Something that brings me joy couldn’t be easier today:
It is my sweetest sweet granddaughter turning 14 today. I have been privileged to be close since her birth, truly a blessing. ❤️🥰🌸

It was critical for Stanley to go about his unique way of feeding the animals in the park. You would think spreading breadcrumbs an axiomatic technique, but not Stanley. It was important to him to use a certain space where no one would enter, except him and the creatures he fed.
Stanley was an ideal employee at Aquarius Pets. He featured the Lost and Found section where pets could be adopted with one month’s food and a bed supplied at no charge. Stanley had the magic touch when he put a sign up on the store’s wall encouraging pet adoption. In the first two weeks, even sales for pedigreed pets surged. Stanley was above all else, an animal lover and his actions saved many an errant animal.

I was sad, disappointed, and disillusioned. I was at the end of my rope. I didn’t realize how my feelings had permeated my skin and the air around me until I walked back up to my apartment. At the top of the stairs, looking down, everything I touched had turned blue.

Swan Lake
Victoria floated across the stage as the new star of the ballet company. Her envious companion swans were poised behind her. Victoria became the ingenue despite their actions, jealousy, and starting vicious rumors about her and the leading man. As she danced by them, giving a smirk unseen by the audience, she thought, “you tried to ruin me, but I succeeded anyway.”

Ronovanwrites Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt
Whenever we meet
Heart rises expectations
Recedes in parting
Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Fairy
To live as a fairy would be such delight
Hiding in the sunshine, coming out at night
Sitting on a petal or riding on a leaf
Fairy life is an adventure, but all too brief
Visible to children whose view is not construed
Such innocence is why only they can view
The slightest movement of a fairy’s wings
Because in a child’s mind, imagination sings.

What do you See? 8-10-20
Underneath the glitter and the paint, all a ruse to hide what is or ain’t, you’ll never see the real, the one who stays hidden, all the reasons and of travels that were ridden, none of what matters to you or anyone, revealed out loud or ever felt in unison, under all the colors, all of all remains unseen.

Word of the Day: Trust
“Trust me, I know what’s best for you”, I must have heard it a million times. And of course, I did trust them, it, her or him. It was only after realizing the ones in authoritarian positions oftentimes don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. I am mostly referring to doctors here.
I think my growing up in a household where you did what you were told without asking why is to blame. “Just do it” or “because I said so” tends to catch up with you as a parent, so that’s probably another reason why they were adamant.
As a child, I trusted everything–stray animals, eating berries that looked delicious but made you sick, climbing onto that small branch on the tree, knowing sure, I can ride a bike, horse, etc, the water isn’t deep here, dangling on an old rope swing–all lessons in life. It was going out of my little corner into high school where my first mental hurt occurred. A seemingly best friend stole something of mine and that was when I became aware not everyone is trustworthy.
Still, even at the age of 73, I trust maybe more than I should. My daughter would then look at me and say, what? It makes me laugh because also at my age I don’t have much to lose. Besides, I need to keep her on her toes!😃
