Angel Whispers

Rated: 18+ · Book · Personal · #2076320

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.

Phuket and Krabi

Must admit I was not sorry to leave Bangkok behind. Pleased to say I have visited it, but would not want to return. Phuket was much preferable with lovely beaches and a great hotel. We are now in Krabi and I have felt a little crabby myself. The hotel has great pools but the rooms aren’t very satisfactory, particularly when sharing with messy kids. There seems to be a lot of mozzies residing in the rooms too and we now have bites on our bites. Yesterday we took the boat trip from hell. Beautiful scenery but potentially very dangerous. The U.K. health and safety department would have a fit. I’m just relieved to have survived and will try not to complain about the British rules and regulations ever again. I can’t say I’ve fallen in love with Asia and there are many things that upset me including the many poor neglected animals. But it’s a new experience to add to my list and there have been some very enjoyable times. I shall however be relieved to get home next week though no doubt will then miss being in Asia. Contrary beings aren’t we?

Surreal in Bangkok

If someone had told me I’d be posting this from an apartment 32 storeys high in Bangkok I’d probably never have believed them. But then a lot of my life events could never have been anticipated, particularly over the last couple of decades. And still the bizarre and unexpected continue. I guess I should be grateful in some ways it’s not a boring existence.

Thailand is much as I envisaged it, though that doesn’t mean I feel confident or able to cope with everything. The grand monsters take everything in their stride and seem fearless, but then they are well travelled creatures and used to Asia, Their main concerns are food, WiFi and what times the swimming pools are open, but I guess that’s pretty normal.

We’ve had some incidents and accidents along the way, some very funny and others rather scary. I won’t say it’s relaxing or orderly, but certainly interesting and unpredictable and I’m pleased that I can still embrace new experiences with an open mind.

So far I’ve witnessed traditional ceremonies in the quietest, poorest rural areas and now the manic hustle and bustle of a crazy city. To be continued...hopefully.
