thoughts, words, deeds

Rated: NPL · Book · Personal · #2150723

a journal

This book is intended as a place to blog about my life and things I'm interested in and answers to prompts from various blog prompt sites here on WDC, including "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"

and "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"

I'm not sure yet what it'll turn into, but I'm going to have fun figuring it out.

In response to "good news"

Excellent entry, Rhyssa.

I agree that if there is love, respect should be in it also. How can it be separate?
I hope your niece recovers very soon. She is lucky because she has such a great family, a caring aunt, and wonderful siblings. Have a happy Thanksgiving!

This is clarity. Taking care of babies and very heart touching. Bless you. There is hope.

We've finally dropped out of summer temperatures. Maybe.

So beautiful and heartening to read of your love of your family members!
I like warm, too; not hot, not cold. Unfortunately, where I am we are rarely warm or lukewarm. Mostly hot with a few days of somewhat cold in the dead of winter.

In response to "top of the wish list"

Something like a patch or an insert under the skin might do it. I hope they do invent something that would make lives much easier.

In response to "flood waters"

That is terrible. Your poor family! The city governments need to take better action with their drainage systems. That is something that concerns me a lot. In 2018, in Paris when the Seine rose up, due to rain, all the basements around it were flooded, which made the basement rats go up the buildings. Most people were made to evacuate, but when the floods receded, they came back to unbelievable looting and broken windows and doors. The outcomes of floods are horrible.

Exactly, and I agree. Good vs good produces great literature.

In response to "complication"

First, this is not up to me, but since your entry seems to ask for opinions, I'd say why worry about something you have no say over? I know this is difficult under the circumstances, but the decision is for your sister and her husband to make. Whatever they decide, they'll have to handle the results of their decision. You can only help when the result is in the open.

A second possibility is that the ultrasound may not be showing exactly what is there. I know a couple who thought they were getting one kid and ended up with twins. Then, what the ultrasounds, x-rays, etc. show depends on the doctor who interprets what he sees. I hope it is nothing but the doctor's wrong interpretation, but he/she might be right, too.

Also, sometimes, nature takes care of itself. So, please don't worry before anything happens. You'll only cloud your own life.

In response to "writing the edges"

Yes, it is always helpful to stretch out. You are right about being too close to something. Some things in my life I am still not able to write about like the Vietnam War or 9/11, let alone read a book referring to them. In fact, if I see a book hinting at such a situation in it, I'll skip reading it.

In response to "common wisdom"

I am with you on this. Aristotle probably wanted his ideas or debates understood easily for the people of his day. Also, sometimes, wise thoughts cannot be expressed in simple words, even if we can show those ideas in character action. Still, I believe in using an easily understandable language, but for that end, I am not going to give up a good piece of prose expressed through better vocabulary.

singing a song is fun to do

Have you ever done karaoke? What kind of songs do you like to do? If you haven't... have you thought about it?

I have done karaoke. My problem is that while I know lots of songs, they tend not to be the recent songs that most karaoke bars play, so I have to go with oldies, and then, it all depends on if I can recognize that I know a song from the title, which sometimes isn’t the case. I don’t really recognize songs from the title or the artist. But if I hear it, I am likely to know it.

I do like to sing. Of course, I have a good ear for pitch, so that can be a problem in a group karaoke setting. And I’m kind of shy, so getting in front of everyone bugs me a bit. I think the last time I stayed in the background, wanting to be brave enough to since and not doing it. But I have been up on the stage singing for everyone before . . . it was the day and the company, I think. I have a better time if family’s around.
