In response to "Keep on trying."

I hear you! I do my best to do things well enough and I keep at them, but I'm not going to kill myself because if keeping at something useless, the effort I put in is useless. When I realize that I quit.
I admire what you did with the fish pond and it made me smile. And to think that you did it in one day! Wow!

In response to "Capital punishment "

The bible also says “turn the other cheek”. ( It’s full of contradictory stuff!)
It’s a complex question & I’m not sure how I feel about the death penalty.

In response to "Texting "

I think texting is detrimental to our communication skills because so many people use emoticons and abbreviations that when it comes to actual conversations they've forgotten how to use words. It drives me crazy when my granddaughters are texting while we're trying to have an actual conversation. I've said on more than one occasion what is it going to take to have your undivided attention. In my home, cell phones are shut off between 5:00-7:00 for family interaction time.

In response to "Blessings "

Excellent point! I have to take time out now and then just to say to myself, you have nothing to complain about when compared to others. I have a small medical condition but not life threatening. I am 79, see good, hear good, walk good - no complaints I say. So we do need to remind ourselves how good we have it.

I guess as you get older it comes before us more, like for Willie Nelson in his 90s. Age is a big factor. But, since we have no real control on age, we all age, we must make the best of it.

Blessings to you, and thanks for reminding me how go I have it!

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.
