Oh Boy, here goes!

What is your favorite hobby or pastime?

Good day my friends, oh what a day,

I missed you all I have to say.

Sending Smiles out through valleys over mountains tall

Just read and Share the Smiles to all.

My favourite hobby is, making, watching, using, so much to say

I love reading 📖, to date I believe I have approximately 1500 books 📚. Have I read them all? No, I have a pile of new books waiting to be read, cookery books that I flick through searching for an appropriate recipe, and various books of information as reference, so I have not read the dictionaries in 3 languages just used them for spelling words correctly. Yes I also re-read my books

I love painting, creating, craft work most types actually, my front room is at present an art studio because my shed is a mess and I simply can’t clear it on my own,

Crochet 🧶, I guess comes under craftwork but to me it is a separate hobby, I am just learning and I am quite enjoying it sat quietly at night with the tv on just making a blanket is a peaceful calming experience before bed.

I guess the absolute love above all when in the right frame of mind is writing, it may be poems or short stories or continuing with the book I am writing and one day will finish. I have to feel the words to be able to write so have taken a break for a while because I have been in a strange headspace for coming up to 18 months. But there is clearance ahead and I can go back to writing.

Lastly sitting quietly meditating and turning the noises off inside my head, dulling the pain inside my body, and breathing my way to calm and stillness

Not forgetting my Music and films and probably many other hobbies I have that I failed to mention. But that is half the fun, I open a cupboard and there is another project, like Christmas all over again.

I have time for all these hobbies because I am unable to work due to multiple health issues .

I have cPTSD , multiple medical issues, short term memory issues, disabled, p/t wheelchair user, crutches at all other times.

Majority of issues including the need for a wheelchair caused by Domestic Abuse

Take care all, big smiles love your Diva with the wheels

Successful technologies often begin as hobbies. …

When I Finish Laughing ;

If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be?

Dear Reader

How are you today? Hope you are starting to realise life is about YOU, without investing in yourself your batteries will deplete and you will no longer be of use to family, friends, colleagues, work, whoever relies on you. Start putting yourself first so there is at least something of you to afford to give to others.😊

IF I started a sports team apart from it would definitely be a fantasy sport, as I have very little interest in any or most sports, I would have to put a ME element to it, just to add to the panache don’t you think, well we all need more smiles and laughter, something to lift us, up not drag us down.

So my teams colours would be bold, unforgettable and a little bit OTT . Hey I am doing this my way, team stripes first so that they feel like a real team, or idiots in what I design

Sunshine Yellow 💛 top with a logo in Sapphire blue 💙 saying

“Bring me Sunshine & Smiles”

The shorts, Sapphire blue 💙, with a little logo of a 😊 customised of course.

The team are called Light workers because they make light work of anything

Mascot is a huge sunshine with a big smile, and on its back are the song words ‘Bring me sunshine’

Oh the sport , oops, sorry, well, that bit slipped my mind. Ok ,

Champion Tiddley Winks

All in a days fantasy

Until the next time Adios

Hope you enjoyed a little trip into the strange and bewildering place that is called my mind

Never forget to smile

Much Love my dear friends

Loss is Loss

What would you do if you lost all your possessions?

To loose something that you class as important can be shattering, oh I can hear people saying well it’s not your life or the love of your life. But unless you have been destitute and lost everything, and I mean everything you own, there is no understanding the emptiness it leaves.

A blasé comment would be ‘well possessions can be replaced’ and ‘you can’t take them with you’. We get it, but from a mental health side of the coin, personal possessions can keep you feeling grounded, hold good memories and be full of sentimental value. Some people are lucky enough to hold no value in goods and walk away with just the clothes on their back, good for them. But for the rest of us mere mortals if it truly happened to you, and you were honest to yourself, I know I would be broken into tiny pieces …..again

My advice is be honest don’t answer from the aspect possessions mean nothing, because they do, otherwise why keep them to start with

I have lost people that I love, those gaps in life I know I cannot fill. We know life is all about birth and death, but whilst alive we do try to make life comfortable, if that is how you are. To lose belongings, and have nothing is so hard .

When I wake up

What daily habit do you do that improves your quality of life?

Hello again my dear friends, this will be short I assure you, the daily habit that I do every day that I can assure you improves my quality of life for which I am eternally grateful for and will continue to be till my last breath.

My daily habit is Open my eyes

And that’s the way I roll, easy really each morning open your eyes and wow up pop new opportunities .

Take care and keep Smiling

What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

Hello, hello again to all. Now the last think I searched for online according to Google was radiator covers, but that didn’t seem correct so I thought my phone is not telling me the truth I will ask my PC 🖥️ and my PC kindly informed me I had searched online for a new wheelchair which had turned into a disaster because somehow it had got to boring and expensive and it looks like I ended up on reels on Facebook with wheelchair races and crazy stunts.

So I turned my phone off and back on again left it to update and was watching these people doing things I could only dream of, definitely not want to do. All I can say is I think 🤔 I am easily distracted.

Confucius: “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop

Now what was I saying, doing?

Big difference between the two re searches on PC but I think I may have narcolepsy type of attack which happens on occasion. today has been a little like that at least I haven’t fell asleep stood up.

I am sorry for errors that may have occurred, this has been an extremely difficult day on keeping my focus and this one little piece has taken me a couple of hours.

Winston Churchill

“Never give up on something that you can’t go a day without thinking about.

What a waste(or is it).

How do you waste the most time every day?

Life isn’t as serious as the mind makes it out to be — Eckhart Tolle.

Hello my friends, I made it once again. Now my biggest waste of time and I hasten to add, as I am doing it I am aware I am wasting minutes, hours and then the day is done, is ;

No it’s not that simple I have to explain, I have difficulty moving around which makes me tired and some days I can’t hardly move so this is my waste of time, my mind numbing don’t think about my situation or how I came to be (ugh) disabled. Ok I will stop with the waffling and tell you.

