A new blog to contain answers to prompts

Since my old blog "Everyday Canvas " became overfilled, here's a new one. This new blog item will continue answering prompts, the same as the old one.

Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.

Joy, Thank you for your post.

I am a flake
and melting FAST.
I know this form
will not last.
when I am a puddle
and I look in a mirror
will my image
reflect my fear?
or curiosity?
Is this my shape
or merely a
part of the
footprint
I landed
in?

What might my
next form be?
I could be mud
and turn to brick
or evaporate
to a cloud
that's thick.

Thank you for this. Your blog made more sense to me than the radio blurb I heard today.

Appreciating beauty is important. We need to find joy to keep functioning. Good call. I appreciate your views.

Yes, "real joy isn’t about perfection—it’s about appreciating the beauty in imperfection and living well and fully."

In response to "How Much to Share"

Beacon's Anchor

A trust lawyer is who I used for my living trust and will. It was expensive but so worth it.

Still, that's not enough. The lawyer's office has to know that the trustee has passed on, and for that, they'd need the death certificate, and in my case, I bought the plot near my late husband's and also bought my shroud since my sons wouldn't know what to do and what and where to purchase such stuff. If a cremation is an option, then other arrangements could be needed.

Also, not everything can be put in a living trust, such as IRA accounts and other items. After us, every single thing can be a problem. I only hope we can make it easy for our children.

In response to "How Much to Share"

I have to agree with you and the one thing is hard to talk about is the Living Will or Living Trust because family aren't comfortable talking about it, My fiancé is having a hard time dealing with that situation with his mom and she doesn't want to talk about the Living Trust and getting it fixed before she passes. It is a hard subject to talk about.

For me, I need life insurance and a Living Trust because I don't want to burden my kids with it. I know eventually I would have to talk to my daughter about it and I understand it won't be an easy one to talk about but she has to know how to handle all this. I'm going to have a someone I trust help her get through it too.

Thanks for sharing,
Beacon

The Most Beautiful Things

Prompt: The most beautiful things
«The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.»
Helen Keller
In your opinion, which kinds of things are the most beautiful, seen, touched, or just felt?

----------------

As to seen, touch, or heard things, I love people, my sons, sunsets and sunrises, the ocean, birds, trees, flowers, even weeds, animals, the rain, and the feel of the fur of a beloved cat in my hand when she was alive and I used to stroke her,

Where the unseen and untouched is concerned, still, all people--even those I haven't met and will never be able to meet--and perhaps music I like and the voices of the ones I love.

Yet, there are other more beautiful things that do not fit into the touched, seen, or heard categories. Memories that mean a lot me take the first row. Here are my memories of my family members who have passed on or those who are still alive but are so scattered all over the world that constant communication is a problem. To those memories, compassion and empathy are attached, which are probably the most beautiful feelings for us humans.

Also, the faith and wonder in believing somethings greater than me or in Someone the greatest, who shows me the boundless possibilities of life and the mysteries of the universe, and all those things I can't even begin to imagine.

Then, compassion, hope, and love are also very beautiful, if in right doses and in proper amounts. Most anything dear to me is beautiful, anyway, for they are treasures of my heart, felt not by sight or touch, but by the light of our shared humanity.
