WE change and ageing is a kind of shock to the brain. I find it kind of interesting to age since no one ever told me what it would be like. I will be 80 before the month of January is over. Looking forward to January thaw if we get one.
My younger me definitely had a different list than today's list. The things like you that I wanted changed remind me today that I survived and I'm still surviving with less desire of changes and more gratitude.
I would never have guessed you're 80 years old reading your blog entries. You're definitely young at heart.
The fires are horrific. I agree the fires are definitely showing us how easily our lives can change. Man's illusion of being indestructible cannot surpass mother nature.
I'm so sorry. I hope this time turns out better. My daughter is an alcoholic but alcohol free for 4 years now with the help of AA. She lives not far from her meeting place and goes often. Somehow she knows when she needs to go more often and does that. She has a good sponsor and I am so proud of her (she'll be 60 this year and has 2 adult children that she has reunited with recently). She tells me one has to be at the very bottom to realize the need to climb up. Of course, that bottom is different for different people, but she did "try" AA several times before "it took". Best wishes to you and your family.
If only time could stand still and when it resumes the slate would be clear...If only your words to the greater powers could happen our world would be a better place.
Prompt: Imagine lacking something that everyone else has, something that proves you belong to the world. Something so vital....let's see what comes to mind...
What immediately comes to my mind are other people. Imagine being a Tom Hanks character, castaway on an island. There’s no one else. No one to talk to! Having had that thought about words and conversation, it makes me wonder if one would even have the ability if there was no one else to speak to?
But just imagine if you weren’t just a castaway but there were actually no other people existing in the world besides you. You wouldn’t want to live, there’d be no point to life.
I suppose that’s an extreme answer to the question.
Second choice.: Clothes! Imagine being the only person in the world not to have anything to wear. Now that’s sure to make a person feel as if they’re not a part of society. Although one never knows, it could set a trend!
