“You know the saying”, he said, “on a wing and a prayer”? The son nodded. ” That’s how I’ve led my life, and in most ways, it was a great one, especially having you and your brother.”

The son, sitting by his dad’s bedside, started thinking of everything he thought his dad did wrong in his life, only serving himself. He tried to comprehend what his dad meant, if he was trying to apologize. “I’ve lived my life differently than you probably wanted me to, but I have loved you boys more than anything else in my life. Sometimes life is shorter than you expect, the mistakes you make along the way show up all at once, making you realize how you could have been a better father. If you learn anything from mine, it’s that you only rent this space for a while and should try do your best while here. Try not to make the mistakes I did.” His son hesitantly took his dad’s hand.

“It’s okay, dad, it’s okay.”

There are a lot of ways to write about this Prompt. The most prevalent is what I’ve heard often, my way or the highway..pretty straight forward and not exactly favoring tolerance.

The second thing it brings to mind is that there are many in this world who think there is only one way to live your life, as a man or woman, husband or wife, mother or father, with one religion or none, lots of rules or none, lots of money or none, etc. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we all just accepted the ways other people choose to live? It is their choice, maybe not the same as yours.

However you live or maybe you’re a lucky one like me, who have a choice in how you live. Live and let live, but try to do it with love.

I watched the news tonight because of the wind warnings. Now I know why I don’t watch the news.

Four assaults, one with a hammer because someone didn’t want a hug, a pick axe attack on a neighbor involving homeowner rights dispute, a man had a dispute with his wife and bit part of her ear off, and worst of all, a nineteen year old boy’s body found in the reservoir, having been shot to death. Okay, that’s why I don’t watch the news. Keep your doors locked at home and in the car when you’re driving or parked. Is this “”tis the season?”

The mind may be weak

But the heart keeps beating strong

Faith never altered

Used to be able to do it

What I’m talking about is knit

Now any attempts I can’t emit

My un-nimble fingers are unfit

If I tried, I’d look like a twit.

Years ago I decided to quit

When the sweater I made only befit

A very large tall man of grit

Others make scarves to me they remit

I love their efforts and thank them with wit

Admiring their work for skills they transmit.

Monday and after a busy if not filling few days, it’s time for ceenphotography.com‘s Share Your World. Please join in and answer a few questions she asks every week for us to get to know each other better. (Always loved this prompt – miss you!)

1. If I had my supplies out of storage I would love an extra room for crafts and sewing, etc.

2. Cloudy with a likely chance of rain.

3. To be on the farm in the flower garden with my mom.

Inspiration for this week has to be a repeat from last week since my oldest granddaughter just was accepted into medical school out of 7000 applicants. She will graduate from college in May 2018 and start the next four years of med school in August 2018. Yea!

I have a dearly loved friend aged 58, whom I am losing to Alzheimer’s. This movie tells some of the heartbreak. This trailer isn’t the best, but the movie itself does show some of what happens.

Christmas parades abound and the cadence of the percussive instruments provide the rhythm for participants. I always love the drums, no parade is the same without them.

Just a bit proud to be driving this year in our Candy Cane Christmas parade last night.☺️

Alex thought this would do the trick, and he carefully picked the small flower. The bloom reminded him of her, just as delicate, beautiful scent, and the exact color of her eyes. Alex hoped this tiny gift would convey his feelings well, since he was going to ask her the ultimate question.

Time To Write: Picture Prompt 11

Last night we were talking about Game of Thrones which has become an adult family favorite. So much so we have the Risk version of the GoT game. As we were eating our frozen yogurt and laughing with silly pictures, we were discussing the characters in the last season. The consensus was our favorite character is Tyrian, a definite underdog.
