In response to "Release the stress"

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.

In response to "Bhutan "

I looked up Buddhism vs. Christianity. It was enlightening to actually see the differences.

In response to "Bhutan "

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 😊

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.

In response to "Cooper Pedy"

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.

BCoF smaller prompt: Let this quote inspire your entry:

“ i had a dream when I was 22 that someday i would go to the region of ice and snow and go on and on till i came to one of the poles of the earth”― Ernest Shackleton
Have you ever dreamed about seeing one of the poles? Where's your ideal dream place? This entry needs to be minimum of 100 words.

I’ve always had a dream that someday I would travel from wherever I may be to see Niagara Falls.
Ever since I was a very small child I’ve been overwhelmed by huge bodies of water. Large waves would scare me and until this day I can’t turn my back on the ocean. So when I discovered a place such as Niagara even existed and heard the stories of bravado or stupidness of the people who would dare to go over the edge in a barrel, I couldn’t believe it. The power of endless water, a never ending amount of water suddenly coming to the edge of its journey and falling, falling down to the river below still terrifies and thrills.
When we married so many years ago I expressed my desire to one day to go and see Niagara Falls for myself. It was a pipe dream, we hardly had enough money to feed ourselves. But it’s always been a one-day. dream. So many of our compatriots have been. We’ve seen their videos and photographs and I’ve been envious.
This may sound like a strange destination to desire so much as most of you who read this are at least in the right hemisphere but from here in Australia it’s a mighty long way.
Anyway needless to say after nearly sixty years of marriage we still haven’t been to Niagara. I don’t think it will happen now. But I still love waterfalls and may have to be content with the ones more accessible.
