In response to "Perth"

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.

Latent Talent

"Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"

Prompt: Talents
What does the word "talent" mean to you? Then, what if you had a hidden talent that you didn't know you had? What do you think that talent could be?

I adore to see children with a natural talent. They’re so joyous and love doing whatever it is their souls tell them to do. It may be drawing or painting, singing or dancing, but somehow, eventually their interest dissipates. Why? Usually because some well meaning adult spots their talent and tells them they could be so much better if they did it this way, or that way. And that is why most adults think they can’t draw or they can’t sing. They were made to feel not good enough.

What could my latent talent be? Well, apparently it was writing and I never knew. I didn’t start writing until I was seventy years old. That was ten years ago. Now I write every day. Not novels but stories and poems, reviews and blogs. Nothing earth shattering, but oh, it’s so much fun! The strange thing I’ve discovered if you tell people you write is they always ask if you’ve written a book and have you had it published? Why don’t they ask those of us who sing around the house why we haven’t made a recording? Or why a golfer isn’t playing in the champions league? No if you write then you must take it seriously.
What I would have loved to have been is an actor or stage singer. Maybe I could have been rich and famous? But I’ve been watching old home videos of myself, husband and our three children when we were all young and beautiful 😂
And I’ve realised what my talent was. It was raising a happy, well adjusted family.
