I have a moving picture frame that was gifted to me and it is a delight. The brand I have is Aura and my family and I can post photos, videos, etc on it. It is so enjoyable, because it holds memories and some old photos I might have forgotten otherwise. I highly recommend this frame if you have relatives or friends that are far away or no longer with us. Sometimes one of those memories will just make my day!

Most of these prompts I have no clue. I never had a car of my own. I wish today had been a wrong number. I called Walmart pharmacy to see if my prescription was ready and it was answered by AI. I asked to speak to a real person because there was a problem. The AI voice would not transfer me so I asked again to speak to a real person. After the third time of her repeating the phrase that she could answer all my concerns…refusing to transfer me and for Pete’s sake arguing? I hung up. I hate AI! I called the head manager of the store and of course he said the pharmacy is not controlled by him, it’s a separate company, etc. At least he was polite.🤪

Living Poetry

pride

voices

you’re locked in

rainbow colors

wearing your pride coat

explaining your choice now

feelings no longer quiet

tell the world who you really are

courage to find your voice and your heart

“Pride voices, your locked in rainbow colors”

(Dectina Refrain)

Joe finished dressing and admired himself in the bedroom mirror. He had worked hard at the afterschool job to buy this coat. He felt pride in his choice. Running down the stairs to grab an apple for breakfast, Joe was suddenly halted by his mother’s voice. “Joe! What are you wearing?”

“I bought it myself” he explained. “Isn’t it great?” Joe turned around so his mom could see the entire wording printed on the back of the jacket.

“Well, no. You can’t wear that, and especially to school! You’ll be ostracized!”

“What does that mean? But, yes, I’m going to wear it. I’ve been saving up to finally buy it!”

“I said no!” Joe started to leave and opened the door. His mother continued, “if I have to lock you in your room, I will! Now take that off!” Joe turned and gave his mom a woeful look.

“You can try, but I won’t go. Aren’t you the one telling us kids to express ourselves, stand up to bullies, look out for each other? Well this is me taking a stand!”

Joe’s mother stopped and thought about what he said. Of course he was right. Joe left for school after his mom hesitantly gave him a quick hug.

The struggles of the older are spelled out in books, memoirs and songs. Elders’ hands, wrinkled and worn, have the touch lessened but the mind still tells the wisdom of their years. Some names or dates may be forgotten, but the heart holds the most important memories. Over a good cup of coffee or tea, you may be privileged to hear the dreams of these generations.

As always an optional gratitude section is included at the end.
Here are this week’s questions:

1. Do you prefer a duvet on the bed or sheets and blankets? I have two blankets only.

2. What is your favourite pizza topping? Everything except anchovies🤢

3. What topping do you like on ice cream (sweet sauce, chocolate, sprinkles, fruit etc). Hot fudge is a favorite but fruit is yummy!

4.  Do you like to wear a hat? Nope, but I’m going to get one of the red knit “Melt Ice” hats to wear.

Gratitude: I am grateful my granddaughter has a new companion since Syd passed away at over a hundred years old -dog years.
