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 😊

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.

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.

June Fourth third blog.

This is my third blog for the Bard’s Hall blogging challenge.

It’s been a strange day. A truck rolled over right in front of us this morning. He was turning onto the on ramp to the Freeway. Luckily we weren’t going onto the freeway but going straight along the highway. If we had turned with the truck I very much doubt I’d be telling you this story.
It made me realise how fragile our lives are. One minute you can be blissfully getting on with your day, in my case going to pick up my new glasses, then the next, you’re spattered across the Highway.
The on ramp is still closed as yet another truck barrelled into the roll over and completely blocked the entrance. There has been no news as to the condition of the drivers yet, but I hope they are not too badly injured.
Anyway I carried on and picked up my new glasses. I don’t know whether all you other spectacle wearers about there, feel the same about replacement glasses as I do. I really hate selecting a new pair for a start. You are shown hundreds of frames and you try them on but of course you can’t see to tell what they look like. I always feel at the mercy of some young assistant who exclaims that they look really great. It’s a harrowing experience. Then the day comes when you pick them up. The store is so brightly lit that it shows every flaw on your face. You slip them on under the gaze of the assistant and look in the mirror. Shock is the first emotion. Who is that old person? Then, especially if the prescription is stronger you get the feeling you’re in another dimension. Anyway I’m wearing them as I write this blog, I think they are an improvement as the reading part of the multi vision glasses are a stronger prescription. My husband liked them, he said I look sophisticated! I might slip my old ones back on for a bit though, I don’t quite look myself.🤓
