It's odd how culture works. For example, it's rude to say 'no' to an elder -- so when Dad asks someone for something, they say 'yes'. Then they disappear! So it's rude to say 'no', but it's okay to do 'no' ... ? 40 Words |
In my classes, I have to be rigid to be creative or flexible. I have to stick to the age group I'd decided on. If I am rigid about these things, I can allow the discussion and creativity to flow. Words: 40 |

Age makes him thin The hands tremble That twinkling grin Replaced by a tender smile A gait unsteady, Could walk many a mile That's my Dad, I love him so Very attractive, Ever my hero. 35 WORDS (Written on Sept. 9, corrected a spelling mistake the next day) |
Today has been a dull day and I guess I should be very thankful for that because the last couple of days have been emotionally charged with Dad's helper having to quit. The new guy has taken over and Dad is missing the old guy and getting a bit snappy with the new guy, so I have to intervene sometimes. Just now I am listening to Dad talking on the phone reading out a notice to someone who is helping us with some issues we're having about the house. I know I am supposed to write without stopping but I have paused sometimes. That's all I feel like doing for now. |
