Harmony !!

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

Hi, hello again, it’s been a while, as usual life just takes these twists and turns and before you know it a week or month can pass and time can fly by. Yet nothing has been achieved, sad fact isn’t it we act as if we have all the time in the world, when truthfully at any moment our clock could just, stop,

NOW.

So here I am again trying so hard to prioritise what is important in my life, trying to find some harmony, and it’s almost like having to sell my soul. Which is never and can’t happen. So how will I find harmony? What will I let go of to attain said harmony? Well truth is I won’t let go of anything.

This lady has lost so much physically, materially and I guess mentally that I refuse to let go of anything I have left. Instead like a symphony I intend to weave my life together to make a harmonious piece of music that suits the way I now want to live.

It may sound selfish, I can assure you, it is not, my babies have grown flown away and have babies of their own. I live by myself because who wants a woman who can’t hold hands walking side by side. Let alone struggles with housework and other simple tasks. My life is becoming more harmonious because I am learning that life goes on no matter what I do so I just add another instrument into my symphony when change has to happen.

For example, my son having a hissy fit because he is good at doing these things, he is 34 , it messes with the harmonies so I just put a drum in to drown him out . No I’m not completely loopy, but it works and if it works why change it

Symphony- the simple definition of a symphony? agreement or concord of sound – harmony

Harper Collins Definition

HARMONY

noun

agreement in action, opinion, feeling, etc; accord
order or congruity of parts to their whole or to one another
agreeable sounds
music
1. any combination of notes sounded simultaneously
2. the vertically represented structure of a piece of music Compare melody rhythm
3. the art or science concerned with the structure and combinations of chords

In many cultures, harmony is considered an important virtue. As a personal, social, or environmental accomplishment, harmony has a place in everyday conversation, political discourse, as well as academic scholarship

What’s your favorite thing about yourself?

Well hello to all,

What absolutely amazing thing to contemplate answering. What is my favourite thing about myself? I have laughed so much over this question Thank goodness I came back this morning to complete this note and post it.

So to the point, in a round about way, I can say without a doubt, hand on heart it is not my amazing model like figure, well I do look like a triple bellied Hippo, in a pink tutu. Very much like the Disney Fantasia movie.

My voice ? No , oh boy, although I would make money being paid to not sing 🎶, I am of just slightly above average intelligence, not anything to make a fuss about. I have been less abled for 15yrs so definitely not that.

I write a lot about many things hoping one day to finish one particular piece as a book. Now I had been read through this chuckling to myself, when I realised that was my favourite thing about myself , my humour, my ability to turn any situation thrown at me and find a funny side and not let it bring me down. Oh it used to, but like a switch that had been flipped, it became- oh dear this woman has had enough rubbish to deal with . Time to change

If I can laugh at my own writing and make a few others laugh. 🤭 plus I think I missed my calling as a sit down comedian, come on whoever heard of a stand up comedian who couldn’t stand, so I would have been a sit-down.

So there is my favourite thing about myself ⭐️ My humour ⭐️

Oh and that that my heart though still metaphorically shattered, still beats, therefore I am grateful to be alive 🫀

Take care all

Bring Me Sunshine

How do you want to retire?

Hello again,

Now how do I want to retire?

What a question, simple answer would be alive and in one piece. But there is an issue with my flippant answer. 1. Technically I am retired due to disability. 2. There lies the next issue, I am not in one piece because of the aforementioned disability.

So that changes my whole perspective on retirement, it is a scary financial time to contemplate. So on that note when retirement age descends upon me by a blessing from above it would be lovely if I didn’t have to spend my last years of life struggling like I have spent majority of my adult life. Oh I have worked, and put my heart and soul into several jobs, domestic violence robbed me of my mobility and health.

☀️☀️☀️☀️

So retirement bring me sunshine

Bring me love

Bring me happiness

Sorted my funeral, no clouds above

This has made me think!!

What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily?

Dearest Friend

I have thought about this long and hard and the oldest thing that belongs to me, that is in daily use I hate to say is falling apart, and as it is a limited edition there are no spare parts. The chassis is twisted, it’s done too many miles. Paintwork is faded and to be honest the seat padding is bursting out all over.

The oldest thing I have in daily use is MYSELF. 59 in yrs feel 89 at times but my mind thinks I am still 19

Feel Like A Clapped Out Vehicle

Apart from my soft toy rabbit who is the same age as me and actually looks worse than I do(if that’s possible) anything older I own ie crockery is used for special occasions. Ornaments are in glass cabinets. I on the other hand am a living almost working relic of 1966 a disabled diva with a sense of humour and sarcasm in sacks

Good day my friend

May all that you need be provided

And all of your wishes be considered.

