Sandy Supposes....

by SandraLynn

Rated: 18+ · Book · Personal · #2017254

My random thoughts and reactions to my everyday life. The voices like a forum.

I do not know quite what happened or when , but my hubby and I now qualify for seniors' discounts at some venues. This creates a quandary; in order to save money, but not face, we have to admit to our age. HMMMM..... We definitely do not consider ourselves to be old. In this day and age ,when people as a whole are living longer and healthier lives why are 'young seniors', those in their fifties, like moi, considered 'old'?? It's so true that age is just a perception! "Maturity" is very objective/subjective, and I object! Whew, a few years have skittered by since I composed this biography block. Those "fifties" are in the rear view mirror and they are distant, fond memories. Oh, I do not plan to stop writing any time soon.

In response to "A Better Place?"

Very nicely written. I am a big communicator and if more people would put forth a better effort, it would be a better place. Little acts of kindness truly goes a long way. You have identified it well. I can feel your sincerity coming through your writing. I would like to see more of the younger crowd helping or being involved with the older folks. I know my day goes better when someone has said hi or gives a waves.

Thanks for writing this piece,

Seabreeze

In response to "A Better Place?"

I agree. Small actions, anywhere, at any time, matter. Kindness matters.

In response to "I'll Never Tell"

I was raised with secrets. Internalized that keeping secrets was important to my survival. Yes, I have secrets.

I'm a no-one but I've been the object of others' entertainment. Very damaging.

In response to "Significant Indeed"

I don't care for dark British/Dutch humor. Dislike Monty Python as well. Give me a bittersweet French or Japanese movie or a sad Portuguese song. I'm more introspective.

You were very fortunate. I never really fell into anyone's arms.

I need to reassess my needs. My 'romantic' efforts in Thailand had limited success.

Sounds like a wild ride! Definitely one I could only do virtually.

Happy June! May was so fun!

In response to "May 31st Jasper, Alta. Day 2"

A washing machine is an accurate descriptive for how your body is pummeled with each wave as you're drawn down and then pushed up again. I've been a dozen times and if my shoulder wasn't like it is I would gladly go again. I'm like you very familiar with canoes and kayaks although my preference is a kayak on lakes. I used to take mine out with a small cooler bag with lunch inside and water. My other bag was a dry bag, it held my camera in addition to whatever book I was reading. If my brain was functioning I had sunscreen, depended on my coffee intake for sure. We must have been fish at one point in our life.

Wow! The aurora borealis is my kind of nightlife.

In response to "May 30th Jasper, Alberta, Canada"

I agree with you about the aurora borealis, I don't dare blink. They're just so glorious in color and the way the air feels as you stand there awe struck. I'm equally glad these calories don't count, I feel like I've eaten enough for two people maybe three.

In response to "May 29th Puenta Arenas Day 2"

I've wondered the same thing when I read about all the discoveries documented and brought back by ship. Paper that didn't crumble or mold from all the temperature variances.

I'm not as comfortable storing things in the cloud myself, I have external hard drives that I transfer data too and then disconnect from my computer so it is hack proof. Not that I really have data anyone would want but it is personal to me.

But then I think about the close living quarters on a ship how did anyone have room for storage to bring back? Darwin was indeed lucky on the HMS Beagle.

Hard to believe how glorious that view is. I hope man never destroys it as they have in so many other places.

That waterfall is my favorite of all the ones we've seen.

One Month Later...

PROMPT March 30th

Congratulations on making it to the last day of the competition! What was your favorite prompt from the last month? What was the most rewarding aspect of participating in the competition?

Whew! I've survived another month of blogging without my brain exploding. I kinda like the thought process of a daily blog post. I never know what I'm going to 'write' until I sit at my computer and stare at the blank screen.

Do I have a favourite prompt? Hmmm... each one forced me to come up with something.
Describing and reminiscing about board games made me laugh. I enjoyed revisiting memorable vacations. I believe I was creative with the finding of a four-leaf clover prompt. Being asked to consider the passage of time between 2010 and now caused some reflection. No, I cannot narrow it down to just one.

Rewarding aspect? I enjoy reading the various comments and the discussions that are generated. I tip my hat to my fellow bloggers. Merci!
