In response to "Beauty in aging"

I'm with Sue on doing everything you can while you can Kåre เลียม Enga

Sue, I was a force to be reckoned with when it came to doing things until 3 years ago, and then I took that crazy fall off the ladder. That fall broke not just my feet and damaged two discs in my back and tore the cartilage in my knee but it stole my fearlessness in doing things. Now I find I'm afraid of doing anything that might be risky where I never used to worry about the possibilities.
I've never cared about physical appearances, the things that mattered most to me was doing the things I dreamed of doing like hiking in Bryce Canyon, traveling to all the National Parks, dancing all night with my hubby and then walking together as the sunrises. I've accomplished a few parks and danced with my hubby but not all night and thankfully we've seen a lot of sunrises together.

Grasp life with both hands. While you can travel do it, Kare. It’s the thing which gives you most joy and happiness. The warmer weather will do those aging bones good too. You don’t have to hop skip and jump to enjoy an outdoor food market or just sit and chat to a stranger. We need to find our pleasures where we can before it’s too late. Looking forward to reading your observations from Penang.

I am definitely faded. I'm doing this 10 week trip to prove to myself that I can. I don't hop, skip and jump. 42 stairs up may yet do me in.

In response to "Risky business "

You did take huge risks, didn't you! But I applaud you for every single one of them. I think you are better off for taking all those risks that made you a strong person.

In response to "When I’m no longer here."

I know what you mean about not wanting to go back and edit my work, and I do cringe when people review older work of mine.

I don't have answers either.

In response to "When I’m no longer here."

It is interesting. My Grandmother left some post cards from friends which I read and added to my stamp collection. I have a pair of her earrings also that I saw her wear once. Even elderly she was beautiful. Now I wonder who else may have left written things in Grandmas family.

In response to "Midnight. A story for little ones."

Very nice story. Once on a trail ride. We stopped to eat our roast beef sandwiches. The pony I was riding wanted some and yes ate its share roast beef and all.

It would definitely make a great children's story.

In response to "Revenge"

Revenge is sweetest when it's on the page and not reality.

In response to "Cliche "

Really loved the grittiness of the first poem, taking something that normally brings a sense of wonder, awe and joy into something grim and cynical (and I’m not even really the biggest fan of that style of storytelling). So great job there.

The clock one was eerie as heck, but I loved it. I kind of interpreted it as if the clock turned sentient. Amazing work all around. Faved to reference as inspiration later

Prompt: Repetition
What do you think about events, people, knowledge and thoughts that keep repeating themselves? Are they ever useful to you?

This is an interesting question. I often wonder if there is anything new. The same old events happen each year and after being alive for eighty of those years they seem to come around quicker each time.

Our local Royal Show for instance. It’s on every September and each time it’s on I always say “surely not again. Wasn’t it on only last month?”

Elections. The same old thing. Same speeches, same promises. Same same same.

Easter, Christmas, Mother’s Day, Fathers Day and yes even WdC’s birthday! They come around so quickly and they all have the same advertising and hype.

We have a large family and the same problems crop up regularly but with different family members. The only benefit of having experienced the outcomes many times is to know for sure is “this too will pass.”

I don’t hate Mondays

Prompt: Write about what you dislike about Mondays.

I actually don’t mind Mondays. I’m retired, I’m eighty, so when Monday comes around it means I’m still here and it’s the start of a week of possibilities.

It was different when I was working, but even then it meant the kids were back at school and everyone knew where they were supposed to be and what they were supposed be doing.

Saturdays meant standing watching kids play sports either in the rain or blazing sun depending on the sport and the time of year.

Sundays was cooking up a storm making food for the week and a Sunday roast. Lots of washing dishes and making sure everyone had a clean uniform and the weekend homework had been completed.

Now all the days are the same. Mondays are fine by me.
