In response to "My favorite Author"

Very nicely done. Almost a formal cinquain (I tweak formal ones; written a lot).

Speaker:
soft voice, cool head,
maneuvering, calculating, observing.
Wends his way to Paradise one vote at a time.
Johnson.

I don't agree with US House Speaker Johnson of Louisiana on most issues; but,
he stepped up to do a difficult job and his calm cool demeanor may help him move forward.
I vehemently oppose his world view, but 2024 looms. I remind myself to be patient.

As for Austen... different time, different culture, different use of language. I'm more fond of the dark Bronte sisters: Charlotte, Emily, Anne.

Technical note:

I cannot parse this:

Response: I was crushed at a very early age. I grew up 'bittersweet'. The songs I chose so far for the Soundtrack contest reflect that.

At my age I just live with it, embracing both the bitter and the sweet.

In response to "The Spark"

I'm always amazed at how many people choose mountains and beaches. I'm attracted to open meadows or prairie streching to the horizon. When I go to Thailand it will be to the rice fields of Isan, not the beaches of Phuket or the mountains of Chiang Mai (both are beautiful).

But daily life? Maybe living in a cottage in the Cotswolds visiting my neighbors for a cuppa tea. But Lagos in Portugal, Lillehammer in Norway or Novi Pazar in Serbia might do just fine.

In response to "The Cookie She Eats"

I gained weight during the "Neverending Season of Covid", a horror movie I did NOT consent to be a part of.

But... if I can get back to traveling... I sleep better, eat less, walk more, feel better.

As for cookies... they aren't allowed in my place, nor is chocolate and frankly I shouldn't have bought that can of cashews either.

Oh, do I resemble your poem?

In response to "Music What gets your juices going?"

I don't know much about what is good for excercise music. The songs you have chosen should suit you well. Have a great day.

In response to "What I am Passionate about...."

Nursing is very hard work and I admire anyone who can do it. My mother was a nurse and loved it when she was assigned to work with pedriatic patients in the hospital she worked at (they were too small a hospital to have a NICU).

Anyway, this is a beautiful and moving blog post. You clearly love the work you do and are quite good at it. Thank you for sharing.

This is a really nice story.

In response to "How Do You Celebrate Halloween?"

I didn't see this five years ago so I am glad you shared it again. I haven't read that book by Lewis, sounds like it is one I should. Thanks, I will check it out.

In response to "Message in a Bottle"

That was quite interesting, I didn't anticipate the ending at all. I am glad that not everyone is selfish in your world.

I'm Tired.....

I'm tired....
of being 47. I feel 27 some days and I'm surprised when the mirror shows that middle-aged woman's face.

I'm tired....
of being ADD. Of thinking great and wonderful thoughts ( this blog for instance) and finding that I'm selfish, stupid and unrealistic.

I'm tired....
of technology passing me by. I know what a PDA is and I love mine. I know HD and updated to Vista (boy was that stupid). I can text but I hate it. I'd rather talk or email.
And I'm pretty update compared to my peers but why do I feel that I've been left in the dust?

I'm tired....
of being FAT. Not obese. That is a medical term that carries no weight, pardon the pun. Obese is clean and not my fault but FAT is my fault. FAT as in I can hardly tie my shoes and get winded doing it. FAT as in size 3X is tight and 4X is not quite right. FAT as in I'm not sure the gym equipment will hold me. It's frustrating.

I'm tired....
that no matter how much I do at work, it will never be enough. Medicine/Nursing are like that. If you are not 100% perfect bad things happen. Its hard when perfection is the standard and yet, how can it not be? I think I smell burning soul.

I'm tired....
of being the "evil rich". I'm not sure when this happened. We still have a little bit more debt to pay off so Dave Ramsey you will get that freedom call. I grew up lower middle class and I've have worked hard, paid bills and lived life. Accordingly, income went up. So, now, I don't drive a big car. I don't live in a mansion. I don't travel the world but I'm suppose to feel guilty about we have? Explain that to me.

I'm tired....
of myself. Of these musings rattling around. Maybe letting them out will make them seem less grandiose, less stupid, less fearful, less whatever than they are.
