I like the idea that some of the proceeds go to charities. I wish that happened here but Nevada doesn't participate in the lotteries available. I think it has a lot to do with the casino's not wanting any competition.
Happy Anniversary. Sixty years is a milestone. A slip.of the tongue knows no boundaries. Hey, mistakes happen and we survive somehow and mostly by laughing. Wow, you do keep busy.
I'm with you, it's poetic indeed but changes nothing. I hate fireworks, they terrify my cats, keep me up much longer than I want to be especially here in Vegas where the idiots start letting off fireworks at 3 or 4 in the afternoon until three in the morning. Fireworks are dirt cheap and many of our neighbors seem to think it's okay to cover our yard with spent pieces in addition to the noise. It's ridiculous!
The worst lies are the ones you tell yourself that your life will be fine. Write about this in your Blog entry today.
I can’t imagine how anyone can carry on day to day if one thought that things WOULDN’T turn out fine. Isn’t it hope that things will improve, that “this too will pass,”
when going through pain and heartbreak?
I’ve been known as someone who always looks on the bright side of life. My kids even bought me a bracelet with those words engraved on it.
I don’t think that’s lying to oneself, I think when things are bad, looking bleak, is when we either accept the status quo and learn to live with it or find someway of making improvements.
There are those times though we may fool ourselves into believing others see things as we do, or that a partner/boyfriend /girlfriend reciprocates the same feelings.
I hate lies and would never knowingly lie to myself.
