Would you like to carve part of your life? What do you want to shape differently? Everyone has things they’d like to change about themselves for different reasons, but think about it. You’re here, expressing yourself to the world. You have friends, readers, people who want to know more about you, appreciate who you are. Don’t change yourself for anyone else, be who you are. Do you really want to carve out facets of your life? I like you just the way you are. I wouldn’t change a thing.
I am such a techie…Not! I see blogs or icons and would love to read, but the language is not English and there’s no translate button to click on. Also, I see Gravatar icons with no WP address site, so I’m missing out, folks! I don’t know how to change this myself, so advice welcome. If you leave your icon on my site, please let me have the opportunity to repay your visit, thanks!
A certain blogger who shall not remain nameless – Fandango – had me laughing so much reading his take on this Prompt I nearly forgot to write my own! Actually I was busy going to the movies two days in a row, which I’ve never ever done before in my life. But hey, it’s 2018, a new year and a new attitude.
My idea when I saw the Prompt was also dancing, but in a Hawaiian or Polynesian type of dance. Years ago visiting the Polynesian Center in Hawaii, we saw a glimpse of many different islands’ customs and dances. A highlight of our trip!
“It’s simple” he started, holding his cup of coffee. “I like you and you like me, what could be the harm?”
“The harm? Are you being obtuse?” Mary was getting frustrated with Joe. He could only see this affair as a brief interlude, but Mary fell in love. While Mary was married, and had legitimate reasons to be unhappy, her conscience told her the arrangement with Joe was wrong. “Can’t you see I’m in love with you?”
Joe, seeming surprised, put down the coffee, and sat beside her on the couch. They had just spent the night together in this lodge, waking to warm coffee and he had built a fire. A very romantic setting, but Mary wanted more than a stolen night here and there. She wanted what she thought she had at the beginning of her marriage. “I can’t take this, only seeing you once a week or less. I want more, I want you!”
“That’s not how this started, I can’t change. You knew I wasn’t that type when we met and made this arrangement.” Joe was trying to defend his position.
“You’re sure?” Joe reluctantly nodded. “Then I guess it really is over.” Mary went home.
Conversation between you two
Speaking softly the usual rule
Even those frustrated thoughts
About what’s true or what is not
It’s an age old problem with one solution
Keep on talking till you reach the conclusion
That thoughts may differ and seem hard to solve
But think of the beginning of that love
Between you both, it at first is hard
But the only way to leave it unmarried.

Sneaking in the day again. Was asked to join the rest of the family who didn’t see “The Greatest Showman” movie yesterday and all seven of us attended, enjoying it just as much if not more. I highly recommend this movie for all ages. Great theme, reminders of tolerance, and acceptance, which is so needed today. Singing, songs rousing and touching, and dancing that makes you just want to leap up and dance yourself. Luckily I couldn’t or I’d be hearing, “there goes grandma again.” If you decide to see it, do not be late. The opening scene stirs the heart.

I love the sunlight
Warm, bright, even cloud subdued
It is a constant
I don’t fear the dark of night
Also providing shelter

I have no clear path
Finality of life unknown
I prefer to drift
It seems the only answer
When fate always intervenes
“Well, Jerry, I’ve seen everything now, look at that mess!” Joe shook his head in disbelief. “Old Aunt Agatha used to say this tree knew the secrets of the universe. Creepy, I’d say. Now look at it, totally destroyed.”
Jerry had a different thought. “I never believed her weird stories, but those roots look strange, almost like they’re scratching something in the dirt!” Jerry moved closer, watching the slight movement of the roots.
“See anything, Jerry?” Remembering Agatha’s warning, Joe feared getting any nearer.
Jerry looked hard, reading out loud. “If. . .you. . .can. . .read. . . this. . .you. . .are. . . too. . . close!”
But the wait is worth it. Today was my late husband’s birthday and since we didn’t want to sit around feeling sad, we went to the movies. We saw “The Greatest Showman” with Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron. I wasn’t sure about seeing a musical but I enjoy anything with this actor. The dancing was excellent and toe tapping. The songs and point of them all were inspirational. My favorite was “This is Me”. It has such a great message, as the songs all do. My granddaughter, 11, her 21 year old sister and my daughter all attended and we all came to the same conclusion, we could watch it again immediately, and want the soundtrack.