This is My Life

What is the legacy you want to leave behind?

Hello again, hello.

To everyone who cares to read I say hello.

A legacy – the long-lasting impact of particular events, actions, etc. that took place in the past, or of a person’s life ( copied from Oxford Language Dictionary)

B legacy- an amount of money or property left to someone in a will.

So I am aware of what I would like to leave as my legacy the only issue is, no matter how you go about things someone will always find a reason to put you down. Now ok I will be gone my physical body reduced to dust so why am I thinking about it because I had hoped in death I would have received better than I did in life.

So I am hoping that my written words will have an impact, a glimpse into the world of me. The words no one listened to, a poignant glimpse into the trials of who I was and survival. The comedy of life and observation of the world around me.

The other part of my legacy is my children and grandchildren to carry on their hard work. To carry forth love and laughter out onto this world

Till the next time

Simple Really

How do you feel about cold weather?

Hello my friend, hi 👋

What a day today has been, I woke up with my eyes opening, wider and then, I can say hand on heart I had my eyes wide open. Seriously it was amazing, Then I said to myself ‘What a wonderful world’. I asked the device that’s always listen (no not Sir Starmer Llamas army) to ‘Turn the Radio on’ .

One final check in the mirror before starting my day I heard ‘Nellie the Elephant 🐘 packed her trunk’, playing on the radio and smiling to myself I went to make a coffee.

I was ‘Walking on Sunshine’ or rather sitting on the stairlift and gliding on sunshine streaming through the window.

Oops forgot about the reason I came here to write to you and chat, well I saw this little prompt or question whatever you wish to call it, interesting was my second thought, my first being another cup of coffee.

So how do I feel about cold weather ? Well several things to be fair, I am not an Eskimo nor am I an Amazonian Warrior Women .

I do not like cold because my legs ache, my muscles cramp, and my internal thermostat seem have to broken. So my feet are always cold and look slightly blue.

On the other hand I am not happy with heat either as again I cannot control my internal temperature

So conclusion;

I am not an Eskimo, neither do I ever or have I ever fancied holidaying in colder corners of the globe. So therefore I am not a fan of the cold, freezing, or frozen, re the cold, what’s the point all I do is wrap up and get the blankets out, until it warms a little. I’m rather lucky as here in the UK 🇬🇧 we don’t suffer to much with extremes in temperatures but we suffer with not being able to afford to heat our homes. That though is another story and not a fairy story either, one full of wicked lies and robbing greedy people, demons and wizards 😂😂

Actually I think if I was told I had to live in colder climates I would go live in a bear den and hibernate till the sun shone and the ground warmed again.

Good Day Sunshine

The Beatles

Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine
Good day sunshine

I need to laugh, and when the sun is out
I’ve got something I can laugh about
I feel good, in a special way
I’m in love and it’s a sunny day

Stay warm or cool whichever is your preference you are all still part of the same wonderful crazy bunch of humans on this planet that could all be friends if you wanted to be.

Much love

Wrong Question

What sacrifices have you made in life?

Hello to one or more of you that are kind enough to drop by to read the insane ramblings from a over active mind.

Well I was purusing my messages earlier and up popped this prompt about what sacrifices have I made in life. At first I was tempted to just leave it, but it kept pulling me back. So I thought it’s my mind, and it wants to have its say. I can’t help the way it will read or what people might say.

Sometimes just sometimes, we all need to be recognised for what we have done or not done for someone else.

Now my gears are running let’s go

I have sacrificed more than I can explain in a single piece of writing (most people would be asleep with boredom after the first 15 minutes) hence. That is why I am attempting to write my book. Anyways I digress;

From the Cambridge Dictionary

Sacrifice

to give up something that is valuable to you in order to helpanother person:

sacrifice something for something Many women sacrifice interesting careers for their families

I have sacrificed my everything, home, health, future and happiness to protect and love people who have no idea the true horrors of a domestic violence relationship and what you go through for your children. After all it’s so true no one knows what goes on behind closed doors.

Must go speak soon

Absolutely No Surprise Here

What public figure do you disagree with the most?

My Dear Friends

I had to reply to this also I have missed you all

A name on many people’s lips, if the UK is your home.

Sir Kier Starmer our (cough, choke,🤬) Prime Minister, yes I moan.

