, since they were the ones suffering and they were helped. But when the doctors and nurses take that patient seriously, it becomes something else; luckily, this is rare.
Like you said, there are many kinds of love.

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.

In response to "Beauty in aging"

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."

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.

It would definitely make a great children's story.

Revenge is sweetest when it's on the page and not reality.

Trust. What trust?

Prompt: Trust
What kinds of actions or signs make you believe someone is trustworthy? And if trust is broken, how can it be rebuilt?

Oh, my goodness, we live in a time in history when trust has been dealt a death sentence.
The internet is to blame. We can no longer believe what we see and what we hear. We need to be constantly on guard from those who are out to trick, scam and steal from us.
We no longer answer phone calls from numbers we don’t recognise, and even if we see a message or email from what appears to be a trusted source, such as the bank, we need to verify its validity.

So how can we trust? Who can we trust? Only those close to us.

I have just a couple of good friends who I trust. If they ever betrayed that trust I would be devastated. My children and my husband of course are the only other ones.

I can’t see society ever returning to that time when a handshake meant something, when you could believe the news on the television, radio and newspapers. It’s all fake news as one Mr Trump often spouts. Photographs are photoshopped, Artificial Intelligence can now make it appear as if people are saying and doing things they never did. So when you can’t trust your eyes and ears what can you trust?
Even our children are being lured on line by people who strike up conversations, pretending to be a child of the same age. They gain their trust and then abuse it. How sickening is it to have to sit your child down to explain they need to be on guard from predators, that they can only trust their families?

Politicians are certainly not trustworthy, they’ll say anything to get votes and then disregard all their election promises.

We are being forced to be a world of cynics. It’s a world I’m beginning to dislike.
