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.

In response to "Niagara Falls"

I agree with SandraLynn Team Florent!

Niagara in the winter is spectacular. I went in February, we stayed at the Embassy Suites and our windows overlooked the falls. I saw it at night from the hotel and in the day did the stroll down to see it closer. The boat wasn't going when we were there. My husband wasn't thrilled about the temperatures but the sight was incredible. There's also a butterfly house not far from the falls that is so worth seeing. I couldn't believe how many butterflies surrounded us while we there.

I hope you find a way to get there, you won't be disappointed.

In response to "Bad Poetry"

Oh, I agree. Crutches are not for the faint of heart. I've tripped other unsuspecting, innocent people with them. I've tumbled down stairs attempting to walk with them. They are the closest I'll ever get to stilts. "I'll pick up my sticks and shuffle." Yep, that's all you can do.

In response to "Niagara Falls"

I have been lucky enough to visit Niagara Falls many times and it is always a breathtaking thrill. I've been tossed about in a boat and blessed by the spray/mist. It is really spectacular in our winter with the snow and ice as a sparkling backdrop. I'm sorry this dream has never been a reality for you.

What’s the difference?

Inscrutable. That’s the first thing that comes to mind when staring back at the face of what I imagine to be a huge silverback male gorilla. There are so many similarities between our species it’s almost scary. I’ve always been fascinated by gorillas, chimps and orangutans ever since I saw the movie ‘Gorillas in the Mist.’
The image of this gorilla staring into the camera caused me to pause and stare back into those eyes. What was he thinking? Would he deliberately hurt me for the pure pleasure of dong so? Or is he more intelligent than we may give him credit for?
I believe that this creature, so strong and powerful wouldn’t deliberately destroy simply because he can. Unlike some members of our so called civilised society. It’s unfortunate when we compare them to animals because animals wouldn’t behave the way some human beings do.

There have been many cases where primates have behaved in ways which prove they think and act as humans do. I wonder is it fair we continue to enclose them in zoos as exhibits for us to observe, laugh at, sometime ridicule or tease? My thoughts are that there are so many amazing wildlife series, such as those produced by David Attenborough, where we can see animals behaving naturally in their own habitats, at least while those habitats still exist and mankind doesn’t continue to ignore the needs of other creature with which we share this world.
