In response to "School Days"

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

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.

In response to "All alone "

With the cold temperatures we've been having this far, I suspect that person wouldn't be leaving their house.

I don't know about you, but I've spent a week with no other contact, I found it very enlightening because I discovered how capable I was of doing things myself. This was after my divorce and my ex telling me that I would never go camping or kayaking without him, I was too stupid to do it on my own. I felt like I had a point to prove to myself. Unlike Hanks in the movie, in the back of my head I knew I could reach out and someone would come but I didn't give in I persevered and made it. I burned dinner once, over-turned my kayak once and the tent fell done on me the first night but ultimately I really enjoyed the silence.

I'm glad you're able to gather with your family. It's so hard to get everyone together these days. Hug that grandson tightly!

In response to "Changes "

Yes it’s certainly an interesting time, but watching myself deteriorate each day is not something I relish.

In response to "Changes "

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.

In response to "Changes "

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.

In response to "Fire"

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.

Hello hello

Prompt: Do you ever write stories just using dialogue? Write about this in your Blog entry today.

I love writing dialogue. One of my favourite contests is Dialogue 500. It gives me the freedom from writing dialogue tags. It leaves it up to the reader to imagine what each character is doing as they speak or how their words are portraying emotions. There are ways of informing without tags by questions such as “ Why are you crying?”
Or “why has your face gone that colour? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Dialogue is so much better than an info dump, it can tell the story in a more informative and interesting manner.
I’m tempted here to give an example of one of the five hundred word limit entries into the dialogue contest. The prompts are usually whacky and way out which is usually hilarious.
