For "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  Prompt: What can be the five positive things to remember about your life or anything else in the world, for the next time you might be in a bad mood or facing a difficult situation? --- The positive things about my life can be my fantastic, extended family on my mother’s side that inspired moral and spiritual behavior, a good marriage that lasted for 54 years, which would be in its 56th if my husband would still be here on earth, two sons, a good education that inspired and still inspires me to keep learning lifelong, and I thank my lucky stars that I was never in a war or inside a warzone. Now that I’ve counted my blessings about my personal life, I have so many more blessings to count about our planet. It is a beautiful planet, and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. I couldn’t be anyway. Chances are, I wouldn’t be able to breathe, in the first place. I am truly grateful for all the animals here, wild or tamed, and even the slithering snakes and alligators, although I wouldn’t dare go near them. I am also grateful for the variety of my own species, the humans here. I appreciate the conservatives among us who bring and insist on law and order as well as those who speak up and fight for positive change so things don’t get stale. And I especially favor children who are curious, alert, and ready to take on the world and raise it to a higher moral level that will also become very peaceful, comfortable, and livable.  For: "Space Blog" Prompt: From Seabreeze   ’s "Invalid Item" --- Surely there is more to life than we see as this poet says in her beautiful poem, for we spend our entire lives to enjoy and experience as much of it as we can. While this poet has searched for her cave on a mountaintop, some of us hide our caves inside our souls. While we look for meaning outside in the world, we may also hide, when push comes to shove, inside our personal caves where our true meaning lives and comforts us. Our internal caves are not only sanctuaries but also, they are where we process the world, its ills and its beauty. Sometimes, when we raise our voices in song, or in arts, or in writing, we show a glimpse of that meaning to others. Those of us who are fans of all arts, we love the arts because we find something of ourselves in them, something we discovered in our very own caves, hiding deep down inside our selves. |
