I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon.
You have lovely memories of your library. You must have lived close enough to go on your own. I loved my local library too. I went on Saturday morning with my dad.My favourite books were Little Women, What Katy did, Heidi, and any Dickens books.
Happy 10th WDC Anniversary, SandraLynn Team Florent!! I'm sorry I can't battle alongside with you, dear Florent. Go forth and go well! You are doing excellent!
WWAD-what would Andre do! Maybe he could get a 3D-printer, make bracelets with WWAD on them and sell them on the side.
We get our dogs braided rope toys to chew on and use dental sticks to help clean their teeth. Perhaps Andre would enjoy a nice braided chew rope, and if someone would make a banana flavored dental stick, he could use it for a swizzle stick in his drink and chew on after he downs it.
My grandgiggles now ask if I'm wearing bubble wrap when I venture forth for a meander/walk/stroll. I thought a clumsy monkey could be conceivable and that he'd be told the same thing I am. Be careful. What is that? Accidents happen, to me any way.
QueenNormaJeanGreeneggs&vegham You win! I've never been shot at, well, not directly. I once experienced the back window of my car being shot out as I drove along a highway. I believe it was a hunter's errant bullet. I wrote about us accident prone people. I refer to it as O.U.C.H. I believe I intended that to mean Our Unique Clumsiness Hurts. We create our own writing material.
Oh come on - I've had so many weird accidents - last one I swear I tripped on a feather. Broke 2 bones in my hand, cast for 4 weeks and now I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow. Cannot move the blasted hand at all.
Car accidents, been shot at, blew my knee getting into a truck. falling down drunk and waking up looking like a prize fighter when I had to go to a family funeral. I've had a few good ones.
I'm the accident-prone one around these parts - although most people would guess my most-used word falls into the "swear" category, it's actually "ouch."
May 22nd Prompt: Write about the biggest challenge you have faced and how you overcame it. Have I ever experienced adversity? Yes. Has it proved to be all-consuming and insurmountable? No. Challenges come and go. Some intersect and some seem to wait for their turn to be front and centre. None of them hang around forever. Each one has monopolized my time, my attention, my effort. I've learned the "this too shall pass" philosophy. Have I developed a thick skin, callouses, or erected some kind of shield? I don't believe I have. I cannot conjure a 'biggest challenge' to write about. So far in my existence I've not experienced a problem that caused me to curl up and admit defeat. Day by day I place one foot in front of the other and carry on. Ack, this sounds bleak. I am blessed to have many reasons to continue living. Family and friends, hobbies and curiosity keep me interested. Engaging in relationships can be an intriguing challenge, but the investment pays off in spades. There's always one more engrossing book to read, one more scrumptious cookie to eat, one more perfect cup of tea to sip, one more heartfelt hug to dispense, one more chin wag to enjoy, one more shimmering sunset to marvel at, one more sparkling snowfall to enthrall, and one more tear-inducing stomach-cramping , gasping laugh to share.
