  • Walking

    Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?

    I enjoy being online and reading people’s posts here and elsewhere. If I sit all day I will end up in a wheelchair. I don’t want that. When I go to appointments I walk. My son goes with me because if I fall I need his help to get up. Getting old sucks. I am going to do my still bike and ride until my legs are strong again. Even weight training. My husband and I did that together. Now I have to have the strength to do it on my own. I am not a quitter. Trying to get healthy is not an easy task, but if I give up my adult kids will be lost without me. So I fight every day to do what I need to do. Life is tough but it will get better.

    Have a good day or night wherever you are in the world 🌍.

    If this person can do it so can I.

  • My Hair

    Describe one of your favorite moments.

    This may sound silly to people. My hair is important to me and I always wanted to have long hair. My parents controlled a lot of what I did. After I moved out my parents would tell me what to do. When I decided not to talk to them and my mother in law. I felt free. Freedom is the best feeling to have, and not being told how to live. I have the freedom to do what I want. Life is better without them. It is something to think about. I miss my hubby. But his memory keeps me going.

    Have a good day or night wherever you are in the world.

  • Name Changer

    Name Changer

    I would not change my name. My last name to my husband’s name, but that is it. I don’t like my name, but it’s mine.

    Changing your name does not change who you are inside, it does not change your personality. It does not change your dreams. Your personality stays the same, so does your ideals of life.

    A name is a name, but who are from the inside makes you , you. You can be a good person, or a bad person.

    A name can make you feel better, but does it really. It is something to think about.

    So I keep my name because it says about me that I can except who and what I am. No one can change me, but me. Name might help you feel better. But your heart knows who you truly are.

    Thanks for dropping by and have a good night or day wherever you are in the world.

  • Quicksand

    Slowly I sink

    slowly I try and yell help

    slowly my body goes under

    My legs

    My knees

    My hips

    My stomach

    My chest

    My neck

    Then my head

    Then I wake up and it is just a dream

  • Coldness is not Cool

    I never liked cold rain because it was cold to walk in it. I do walking in warm rain and I did not need an umbrella. But those times were rare. Today I stay in and write. I enjoy spring, summer and fall. I take pictures around my house because I have a hard time walking. Life sucks when you get old. Being 62, I wish I was 40 again or maybe 30. Life goes on.

    I never felt good when my mom would touch my neck. It was a cool feeling. Winter I did not like either because I did not like to walk on ice and today I have good reason not to go out. Coldness makes my body shoot up pain and that sucks. I like hot days and people don’t understand that. Warm days are good until the bugs come out at night. You can’t win it all.

    I use to hate sitting outside on a cool breeze day, but today I enjoy it. I understand that I am a empath and anything touching my skin can make me comfortable or bothersome. Coldness will never feel good, but the warmth of the night or the early morning will brighten up my day.

    Have a good day or night.

  • Fighting

    My life is a struggle since I was born

    Nothing I did was ever right

    Had no friends

    And no one cared

    Alone I was and I still am

    No one to talk to because my best friend died

    life is unfair

    No one truly cares

    I fight to live because of my kids

    Cleaning the house day in day out

    What fun is that

    Life just gives me heartache and pain

    Family who does not give a damn

    What I say does not matter

    What I feel does not matter

    My heart wants to die

    But I fight it because of my kids

    I am alone, I am alone

    The end
