Hello, how are you? Wow it’s been a while. So tell me what have you been doing and how is everyone?
I miss you, I love you, you are my world. In this life and the next, I will find you and destroy your happiness. He was mine till you killed our love with poison words.
That is why I love writing because WORDS are powerful, wonderful, thought provoking, exciting and so many more emotive thoughts. The written word can enrage or soothe, excite or scare, teach or spread propaganda.
Used in a positive way I find words soothe me as in song words .
I write for children with tales of wonder wrapped in fact
I write for adults of facts woven with artistic licence.
I write poetry to expand and please the mind
I write fact for us to remember lives as they were before all is lost.
I write because that’s who I am.
Write a short story a week. It’s not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row.”
Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it?
Hello, 👋 yes I’m back again. I didn’t think I would be, you see I didn’t see the point, I tell you what I’m thinking, and well that’s boring for anyone to read. I lost myself for a while I guess we all do some more than others, me I get lost from my bedroom to the bathroom in the night. Yes I am that bad. Anyway I saw this prompt about my favourite place I have visited and well this is a perfect time of year to tell you about it.
So, first thing it’s free to visit, thank goodness as I have been there so many times. I find there is something to cover every subject. Hope, love, friendship, family, maybe today I am seeing the brighter side, because if you stay to longer it can be exhausting. Same can be said of anywhere I guess.
You can visit alone or with family or friends, or a group of people depending on what interests they have.
By now you are going Ohhh I know, and so you might but when I revisit old memories or picture albums or even photos in this digital age I don’t look back with regret I look back with happiness that the moment happened, everyone of those revisited moments good or bad has led to this moment now. I may not be doing what I had intended but my children are adults and doing well.
I visit my memories and photographs often to remind myself, how lucky I have been to have survived the D/V I went through, the endless moving to protect my children, the disability and loss of everything home, family and friends.
The one thing I have is that perfect place I can visit Memories whether down Photograph Lane, tucked away in Corner of My Mind or Digital Parade. I have three favourite places all connected that I can share or not, places that everyone should visit with the same thought-
Memories are a snapshot from behind us.
They form who we have become, our love, our trust.
My memories cause me to laugh at what I’m wearing
Then sometimes a little tear spills, see I can still be caring.
I disappear into the vaults of yesteryear for five minutes.
Then find I have been there for hours, so let’s wing it.
People who have left this world, I see their smiling faces.
My babies all grown ups and having all their own places.
So ask me once again do I have a favourite place to visit?
My answer is yes, the past where all my photostell a story a perfect place to visit..
Thank you for taking the time to read these notes that I write, I feel sometimes that my thoughts fall onto the paper so quickly that it can become a ramble, therefore I will apologise to those that find the trips through my life, my thoughts, hopes and imagination to be a little tangled at times. I call it the excitement of creation overflow.
Now this question of when am I most happy is not as easy to answer as I first thought it would be. Many reasons have halted my answering and I think 🤔 lists are my way forward
What stops me from thinking about,being, happy
PTSD
Depression
Long term health conditions
Chronic Loneliness
Now the above do not stop a person being happy but it makes it harder to think about it. So to help I used my Google photo album and flicked over the last 10 years now I photograph everything and I mean everything, from Christmas to Birthday events and the garden seasons, blue , grey, orange, red, yellow all the different colours of the sky throughout the year. No make that years. The children from teens to homes of their own, grandchildren. Wow memories flowing through my hand, places, people, meals, creations, fun, happy times.
A wish that I wished that I will create just for me
WoW
What a way to find what makes ME happy, many things. Look past all the hurt and petty stuff turn down the noise of todays incessant babble, and there it is
I am most happy when
I am being creative.
Spending time with loved ones.
Enjoying good food in or out
Relaxing in peace
Getting the chance to get out and about
Spending time with my grandchildren (cause they go home and I can rest after)
Taking photos so that I can remember all these wonderful times.
Writing and with that sharing smiles
As seen from under the viaduct
As you can see there is not just one thing that makes me happy there are many and sometimes it’s the simple things like rediscovering old photographs.
Thank you if you got this far if you did drop me a hi 👋 because one last thing that makes people happy, me included is being friendly and sharing smiles.
Bye for now
Stay positive, Stay happy
The Sky at Night
Gnome place like Gnome What a cliche
I hope you enjoy these photos, I was surprised to find I had currently 18,600 photos available on my phone (I didn’t realise) plus all of the ones I have on hard drive oops I think 🤔 that’s deffo a passion
