For the avoidance of doubt... Yes... I definitely have an opinion...

Welcome to my Blog!!

Having an opinion is better than not having a thought of your own.
I have many of both....
Pull up a pew and grab a hot, steaming mug of your choice.

In response to "May 23 2025 - The Heart Lies... all the time"

When I think of the heart won't lie I think of relationships that have placed honesty as a vital piece of its existence. Like you when I was younger, I also was in a toxic relationship. My brain told me get out but my heart kept telling me my children need their father, a family unit. I can do this. I did survive until they were adults before I divorced him but I promised myself I would never lie to myself or anyone else to protect them or to make a situation easier.

I recommend tai chi if you're looking for ways to calm the heart and mind. If I become excited and my heartbeat increases, I use the breathing exercises to calm it down. They say meditation works too but I find it harder to zone out.

Wow! This story is awesome! It has daring, creepiness, and excitement, and it ends with a heartbreak.
It should be made into a movie.

Being able to laugh at oneself is a life skill, it makes us better people in my opinion.

"Who knew oranges objected to being squeezed" hahahaha I'd have been there laughing with you, and helping to pick them up, probably adding to the conversation about starting a riot or a fruit revolution....

This is also the type of thing that happens to me - I would go beetroot red from embarrassment as well, but I'd also be giggling like a fool because... why not.

We definitely do take ourselves too seriously. In the grocery store today, I picked up an orange today and the display toppled. My face was red, but I started laughing as I began picking them I said, very loudly, "Who knew oranges objected to being squeezed. I should have asked first them before I groped. Thank you for reminding me of my manners." Some people stared but a couple actually helped me picked them up. One of the people said, she gets nervous every time she reaches for an orange or an apple.

Super!
I didn't know about the ink and the fish and chips wrapper. I learned something.
"The more you look at us as a species, the more you realise how utterly ridiculous we are"
Absolutely! I think we take ourselves much too seriously. My uncle used to show me a picture of the universe as was known possibly 70 years ago. In there, earth was a tiny dot. "Now think of you in this dot and decide how important anything here is," he used to say. I never forgot that.

Oh yeah, doubt is definitely our sixth sense warning us.

So true about the questions and the answers.

Awesome responses to Voltaire's quote.

"My dilemma is that my face has subtitles and a voiceover." Love it! Tea and chocolate, too.
And shall I say, me too, here, possibly with just about everything you mentioned!

May 21 2025 - Flash Fiction

Prompt: China Hutch, Roses, Rain, Pearls, and Crystal. Use these words in your Blog entry today.

Story time:

My grandmother’s china hutch stood on the back wall and housed her best bone china dinner set. The one that only came out on special occasions. It was still as imposing as I remembered, though not as tall. It had been passed down through the generations and was finally mine. Although, I would swap it for one more conversation with the family matriarch in a heartbeat. I ran my hand across the buffet’s marble surface. It had seen better days and needed some care, but the wooden inlays remained intact – the carved roses clearly defined – nothing some bees wax and a good buff could not fix.

The rain had started an hour ago, followed by the hail, which was now ricocheting off the patio, through the open sash window, littering the dinning room floor like a carpet of white pearls.

“Water will warp the wood!” I heard my grandmother say in my mind. It brought a smile to my face to remember how much she loved this wooden monstrosity.

I placed the packing boxes on the floor and started to pack the contents of the hutch; carefully wrapping each lead crystal champagne flute individually with sheets of tissue paper so they would survive the trip. The packers would be here shortly to move the last of the furniture into storage, but the hutch and its contents was coming home with me. Another generation taking care of it. Just like my grandmother had wanted.
