Thanks for your comments. Yes, you’ve right about things changing with age. I never thought I’d find myself incapacitated. Weird isn’t it? I’m sure we all have had the sense that ‘old age won’t happen to me!’ It seems life had other plans.😂
Hope your recovery after your knee surgery is progressing well.

Nice entry.

Like you, I don't do clothes shopping anymore, and with the arthritis, I stopped walking outside, but I walk inside the house and around the yard. Things change greatly as we grow older and older.

It's like the apple in the garden, too tempting to avoid and look what happened after that.

In response to "Work Ethic"

Hats off to you! I don't think I could do what you did. On the other hand, having a lot of people fixing things while you are taking care of the kids and trying to keep them safe would have its own downers, too.
Anyhow, so glad you could and did do all that! That's some feat to be proud of.

I wish you a speedy recovery from your knee replacements. I understand it’s a painful operation but worthwhile. I’ll be thinking of you on Monday. 😉🤞🍀☘️ Good luck, Lyn

I agree the cheetos aka the man who wants to be Hitler and Putin rolled into one, his ignorance will definitely have global impacts.

I've been getting as much as I can in order before my surgery on Monday, February 3rd. I'm having my right knee replaced followed my left shortly after. Writing didn't fit in for me either. Looking forward to seeing more of you in the months ahead.

In response to "New Year so far."

weather where I live is also unsettling. Took the dogs out for a walk yesterday had some sunshine but today is fog and rain on top of a couple feet of snow turning everything to slush.

Every year I look forward to something called January Thaw. This year we just had a new blizzard every couple days. If the thaw does not show up properly in February, the sap won't run properly from the trees less maple syrup probably. Anyway, forecast says sunshine tomorrow. If we have a freeze in the night all slush will turn to ice.

Watching grandchildren choose as they age is so interesting because society has changed so much since I was a child.

In response to "All alone "

The feeling was amazing indeed. The first night was the scariest but after that I found so much joy in each task I tried. I've surprised myself on more than one occasion, Yes I can do anything I set my mind to doing.

I can’t say I’d be tempted to go camping on my own, so I think you’re very brave. It would have given you so much confidence knowing you succeeded. Afterwords you must have felt as if there was nothing you couldn’t do on your own.

Eureka

PROMPT November 25th

Write about tinkering, brainstorming, or the process of creation. What brings out your creativity?

I must admit I do like a good prompt. I read the prompt, store it in my brain and forget about it until Eureka! Out pops an idea, or several, for a story. I don’t know how that works but it seems to for me.

I find staring with dialogue always gets me going too. It’s like walking into the middle of someone having a conversation on the phone. You need to fill in the replies and before you know it you are embroiled in a situation. Although someone told me it’s a no no to start with dialogue, I prefer it to descriptions of the scene where the story takes place.

Other times I simply start to write, not knowing where I’m headed and before I know it I’m off and running. That’s great when that happens, it’s exciting.

Peaceful

PROMPT November 24th

Think back to a time when you felt completely at peace. What made you feel that way?

Well, I’ve just been for a three mile walk with my dog Lucy. I realised I was at peace walking along, thinking my own thoughts, even though I was hot. My poor dog just wanted to get home. It’s been about 35degree C today.
I just had a thought. You know that moment when you’re just going under, the moment when the anaesthetic is starting to kick in? That’s peace! You don’t know whether you’ll wake up again and don’t actually care. 😂

I like getting in my car, the radio station tuned to my favourite programme, driving on my own. That’s when I feel peaceful too.

On reflection I find peace in all sorts of situations. I think it’s all a matter of turning off the rest of the world and trying to be in the moment, whether it’s gardening, listening to a podcast or walking.
