Such a great use of the words! So sorry you have to go through with all that with the aftermath of the operation. I hope and pray to heal perfectly and very soon.
I so like people who can sing! I sound like a crow to myself when I try. Great that you're going out into the nature. I wish though, the concussion had not happened. So sorry you had to go through all that. I sometimes miss my words, too, and I didn't have a concussion. I'm just aging. Luckily when I write, we have Google and an online thesaurus.
When I was a teenager I read Shirley MacLaine’s book You Can Get There From Here, in which she devotes a section to time she spent in Bhutan. It fascinated me.
While I respect & admire the aspects of Buddhism I know of, I’d be a bad Buddhist. I like earthly human stuff too much 😊
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.
Is success a result of luck, or hard work? Neither? Both?
Oh my, that’s something to ponder on. I’ve often heard the saying: “the harder I work the luckier I become,” and thought it true.
Working hard though is not a certainty of success. My father worked hard from being 14 years old and never had much money. I can’t remember him having time off for sickness or for long holidays. Of course he worked in a family business and it’s been an observation of mine that such people are more conscientious, that, or they have no choice.
Some people can’t deal with luck, they might win the lottery but don’t seem happy until they’ve spent it all and are back to the status quo.
I think many successful people would have been so, no matter what. They have a drive and a feeling of entitlement others don’t.
