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.
What is the most useless skill you have? The most valuable?
I have the usual home making skills which are invaluable but really tedious. Today’s generation will be learning different skills to ones I learned as a kid. At school we were expected to learn to sew and do embroidery. The boys did metal and woodwork I’m not sure these skills are valued as much today. The most useless skill I learned to do as a six year old was to balance a broom on the end of one finger. Funnily enough no one ever asks me to demonstrate. The best place to find useless skills is in the Guinness Book of Records. I was quite envious of the man who was famous for being the fastest to walk 50 yards on his hands holding a football between his legs. I’ll start practicing tomorrow!
