Memories abide
Childhood play
Leaves cover
A child’s secret meeting place

I read the results of my 3 year cancer screening online and they show another year cancer free. YEA! 🎉🎊👍🏻🖖🏻🎊🎉I called the doctor’s office with no luck so looked the reports up online myself. You always have to be your own health advocate. Why you have to wait nervously two weeks for test results makes me think the responsible parties were never in that position.
Number two, received my copy of AARP magazine in the mail today. I detest that magazine and usually throw it in the recycle without reading. Today a cover article about clearing out cr– from your cell phone looked interesting and this is what I saw:
Now I find this disgusting! I doubt I’m alone in this. Are there many people who read AARP and look like this, or even want to?
In my opinion–warning–this is an infection of the worst kind. A trickle down effect, from a grandmother to mother to child?
A condition affecting younger and younger girls–little girls who should be getting dirty in old clothes, hair a mess and skinning knees–not wondering what dress to wear at school or that their hair is perfect. I’m not suggesting little girls ever read AARP magazine, but the constant bombardment of the media as a whole upsets me.
It starts at younger and younger ages, just like every other harmful thing out there.
Rant done….Maybe I should have added rant at the title of this post. The magazine is in the bin.

Daily Prompt: Inspire
The world around us is full of positive or negative energy. It is up to each of us to determine which to inspire in ourselves and others.
Here in WP there are many blogs of each. It is our own choice which ones to read, promote, share, and follow. It is easy most of the time for me because I gravitate towards sincerity, humor, compassion, and honesty.
I can already hear you thinking that what is written here is not that, that anyone can put forth any persona they wish, and that is true, but I am an optimist. The WP world is where I have found wonderful, inspiring blogs, friendly people, entertaining stories, beautiful poems, and many pull at my heartstrings, make me laugh, think more deeply, even cry.
Keep it up people, we’re reading!

Daily Prompt: Thin
The Prompt today is the word thin
Since age fifteen I’ve never been in
That category. Busting out, no pun intended
Have always been upper ended
Now of course it poses woe
Cause bits do tend to go below
The perfect demarcation line
But younger days, I was fine
🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Nowadays I glance into a mirror
And cause I need to see much clearer
Having to peer up close and nearer
Surprise myself at the appearer
What stares back is severer
Than I ever want to see
Oh my god, is that really me?
Write Anything Wednesday
I was reading this blog post and the word cherish made me think that is all I ever really wanted out of a relationship, and the song below. Of course I married in 1966, and the song originally came out in 1966**.
Check out this blog, lovely. https://objectsandthedistancebetweenthem.wordpress.com
**”Cherish” is a pop song written by Terry Kirkman and recorded by The Association.[2] Released in 1966, the song reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in September of that year and remained in the top position for three weeks. Billboard ranked the record as the No. 2 song of 1966. In Canada, the song also reached number one.”
Putting My Feet in the Dirt 16
Parents sitting at the game
Calling out their player’s name
Trying to encourage, spur
Energy to ensure
They do their best
And then there are the rest.
⚽️⚽️⚽️
Parents that holler, criticize
Not with praise, act unwise
With not a sportmans’ attitude
But obnoxious, completely rude
Intended for players to incite
The admonition: Fight or flight
