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!
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.
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.
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!
Use these random words in your entry: detector, proclaim, rotten, memory, suggest, mill, creed, wound, and ivory.
Is it wound (I have a wound)? It might be wound(I’m so wound up today? I think I’ll choose wound as I’m really wound up today!
I’ve been through the proverbial mill. I don’t know whether that’s an expression in general use in the US, but it suggests feeling as if you’ve been chewed up and spat out, leaving a person feeling rotten. I hereby proclaim that grown up (supposedly adult) children should from this day forth not upset their parents. That is my creed from now on. One should wake up with access to a detector which warns the day is one for staying in bed and to just rely on your memory of when that child who upset me today was just born with perfect ivory skin and gazed at me with her big blue eyes and all was well.😂