My biggest waste of time is reels on Facebook and Instagram even Tik Tok. I spend hours watching, smiling, giggling, sighing, and learning at times all the while the hours pass.

Ok I’m off now to watch some fb reels

Bye for now 👋

Oh Um That’s A Tough One.

What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

Well hello again, how refreshing the topic today is about something I try to love but in all honesty struggle at times. So without further ado let’s just jump into the bouncy castle of flab that is Moi

What is my favourite thing about me? Aha maybe my self deprecating humour, get the jokes in before someone else does.

In truth my favourite part of myself is my eyes when feeling well, they convey so many emotions and messages. My eyes change according to my mood, I have grey eyes which I love and they go from a light grey to dark grey colour but on a normal everyday my eye colour is a slightly lighter than mid grey.

They say the eyes are the window to the soul well mine must be open and readable because I hide nothing. If I am happy my eyes shine and if annoyed I can’t hide it my eyes darken, oh I smile and try to cover it but oh boy if you know me you know to step away from this lady, cause the smile is hiding a deadly spark ⚡️ that the eyes can’t cover for…

The eyes express all the emotions and states of mind and body.
- Eyes soften in love, harden with anger, widen in fear, narrow in suspicion, roll in exasperation, glaze with boredom, and weep in sadness.
- By Anthony Synnott, Ph.D.,

Now this my very tired eye 😴

When life gives you lemons, squirt someone in the eye.

Smile be happy, sing 🎵 share some joy, look to the stars and remember , this is the reason why, life is fleeting , gone in a flash, one day you have decades then you have none. Don’t take chances thinking you will do it in old age because that’s a maybe not a promise, no one made. so I bid you good evening, afternoon or morning wherever you be, and hope we meet again in my journeys of me 🤭

It’s all same to me

What is your favorite season of year? Why?

If you are living in the UK 🇬🇧 I think you may understand the title. We no longer have seasons, not like I remember as a child ;

Spring so full of new beginnings, days getting a little longer and maybe warmer, flowers pushing through the thawing ground, and the new life all around, lambs always my favourite

Summer, well it’s the UK 🇬🇧 warm, so sometimes hot, bank holidays rain. But mostly lazy hazy crazy days of summer just like the song words say (Nat King Cole) 🎶

Autumn, colourful busy and plentiful (I grew up on a farm) harvest, fresh vegetables in the garden, trees changing colour and a slight cooling in the breeze 🌾🌾🐏🚜

Winter was always cold, teeth chattering, shivering 🥶 but always a warm fire and the Rayburn to warm up hands and toes. The frost would make patterns inside and outside of the glass on our windows, and the snow was a blessing (no school) and a problem (dad had double the workload). We shared funny stories and played games , all snuggled up and watched tv as family because no one wanted to play outside in minus temperatures.

So back to now we don’t have seasons like this now we have a rolling change of erratic weather patterns that have changed our seasons into a merged mess. Now I am not getting into this whole “global warming” “the moon moving away from us” “doomsday” “solar flares” or anything else but the weather has change dramatically in my lifetime. I’m 58. Some places are so hot it’s killing people, while here we have rain, shower and oh rain it’s a wonder we don’t evolve with webbed feet.

So my answer sorry is I no longer have a favourite season and the reason is because the country I live in no longer has seasons, well that’s how I see it as I sit here in June shivering in my winter dress

Much love Kim

Nervous or just plain scared stupid

What makes you nervous?

Hi 👋

I just dropped by to say I’m still around, although at times I do wonder where I actually am. Usually stuck in my own head, trying to block pain and coping with PTSD . I manage most of the time by wearing my happy face , just sometimes that face has to go in for repair hence my absence from here for a while.

What makes me nervous? Many things, if I am to be honest. I won’t bore you with my trauma as everyone has their own trauma of some kind to deal with and if you say ‘ well I don’t have any’ well gosh where have you been living and can I move in please 😉

Anyway I digress what makes me nervous picking the first one that I struggle with, the DARK. Yes the night or dark places I feel my heart beating so fast it jumps into my throat and my stomach shrivels to the parched remains of a catfish in the desert after 3 months of no water.

Ok a little over the top but along those lines . I have good valid reasons. Of that I can assure you.

Question why is the silence louder the darker it is?

Why is your heart beat so loud that it can echo in a room giving away your location? Well the second one is not really a question it’s just feels like it is beating loudly .

Ok that’s all for now folks

Bye

Oh and Keep on Smiling 😊

Repeat Repeatedly, repeatedly repeat.

What movies or TV series have you watched more than 5 times?

Hello 👋 again

I repeat Hello 👋 again.

I don’t think I have ever been a goggle box, square eyes 👀 person. To watch a series once is ok maybe even good, twice would have to be amazing, but never any more.

As for films 🎥, there are a few I may have watched 3 times but I have a habit of falling asleep because I know what’s happening. I just am not that interested in being a slave to the black slab with moving images.

I am sure some people are hypnotised by the tv, I hear my son talking about films and I haven’t a clue what he is talking about, he flicks through a list on Prime and all I hear is, seen it, seen, seen, rubbish, good, seen. He is in his early thirties, what on earth, where does he find time? He works, plays video games on PC with mates, and watches all these films, 🍿.

My head is still back with those dam penguins from the film Madagascar

Just smile & wave boys, smile & wave

I am not a slave to the box but it seems after hearing certain films playing in the background over the years, my mind has picked up catch phrases

So after my mini growl, I have decided I can’t name something I have watched more than five times, but when you get to asking about books then my full attention and excitement will be unleashed

Till then

✋🏼 see you soon or not

Kim-Louise