But I am not alone in my disappointment, disagreement

Downright disgust at someone who is selling his country out.

I’m not afraid to say this, I’m asking please arrest me. throw away the key

Be the first time I have had three meals a day, for a while you see

I’m disabled, wheelchair user, non smoker, born in the Uk

As was so many generations of my family, farmers I will just say.

Sorry if I offend, no scrap that cause sorry I am not

But if this country lets that Llama carry out

His plans to take every Tom Dick and Ali

The Uk will sink, all cause Sir Llama’s let’s all be pally….

Now this is an awful attempt at a rhyme and I could have written something so much more eloquent, BUT this man, this Llama ok I know his name is Starmer but to me he is a woolly headed arrogant creature that promises one thing then spits in your face. Go on say it but Llamas can’t promise, well they do, they look so innocent so they give the vibe of a promise. Back to my crap rhyme, I did it like that because I did not want to loose my cool so made it as short as I could, like I wish his term was in 10 Downing Street.

I have to add this politically I normally am quite chilled but I have survived some scrapes in life, I always say I am a survivor but when the news is pounding with it’s costing our country over £8 million per day just to house incoming illegals (I don’t do political talk at the end of the day a spade is a spade) that cost is rising with the amount that are coming here.

Now I have had to have my income stopped to be put on a separate benefit which will in effect lower my income over a period of time. I don’t go on holiday, I don’t have takeaways and 5 days a week I have 1 meal a day then 2 days I have 2 meals it’s all about cost . Now the change over of money means no money for between 5 and 8 weeks this is Starmers Britain. I know there are worse off and some just like me, I also know that people will say he inherited a broken Britain but Conservatives inherited the same broken Britain from The great and glorious Tony Blair.

Maybe I should sit on the beach with some brown shoe polish and a pair of water wings (I am not a racist but this man is actually turning this country into racists) back to the beach 🏖️ with my luck someone would call greenpeace and i would be pushed back into the water mistaken as a beached whale 🐳.with the boot polish they would say Orca.

That’s it I can feel me marching as if to war so it’s down keyboard and watch tv or something less taxing 😉

Much love

To Vote or not to Vote?

Do you vote in political elections?

Although I live in the UK, a supposedly open and transparent western country, the politicians are as crooked as Fagin from Oliver Twist . Before any and I mean any election there are promises made for every party, then the backbiting between parties, he/she/it said this/that/the other. So the voters in this country are either a staunch X, Y, Z voter or confused as hell who to trust and either put a cross by who they guess has made a plausible sounding statement or the worst outcome develop an apathy towards the whole voting experience.

So yes I vote and because I can’t get to the polling station I have a postal vote.

At least when things go wrong I can legitimately moan or hang my head in shame because I helped someone onto a local or district council or become an MP therefore putting a new ruling party over our country

Thus giving a type of ultimate power

Ultimate power, ultimately corrupts, how true this seems to be in what was once formally known as Great Britain, now she hangs her head in shame as we sink into the murky waters that surround us

Fun 🤩 5 Things

List five things you do for fun.

Dear friend,

I have been absent, for that please accept my apologies and let us move forward in life.

This looks like a fun exercise list five things I do for fun !! !! !! !! !! !! !! – maybe it was a little more difficult than I thought. In my pre less-abled diva days I would have listed 5 and 5 more just for fun. Now I just do things to get through the day.

Oh no you don’t, this is no pity party, this is my brain trying to kickstart its dusty motor a little .

Here we go

I write, it’s therapeutic for me, don’t care if it never gets read I am happy with it. I find my mind whirling and ideas flash, next I am away in a story and calm as can be.
Ray Bradbury: “Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens
Reading, a good book can transport you anytime, anyplace, any part of the imagination. A book can be an amazing friend.
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” – Dr. Seuss
Messing with paint, now I can’t paint in the conventional terms but I love the paint flow and ebb colour mix’s etc so I have fun with paint and canvas.
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary: — Pablo Picasso
Craft work, sewing, crochet, knitting, model making and on it goes.
“Crafting is a way to make something out of nothing.” – Anon
Meditation, well this keeps me grounded, sane, helps with pain and really is calming. Not that good at selling an idea but that’s the general idea for me. My only problem if I become to calm of an evening meditating I make sure I am on my bed, I have been known to wake up the following morning. All I can say is I needed that sleep.
Sleep is the best meditation.” – Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama

So my boring five keep me almost sane and yep definitely 👍🏻 alive

Catch you soon
