What do you see #285- April 21, 2025

I am a widow since 2013 and live by myself in a small apartment. I use a wheelchair to get around, but I wouldn't consider myself disabled. I'm 11 years away from having bladder cancer resulting in a urostomy and I'm doing well. This cancer was a result of having radiation in 1995 because of uterine cancer. So have faith in yourself, a cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. My first try at blogging was an attempt to help other people with my condition. I am a mother of three married children, and a grandmother to eight gorgeous kids, featuring them often here, and a great grandmother to two as of today, 6/7/25! I enjoy exploring my feelings and like to try the challenges. I like humor, music, movies, games, and some sports. I absolutely appreciate your reading and commenting on my blog. I am happy to read all of your blogs and learn more about you. Please comment however you like, ask whatever, and I'll answer honestly. Thanks for reading! Cheryl
Limerick Time
If a knight you desire, crave
Joe’s the man you want, but a knave
Dressed up to your delight
Sneaks around in the night
Meeting him, you’ll need to be brave.

Laughing Along With A Limerick
dVerse Poets Quadrille
Alter a well established government which has texts in the form of a Constitution?
Change is not wanted by the citizens who reside within this institution
Can they gather enough support to achieve resolution?
Not with current seats of a weak congress of involution.

Share Your World Easter Monday 2025
Daffodils I Love
No politics here:
No camera, just an old phone and the flowers are a week old but I still think they’re beautiful in the sunlight.
Pick 3
Endlessly awakening in the night gently illuminates my brain knowing I am under too much stress. Even trying a soft flow of gently driven music does not cause me to breathe quietly and drift off to sleep. A renewal of fresh daylight is beyond me.

Pick 3, a kinda sorta creative challenge
Six Sentence Story
We used to shake, rattle and roll in the fifties. Bill Haley and the Comets were on the radio day and night. Even American Bandstand hosted by Dick Clark made you shake your tail feathers. Fifty years of tv, watching band performers and teens dancing – even I was shocked to think it was fifty years! American Bandstand won Emmy awards and I was even surprised to read that. I guess it rattled my brain – doesn’t take much.

Sunday’s Six Sentence Story Word Prompt!
The Sunday Whirl
The strength of my heart is on hold as the powerful takeover of despots seems to flow freely now. How the destruction caused by low individuals holds us captive with their flashy facades is always a mystery to me, but it’s nothing new in our history. Usually there is a turnaround – let’s hope it doesn’t come too late.

Sammiscribbles Weekend Writing Prompt
No longer have a particular aim
Might even say I’m harebrained
I’m trying my best to remain
But my mind must be sprained
It’s making no chain
From my mottled brain
To my mouth to explain…
Yes, I’m still somewhat sane
Let me make it plain:
My brain is too strained.
