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.
Start your entry today with the words: “I used to believe...”
I used to believe in Santa Clause. I used to believe in “happily ever after,” too. I do hope that children still believe in these things but the world is a different place from when I was a child and was allowed and encouraged to believe.
Children are too knowing these days. The age of innocence has been lost. The internet has brought massive change to the lives of our young and not always in a good way. I watched a programme on television last night where children around 10 to 12 years of age were asked a series of questions. One of them was “What’s the rudest thing you’ve Googled?” and “What did they know about sex?” It was quite amusing really but I felt a little sad too. They were funny and happy to attempt answering but comparing them to how I was at their ages they seemed so worldly. Perhaps it’s not that bad, I don’t know.
