With the cold temperatures we've been having this far, I suspect that person wouldn't be leaving their house.
I don't know about you, but I've spent a week with no other contact, I found it very enlightening because I discovered how capable I was of doing things myself. This was after my divorce and my ex telling me that I would never go camping or kayaking without him, I was too stupid to do it on my own. I felt like I had a point to prove to myself. Unlike Hanks in the movie, in the back of my head I knew I could reach out and someone would come but I didn't give in I persevered and made it. I burned dinner once, over-turned my kayak once and the tent fell done on me the first night but ultimately I really enjoyed the silence.
WE change and ageing is a kind of shock to the brain. I find it kind of interesting to age since no one ever told me what it would be like. I will be 80 before the month of January is over. Looking forward to January thaw if we get one.
My younger me definitely had a different list than today's list. The things like you that I wanted changed remind me today that I survived and I'm still surviving with less desire of changes and more gratitude.
I would never have guessed you're 80 years old reading your blog entries. You're definitely young at heart.
The fires are horrific. I agree the fires are definitely showing us how easily our lives can change. Man's illusion of being indestructible cannot surpass mother nature.
I'm so sorry. I hope this time turns out better. My daughter is an alcoholic but alcohol free for 4 years now with the help of AA. She lives not far from her meeting place and goes often. Somehow she knows when she needs to go more often and does that. She has a good sponsor and I am so proud of her (she'll be 60 this year and has 2 adult children that she has reunited with recently). She tells me one has to be at the very bottom to realize the need to climb up. Of course, that bottom is different for different people, but she did "try" AA several times before "it took". Best wishes to you and your family.
Use these thoughts to write the worst structured poem you possibly can. Venting, ranting, or complaining about something, sickness or bodily dysfunction. Have fun!
Crutches! They’re such a
Pain. No hands free
Even to go for a wee
Is not easy.
Struggling, muddling through.
The days seems longer and I’m not
Feeling stronger.
Hey! stop your moaning and groaning.
What are you? A wimp?
Toughen up, sunshine, you’re not alone.
Grow a bit more backbone.
There’s always someone worse.
That’s true I don’t even need a nurse
Tomorrow’s another day
Ain’t that what THEY say?
Whoever THEY may be.
So I’ll pick up my sticks and walk the walk,
Or at least I’ll shuffle and talk the talk.
Oh, dear crutches, soon I’ll be out of your clutches.
