Hats off, literally!!!
via Daily Prompt: Hospitality
Kudos to those who have the grace and generousity to show hospitality to friends, family, whomever. It takes a whole lot of time and consideration to make sure that diet and health requirements/expectations are met. Visitors have a good time touring your “neck of the woods.” Outside of hosting a good meal with some thoughtful conversation, our hospitality is limited and we like it that way.
Aka=stubborn!!! One of my mom’s biggest criticisms of dad was his stubbornness. In retrospect, it was probably one of his greatest strengths. From extremely humble beginnings, Dad survived WWII; earned a PhD; raised 5 relatively decent children; and retired early enough to enjoy strumming his bass, bicycling, and helping family as well as friends. Up until cancer took him down, Dad’s motto was live life to the fullest, keep moving forward, never quit!
Daily Prompt: Retreat
via Daily Prompt: Retreat equals refuge for me. For the most part, my home is my retreat to enjoy the quiet, time for reflection. Sometimes a retreat might be an oceanside location with the salty air, the seagulls flying overhead, the sailboats heading over to Catalina island…Retreats are necessary as the air we breathe…
Daily Prompt: Treasure
via Daily Prompt: Treasure are experiences not things…Time with beloved friends/family are treasured. Those moments filled with laughter, honesty, intimacy, and grace are treasured. Clear skies, fresh air, and the freedom to be in the moment are treasured.
Daily Prompt: Martyr
via Daily Prompt: Martyrs, are their goals altruistic? Then by all means, proceed. Otherwise, who needs them??? Life would be more simply lived if people didn’t exaggerate what’s required of good living. Keeping life balanced, work hard – play hard, give – take; then let’s all meet in the middle to compromise, make peace, do good…
Daily Prompt: Or
via Daily Prompt: Or what? I love this conjunction. It opens the door for solutions to address problems. Now we have options, opportunities, addendums!
Photo Challenge: Chaos
via Photo Challenge: Chaos is my husband’s home office. He is a notorious paper hoarder. Yes, in this day and age, we can’t seem to find the time to file all his “must keep” paperwork!!! So many filing cabinets, so little filing…The paper piles go from mole hills to mountain ranges. At some point, we’ll need a control burn,preferably not IN the house!!!
Daily Prompt: Smoke
via Daily Prompt: Smoke, I was just pondering over the best way to approach my nephew, who at age 26, smokes. Lord only know how long he has smoked. But as a child, he told his dad (after watching him smoke) when he was old enough, he’d smoke too because he’d look cool. You’d think that in this day and age, we’d be smarter about not adopting habits which are detrimental to our health. But my dear brother AND his son are chronic smokers. I do not look forward to watching them die of lung cancer…😥😩😭
Daily Prompt: Volunteer
via Daily Prompt: Volunteer that is what I enjoy doing now where church people truly appreciate my help in the office, or by making contributions to the members at large whether they be in long term care or without shelter.
Daily Prompt: Ancient
via Daily Prompt: Ancient synonymous with Mayan ruins, the Anastazi, aboriginal tribes within this context I am a newborn. Anxious to explore, breathe in, taste, smell, feel.
TBH
