What am I Doing Here? (Book) https://www.Writing.Com/main/profile.php/blog/jumacu Day 4172 How I celebrate Mother's Day. Oh, I am not a mother. I wish I was but, life is cruel sometimes. Well, my mother is dead from Alzheimer's Disease and cancer at the same time. She died at her home with her caregivers. My mother-in-law died in an assisted living place a few years ago. There is no celebration for us. I texted some friends who were mothers. They responded. I did not send texts to those I acknowledged them as mothers last year. They ...[Read Full Post] Mon, 11 May 2026 15:17:10 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1115552 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1115552 Silent Room Part 2 I fixed my coffee and settled down at the table to go through the last few days to see if Craig had mentioned something in particular. He tried to keep me up to date on some important things that a good child needed to do. I heard about the school exams that he would begin preparation for. As a freshman in college, he wanted to be the best in his class. He even volunteered to tutor some of his friends who would lacked his discipline to ...[Read Full Post] Thu, 07 May 2026 20:50:43 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1115295 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1115295 Day 4164 Every day that I walk into my son's room, there is silence. He left to go on active duty for his country a week ago. His dream was to become a leader of the military. I had thought that I had heard him in his room, a number of times playing computer games like he did when he was younger. But when I stopped at his door, the sound faded away. I opened the door to check, and I only saw sunshine coming through the window. His room was or...[Read Full Post] Tue, 05 May 2026 12:58:09 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1115124 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1115124 May 1, 2026 A what? Cashless society?? This is a plan to put people in the funny house! But seriously, the idea is one that could put some businesses, ie...banks out of business. The government has already sent the dear brown, round penny packing. And if we are left with one little card, the thought is unimaginable. You lose that card, purse or wallet and you are doomed. Not having to make coins, or print bills would save the government money, but put so...[Read Full Post] Fri, 01 May 2026 11:52:52 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1114851 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1114851 Day 4157 "Where am I.......?" sounds like a prompt to me. And why not. Spatially? Work related? In the book I am reading? "Where am I in life. I am older than many people. I have saved enough to take a trip. And I really want to put my work together to get published. That's not asking too much, right? I want to do something before body or mind calls it quits. I also want to do a little for myself that I can write or brag ab...[Read Full Post] Sun, 26 Apr 2026 17:38:16 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1114406 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1114406 I am going to share something that may not have a connection or prompt given. But April 19, was special to the citizens of Oklahoma City. Not sports, weather or elections. As you read this, I just want to let you know that this day is important to me and my husband.. Title: "Ordinary Day" It was an ordinary day, Wednesday, April 19, 1995. The sky was clear, the air was cool. People went to work in a building called Alfred P. Murrah Feder...[Read Full Post] Mon, 20 Apr 2026 23:41:27 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1113928 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1113928 Day 4138 Answer: the city was overrun by 'crickets!!!' No joke. My husband and I went shopping at a small mall. Along the sidewalk, were not a hundred, but 'hundreds' of those little critters. And when we went into a store that had automatic sliding doors, a dozen or more hopped into that store. My husband and I walked into a particular store and shopped quickly. We hurried out to our car that had no crickets on it. That n...[Read Full Post] Wed, 08 Apr 2026 16:03:17 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1112771 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1112771 Day 4127 How many chances? And the only certain answer is 'Depends---' Clarification: on the situation, how long I have known that person, how deep my feelings were hurt, how many lies they have told me and maybe if there is no chance in reconciliation. There are people who are habitual teasers. They like to get a reaction that shows something said or done has hit a nerve. They are sometimes cruel in their pranks. They knew that the words or...[Read Full Post] Sat, 28 Mar 2026 12:22:18 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1111740 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1111740 {photo:1080277} New season time. Well I think that both seasons have their good or bad points. And to start off, there is the clothes situation. If one has a closet big enough, they can divide it into sections for all four seasons. But here's the caveat. Things change. My weight gain and loss is almost like a yo-yo. I have not stabilized the one is good for all of my body shapes. My activity level does not burn the necessary calori...[Read Full Post] Wed, 08 Apr 2026 16:05:30 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1111121 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1111121 Day 4117 [photo:1070288}} SPRING S PRING IS BEAUTY, WARMTH, AND NEWNESS P LANTS ARE FROM SEEDS, THEN SPROUTS AND GROWS R AIN IS FROM THE SKY, CLOUDS, AND SHOWERS I NSECTS ARRIVE, FLY AND LAY EGGS N ESTS ARE FOR BIRDS, SQUIRRELS, AND ANTS G REEN IS IN THE GRASS, TREE LEAVES AND RAINBOWS ALL OF THIS IS FOR YOU, ME AND THE EARTH. ...[Read Full Post] Wed, 18 Mar 2026 00:21:04 EDT https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1110912 https://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/1110912
