A new blog to contain answers to prompts

Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas " became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one.

Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.

In response to "Days of the Week and Scammers of the Elderly"

I refuse to answer calls that I do not recognize (trying to convince my husband of the same). I just immediately hit the silence button, and let it ring away. if they leave a voicemail, I simply delete it.

In response to "Days of the Week and Scammers of the Elderly"

They still call on Sunday but not as much as they do the other six days. I get bombarded with emails telling me the item I ordered just needs my address confirmed or a contact number, nope not happening.

My ex boss used to say when I came back after a sick day, did you enjoy your play day? I would respond, let me check the school field trip calendar so I can see when you're the busiest and I'll schedule my next play day. He would glare at me but soon learned I wasn't intimidated by him in the least.

Scammers are scum, plain and simple. I wonder who they think they will con. Why do they do it? Imagine what they could accomplish. Divert that effort into something legitimate.

In response to "On Aspirations and Determination"

I agree that there are times to let go of some old dreams. It may not be healthy to hold onto them, for many reasons. I also agree that our dreams or aspirations often change as we grow.

In response to "On Aspirations and Determination"

I agree that seeking new aspirations are essential to our growth, because stewing over and over on our older aspirations or failed goals makes us stagnant.

I know from my own life circumstances forced change, some were for the better and others not so much but during those times I learned skills I never imagined learning and those skills have opened unexpected doors and opportunities for me.

In response to "Truth and Lies"

Ha that is a good answer - sometimes I say "Would you like the real answer or the fake answer" and then they stare at me aghast, look awkwardly, and do not know what to say. Sigh. Sometimes it's just easier to say "fine thanks how are you". I try to use a fake tone....

In response to "Love planted a rose..."

"Love is not accidental." Beautiful, logical sentiments here. Yes, I believe love is intentional and it requires nurturing.

In response to "Truth and Lies"

Jellyfish~Happy New Year 2026

Unfortunately, not only the society you are in but possibly all societies here on earth expect and accept such tiny white lies. There is no escape from that. For such expectations, I try to sidestep them, by saying something like, "Oh, ya?" Then I add something totally unrelated. It feels so weird to ask a person, "How are you?" and then expect them to say, "Fine, thanks." Sometimes I reply to "how are you", with "As you see me,"

And possibly, they see me the weirdo that I am.

I'll Read...

Prompt:
What books are on your reading list?

------

I don't normally use a reading list. This means any book I could be interested in could be in the running. But I do buy or download books I could be interested in when I come across them. Making a list is pressuring myself because I'd be uncomfortable about something that says I have to do it. At least, this is the meaning that my mind conjures up. My only real list is a daily one I make in the morning or the night before, to give my everyday life some routine. so I don't forget to do anything important.

When it comes to books, I read a lot, which means one book at a time, without others in the waiting line or maybe one or two if I'm really interested. This is because I tend to rush my reading if there's a long list. Still, at this time I have a few books in mind.

As of today, I am now reading The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates, a hard-cover book gifted to me last month. What I want to read next is Mes amis, mes amours by Marc Levy. Then, in the waiting, comes The Cairo Trilogy by Naguib Mahfouz, which is a three-book series.

This is, if before or in the middle of these books I mentioned, another book pops up and grabs me in its claws.
