COMMUNICATION IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT!

by Seabreeze

Rated: E · Book · Writing · #2184267

Thoughts, we all have them. What is yours?

What is on your mind? I love all type of topics and will talk about almost anything! So, what is happening with you lately?

Come, tell me about yourself. What excites you about writing? What other things do you do: Art, music, animals?

I have to agree with you. Home is my favorite place as well. However, I do like to travel on the occasion and get a change of scenery, but it's always the best to walk back through the home doors!

That's unacceptable regarding the parking situation. To be told you're allowed to park someplace, and then not allowed to park there due to a requirement that clearly should have been mentioned in the letter. I usually use the valet parking option for my eye appointments, as it's free and reasonably convenient.

In response to "Blog Harbor Prompt #6"

I used to go horse riding as a teenager. We lived in the city and I begged my parents to let me have a horse, and I swore I would look after it. Fortunately, they said no because that would never have worked out

I used to love horses though and I spent all my spare time at the stables, which were a half-hour bike ride away. But it's different when you chose to help muck out the stables when it suits you compared to having to do it because it's your horse, in the freezing cold or when it's raining.

I haven't been near a horse since then. I would probably be a bit scared of them now.

Great advice! As I reach the "mid-career" level of my life, I find myself thinking more and more about retirement and what planning I should do now to make sure that those later years are properly financed. But I'm honestly surprised at how many people my age don't have ANY retirement savings. Or much savings. Many of them are the result extenuating life circumstances (which no one can control), but there are quite a few who just "haven't gotten around to thinking about it" yet. That terrifies me because, as you said, starting earlier in life is the best way to ensure later success!

I had heard of Narcolepsy but I didn't really know what it meant, so I found this very informative! I can imagine that it must have been quite scary at times.

I was struck by your choice to compare dogs with horses. I love dogs, mostly the mutt variety. I've always thought they are the most down-to-earth animals. We always had a dog when I was growing up.

My wife is a cat person of the first magnitude. So for the past 12 years I've been getting to know a number of cats. Our one cat remaining has grown on me. My wife also loves horses. I wish her all the best ... but my horses remain on the television.

I guess it's the changes in life that makes us grow. And by the way, keep it up with the Blog Harbor prompts.

In response to "Poetry Forms"

I'm not sure I have the bones to be a real poet. But I do enjoy dabbling with the many forms there are. Fourteen years ago I joined a group called Poetic Explorations. It no longer exists, but its purpose was to have members write a poem using a different form each week for 50 weeks. I actually made it through week 29 before life interruptus happened.

My efforts are in a folder called "Poetic Explorations"

. I really enjoyed writing form poetry.

I'm a member of "The Poet's Place "

, but haven't been as active as I might be.

Enjoy your poetic endeavors.

In response to "What Are You Thankful For?"

1. Coffee in the morning.

2. My daughter lives near me and helps when I ask. Or she volunteers. She's truly a blessing.

3. I don't have a car, which is okay. No car payment or car insurance.

4. I'm thankful for my view of the lake.

5. I adore my grandsons.

6. Thanks to my mom. She helps me out financially so I can live in a nice apartment.

7. I'm thankful for my friends here. I have no others in the real world.

8. I'm thankful for cloudy weather and cool temperatures.

9. Even though my budget is tight, I'm thankful for what I do have.

10. My oldest brother is my rock.

Yeah it is amazing all the things you can do once you upgrade, I'm happy with my upgrade.

Blog Harbor #23

Prompt #23: Do you have any family stories from previous generations? Share one if you have it, and/or tell us a story about your life that you'd like your descendants to retell for years to come.

Family stories? Nothing real exciting or that I could hand down to my grandchildren. However, just a little story about my dad's mother. She was a tiny lady from what I understand as I never met her but I understand she was powerful. Her husband, my grandfather, was a blacksmith. But he liked his drink and I guess would come home drunk many times. He gave her grief once and she took a frying pan to him. Now frying pans back in those days were iron. I am sure that hurt a lot and from what I understand, she never had anymore trouble from him again.
