A third blog? A good idea? A fresh start? A disaster? An omen? ...who knows anything?

I nearly gave up on blogging and WDC. Then life threw another huge curveball and I felt like giving up on everything. But I'm Scarlett...I keep trying and hoping. I know not where this will go but I take it one day at a time.

In response to "Winds of Change "

I was away for eight years and I am back. I know what you me about change. I moved back to the city I was born, four years ago, to care for my mother. Every thing has changed. The world keeps changing. Literally. I understand your concerns over climate change. Many people are in denial because they don't want to look at what me have done and change it. They may own stock in the oil companies or something. They say the world has always changed from ice age to not back and forth over the years in the giant scope of things. Yes that is a fact the earth has always had climate change. That thought gives them the out they need to turn a blind eye to it. I wonder if they also think the trash in the oceans are natural?

In response to "Where to Begin "

In Thailand (when is your next visit...

) I try to dress according to the color of the day. Thursday is orange. Once I dress accordingly I only need to look at what I'm wearing to be reminded.

If I put on the wrong color though...

My life is boring. I have daily routines I keep track of that remind me I'm still breathing. Plus Pan provides me with support. I've lived alone for years so this is good for me. Today we are in Maha Sarakham.

In response to "Shocked"

Hi Scarlett, I'm excited to see you blogging again. Yours has always been a favorite of mine. It's been three years for me since I've blogged here also. In fact, I only log on about once every few months. I miss our old gang of friends and knowing that so many of them have passed away makes this a sad place sometimes.

I need to start blogging again, it was once therapeutic and I could probably benefit from it. It is a stress reliever.

How are the grand monsters? Ours are growing up too fast.

In response to "Shocked"

Welcome back, and I was thrilled to see another Scarlett's List of Five! Like you, I don't spend as much time here as I should. I also can't remember the last time I logged on. You promising to blog more does give me reason to come back more often, though.

Welcome back.

Still trying to keep some interest in blogging with the "Blogging Bliss Newsletters Published"

Also, real carrots or those bags of little things already peeled? I always wonder if those are really carrots.

In response to "Shocked"

Well... Blogville is a Ghost Town, but there are still bloggers around. I post a weekly blog "Porthole"

(which I started in 2019) but update every day. I've given up on being interesting. I just record my blah blah day, I do post my comments and my comments to my comments in "Bibimbap 비빔밥 "

. My old blogs are still active with sporadic entries. Porthole lists them all.

Most of the action is on the Newsfeed, "Question of the Day!"

, "EXPRESS IT IN EIGHT"

(poetry) and certain contests. So... check the Community Newsfeed and make some of the posters favorites so they come up on your personal newsfeed.

I'm forced to make new friends all the time as people come and go.

Carrots... I dunno what to say. Ducks?

In response to "Home Sweet Home "

So glad to see you back in merry old England. Weather still just as dreary, no doubt. I've only been on one continent, but will at least fill up my quota of countries visited in North America when we travel to Mexico on a cruise. Still uncertain about it, though.

I think we are all like you say when traveling. I know that no matter how pleasant the time away from home, I still can't wait to get back. Then start missing where we had visited and wishing we had stayed longer. It's just our contrary nature. In winter we miss the summer, in summer we miss the winter. We have too much rain, then too little rain. We are a grumbling species.

So glad your grands are settling into the the school routine. Our's just started pre-K and are actually doing quite well. We had reservations, but they all seem unwarranted.

It's too bad that repairmen aren't like lawyers and sometimes do "pro bono" work. Then again, maybe its a good thing repairmen aren't like lawyers.

Early Bird

I have always been a night owl. Even as a child I rarely felt tired at night, but hated waking up early in the morning.

Now I often envy the larks of this world. When I read of people watching the sun rise and being able to tackle many tasks during the early hours of the day it makes me want to be a morning person. But as we know old habits die hard and it's difficult to change our routines.

Yesterday was one of those days I wished I'd stayed in bed. I had no specfic plans, but do have a lot of things to catch up with as well as preparations for our trip to Thailand. But it seemed I was destined to achieve very little after unexpected visitors and phone calls. Much as I tend to complain when days go by without any human contact, I can well do without not having a minute to myself to do what I want. It left me feeling frustrated, edgy and rather annoyed if I'm honest as I frequently seem to be the listening ear for other's trivial problems yet am rarely asked how I am getting on.

Last night I retired late as usual, but woke with a jolt after a bizarre dream. It's not often I can't catch sleep again, but this morning was one of those occasions and as it was light outside I decided I might as well get up. I was horrified to see it was only 4.45am.

There was no way I'd go back to sleep, so decided it was an opportunity to get all those unfinished tasks completed, then spend a leisurely afternoon writing, knitting or just watching a decent film. By lunchtime I felt like I'd been up for days and weariness was creeping on. Just as I sat down my son phoned to say they'd all been strawberry picking and were dropping in to bring me some fruit. Two hours later I have a kitchen full of bowls of fruit to sort out, wash, freeze and store, juice stains on the carpet to remove and a sink full of pots to wash.

I think I will be having a very early night and conclude I'm just not cut out to be a lark.
