Wow, you could easily sell your house and travel for the rest of your life.

Kind of like me, I live in Los Vegas but we live in the southwest part of the city about 35 minutes with traffic from the strip where all the casinos are located. It's like a whole other planet. We go four times a year to see the botanical gardens at the Bellagio Hotel and that's it.

Vegas has been cooler the last several winters and had more rain than usual.

Hi, zLyn, thankyou. I’d forgotten I’d written this story until you took the tour to Coober Pedy. What a strange place. Thank you, I hope everyone enjoyed it there and at least found an Opal to take home.

Change occurs when we least it expect it. I know for me seeing the world again through my children's lives helped me grow as I'm sure it did you. Thank you for sharing your personal journey.

In response to "Tricky words"

It's no different than my four children, politics are better not mentioned.

We had a nuclear power plant in Maine, the alarms would go off and it felt like death every time it happened. My first husband worked there quite often as a machinist and there were too many incidences where he had absorbed to much radiation and would have to wear special suits and walk for hours to sweat out the excess. Sometimes it would take over a week that he and co-workers were kept in isolation rooms until they were safe. Nuclear power plants come with more risks than they tell people.
The one in Maine had to be closed and sealed because of the reactor cracking. So many families in that area had cancer afterwards, it's terrifying what lies ahead.

Maybe Australia is luckier than we are here in the USA. Mining and exporting uranium is something, but the danger of it when put to use is another. As you said, "I’ve found it’s best to not get into political discussions with anyone." Imagine me with two sons who are the exact opposites of each other in every sense of the word. I always walk on eggshells.

I hope you get to go in person someday! It's still possible.

Though I hear there are amazing waterfalls in Australia.

Eureka

PROMPT November 25th

Write about tinkering, brainstorming, or the process of creation. What brings out your creativity?

I must admit I do like a good prompt. I read the prompt, store it in my brain and forget about it until Eureka! Out pops an idea, or several, for a story. I don’t know how that works but it seems to for me.

I find staring with dialogue always gets me going too. It’s like walking into the middle of someone having a conversation on the phone. You need to fill in the replies and before you know it you are embroiled in a situation. Although someone told me it’s a no no to start with dialogue, I prefer it to descriptions of the scene where the story takes place.

Other times I simply start to write, not knowing where I’m headed and before I know it I’m off and running. That’s great when that happens, it’s exciting.

Peaceful

PROMPT November 24th

Think back to a time when you felt completely at peace. What made you feel that way?

Well, I’ve just been for a three mile walk with my dog Lucy. I realised I was at peace walking along, thinking my own thoughts, even though I was hot. My poor dog just wanted to get home. It’s been about 35degree C today.
I just had a thought. You know that moment when you’re just going under, the moment when the anaesthetic is starting to kick in? That’s peace! You don’t know whether you’ll wake up again and don’t actually care. 😂

I like getting in my car, the radio station tuned to my favourite programme, driving on my own. That’s when I feel peaceful too.

On reflection I find peace in all sorts of situations. I think it’s all a matter of turning off the rest of the world and trying to be in the moment, whether it’s gardening, listening to a podcast or walking.
