Alcoholism is a scourge we also have in the family, you’re not alone by any means.

In response to "Family Secrets "

sorry
I didn't have that problem with a parent, thank God. My oldest son was an alcoholic who refused help or to seek help.

In response to "Identity Theft Leaves You Vulnerable "

Triggered my memory of having a Bank of Montreal account, ages ago.

I use a local bank where they know my face; but, identity theft goes far beyond that. One thing about WDC I like is that much of my writings are here which gives me a fighting chance to retrieve what I've written and a chance to prove that anything I've written is mine.

As for passwords... I can't remember them all. So, yeah, some are far too simple and others are written down. I use my WDC account daily. That helps.

It's okay Lyn's a Witchy Woman

. I actually like the song... and sometimes its good to get the blues out of you so that the sun can shine again.

Those two songs are my blues tunes.

After I listen to them it is often good to listen to something upbeat like Overcomer.

In response to "Say Something.... I Was Just Joking"

"I was just joking!" would be my pick too. I have some family members who deliver horrible insults then act like anyone who reacts without a hearty laugh has no sense of humor and / or is stupid. It's mean all around.

Big hugs on the song triggers.

Yes, number 8 is senseless. It only shows how flimsy and empty the ideas or the talk of the person who says it. Mostly, I shrug such cliches off.

The video is... triggering.

Sometimes I feel like a ghost... there but not there.

Yeah... #8 is cruel.

Cape Town, South Africa - Blogging World Tour

Blogging Circle of Friends

Day 2836
Prompt: Pick out one of these things to do in Cape Town https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g312659-Activities-Cape_Town_Central_Wes... and write a story, article, or poem about it.

The natural world calls to me
And I find myself walking the rugged shore line
And scampering over craggy rocks
To find myself on fine sand
Shared with tuxedo-ed birds
Who languish in the winter sun.
So different from their southern neighbours
Who huddled in the snow and ice
These penguins dip and glide in the surf
Like they are on some foreign vacation
Like me, they avoid the touristy traps
And save their money
For more authentic ventures.

When I do head back into town
I venture to the market's of Hout's Bay
And wander the stalls
Filled with arts and crafts
Made by local artists and artisans
I am drawn to the colourful
Vividness and diversity of the place
As night draws us in
Music fills the air
Lulling me into a place
Where I feel at peace
And one with my my heart
In this place
Still cut by its past.
