Just shooting the poop with Lori

He travels the world on the backs of others
Insignificant in his stature and size
His journey carries no mission
Randomly roaming at the will of his host
Sated enough to never question his trek
Life is an open adventure without worry
If the excitement of his dusty trail dulls
Another bus awaits to grant passage
With a furry friend to carry him home
Ah the wonderful life of a flea

Writing also has fewer calories.

Even short entries like this count. It keeps the gas from backing up and... well, no need to go there...

Hope you can check in whenever the urge arises.

Post something on the Newsfeed that you're back. Folks don't read blogs like they used to.

Personally, my life has changed a lot in the last few months.

Instagram, YouTube? I dunno. I want to write some stories placed in Thailand... maybe a screen play... complete with music in Thai/Lao. I've even sang some to myself (melody/images rather than words). My voice left me long ago but that shouldn't stop me from singing.

I wish... I was looking forward to my high-school reunion... but covid. I no longer live close to where I grew up. None of them live here. I have to rely on new connections.

I didn't connect well as a child. Never quite felt at ease in my skin and I wasn't taught how to get along.

So I've spent a lifetime working on connections. Sometimes it worked! No need to mention the other times.

I continue stumbling on my journey.

Glad you went.

I can imagine it would be overwhelming for the senses. I live in quiet and will need to adjust next time I travel. I mostly live in silence and that's not in my forecast.

I'm a bit jealous. I've never been. But as a world traveler I concur with what you say. Enjoy being with your daughter.

Yes, I remember jarts. We were careful. I didn't play marbles. I came to dislike Monopoly. Later I learned to dislike Risk.

I prefered card games. I played to win. Of course, I lost as well.

I'd be pissed and demanding to be paid for answering the phone! I worked 11 pm - 7 am. I did NOT works days. I did NOT work evenings. I slept 8-4 and told friends not to call me unless the house was burning down. I literally could not work if I didn't have enough sleep.

Some at that time thought we should have rotating shifts. The night crew adamantly said NO. My opinion? Rotation is an abuse and so are many schedules for police and hospitals. I've worked both. You want a doc or a cop who's worked 16 hours straight to look after you?

Sated

Being satisfied with life is often frowned upon, as if there is nothing more to accomplish. It seems as if you have thrown in the towel if you admit to being satisfied with life. To most people, satisfied represents a dull and tarnished ring as a prize and they are taught to believe only the shiny brass ring has value. They seem to miss the worth that comes of being sated. It doesn't mean that there are no more dreams to dream. Satisfied, means only that you have worked a lifetime to surround yourself with the things and the people that sate you. It means that a thousand pennies can bring as much wealth as a million when shared with loved ones. It means that dreams shared are often more important than ones attained. From the outside looking in, to some people our window may be streaked or unadorned, and to others our window may portray grandeur of the hearts greatest desire.Satisfaction is as consequential and individualized as the journey itself. But with the wisdom of age, the fulfillment list is narrowed. The things that we believed would sustain us in our twenties have become leaves that blow away in the wind.And part of the joy of achieving satisfaction is taking the time to revel in its joy.
