had over 1,200 entries and that was getting close to full. I don't want to trim it by deletion. I did that once, much to my dismay. Will be used more for poetry.
come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)
is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
is for posting personal blog entries in hope that folks will comment and post their blog entries there as well. I will be commenting on all blog entries posted. It's my effort to rebuild a blogging community.
Lots of things checked . That's good, right? Or did you just list those checked? Doesn't matter. Sounds like reasonably good trip. Relax now and recover.
At least the Lions made it forward. The first time since 1991.
It was a winter 80 here with cool shadows. Started with rain by the shore that washed out to sea. The sun tried to dodge the clouds all day, but it was a losing battle. Did flash green as it ducked goodbye heading your way.
SandraLynn Team Florent! You capture the purpose of this blog. Balance is elusive for me. If I'm depressed I can see my accomplishments. If I'm smug I can see the pain. If I think I haven't lived... I must admit that I once was alive.
Ah, this is life, the mundane mixed with moments of wonder. We need to eat so ,we think about it, prepare for it, do it. We need to socialize so, we seek it out wherever we can find it. Sometimes, we need to wander without any goals or purpose. We observe. We marvel. We breathe. Not everything requires scheduling.
PiriPica Norway is near and dear to my heart but I cancelled in 2022 because I was ill and 2023 has been Thailand. If I get to go May 17 2024 I want to be in Lillehammer. Vi får se.
I agree, it's never the same to just have pictures. It's all the different sensory impressions that make up a memory, not just sight. Love hearing about your impressions from Norway, thank you.
I commented regarding hullabaloo22's entry on female empowerment [edited]:
It [female empowerment] has been done many places in the world... since the beginning [of] time.
Beloved women ran Cherokee villages. Even now a Mohawk warrior who will stand up to armed state police fears a clan mother.
Women run many businesses in Taiwan and their female president, Tsai Ing-wen, was re-elected February 11th.
Nations as diverse as Rwanda (61 & 38%), Mexico, Bolivia and Spain have percentages over 40 and even 50 of women in government.
Appearance... very important for young people, both male and female, in Costa Rica. Japanese girls (tourists in Taiwan) seem extremely self-conscious. But so are cookie-cutter American cheerleaders. [Definitely a cultural and consumerism issue].
Models are so much more diverse these days. Look at magazines from 1950 if you question this.
Fear? There are many countries where it is perfectly safe for men and women to go out at any hour of the day. Montana only seems that way but Taiwan, Japan, Portugal, Kosovo? No prob.
All anyone, including me and you, can do is work on these issues locally. That's where any needed change begins. Some parts of the world are light years ahead.
