I hate crutches, they make my armpits and shoulders both hurt. And I've almost fell down the stairs trying to navigate with them more than once.

Nice job!

In response to "Old Dog. New Tricks"

That's so funny. It's also true of cats. My older cat won't climb up but now that our kitten does, he's been climbing and exploring places he never did before. Sometimes they just need the right incentive.

In response to "Is there an answer?"

People here in the United States were warned about climate change years ago. Our Vice President in 1993, Al Gore, was an environmentalist. He talked incessantly about the issue warning something needed to be done to avoid destroying our planet. People laughed at him denying there was any such problem. He was right, they were wrong. I need to answer this prompt if I have time today. Have a good one!

In response to "Love "

59 years is incredible.

I can't imagine a love that intense either. And I'm very much in love with my husband. It's my second marriage, we've been together 20 years and married 16 years. If I had foolishly stayed in my first marriage it would have been 50 years. I left him before our 30th.

I've read a lot of his sonnets and wondered the same thing about the woman. I didn't realize there were 100 of them Kåre Enga in Udon Thani

that's a lot of mushy stuff.

I'm sorry I knew that but blanked it out with all the chaos. Good luck with the Surgery!

I’m not involved in GOT Lyn. I have surgery next week and will be missing in action fora week or so. I just reviewed Lilly’s contribution last night.

I have never been able to embroider, though I tried valiantly in youth - a lovely skill.
That's heartbreaking, your shrunken jumper gift -

In response to "Love "

There are different types of love. Her in the western colony we obsess with romantic/sexual love. The sex, however, must never be directly shown; we're cultural prudes.

Neruda wrote 100 sonnets for his future wife.

I mostly love (pine) from afar.

In response to "Love "

Hi, enger
I wonder how many sonnets Neruda wrote. She must have been quite a gal!
Love is such a complex concept. What is love? The oft asked question to which no one has an answer. Would it be to sacrifice oneself to save another? I can accept a parent might do that to save a child. However that reminds me of the time I caught my ten year old son poking a lighted stick into a jerry can of petrol. I screamed, “don’t do that!” And I ran from the garage! So much for a mother’s love.

Prompt: It is easier to solve other people's problems because you aren't emotionally involved. Write about this in your Blog entry today.

I agree with the sentiment of the prompt wholeheartedly. It’s that dreadful churning in the stomach and the constant going over and over a problem in the mind that can stop one from finding a solution to a problem. Being unaffected personally by those feelings and worries makes finding solutions to other’s problems easier.
You may advise a person to seek a confrontational conversation with someone who may be causing their worries, but then ant the end of the day its not you who has to face that challenge, and that is far easier said than done. Or you may come out with the usual platitudes such as ‘this too will pass,’ or ‘it’s always darkest before the dawn.’ Both of which I’ve found myself saying this week!
They were my mother’s sayings by the way.🤔
I’ve learned to try not to give advice but sometimes it’s difficult, but I have found it’s not usually advice people are seeking, more of a sounding board to bounce their problems off.
Counselling is an art. A counsellor never gives advice, just listen, reflects back, until the client realises themselves what needs to be done.
And when all’s said and done, who listens to advice anyway?
