Gosh this blog is one I didn’t expect. As it’s written in
two parts. Early afternoon and very late at night. The latter part is deep and
meaningful.
Good day Bloggets. Well, today Hub is feeling worse than
what I am. So it’s my turn today to look after him. Though he has been
practicing for a wedding we are going to. He has been asked to sing and play
piano. So I have had a beautiful concert today.
Chilli made for dinner that was a laugh. I just shook and
hoped. Shook the tins of what I hope for were different kinds of beans and
hoped I was right and I was.
I took a jar of many, out of the fridge, and hoped it was a
chili sauce and it was. Not bad out of goodness knows how many tins and about
eleven jars. So a simple dinner cheating really, and a big pot of rice. I did
fry off some garlic and mushrooms to go in and chopped some sliced tomatoes.
If chilli doesn’t get rid of our colds nothing will. Then
some ice cream for afters.
Talking of spicy food, it’s been ages since we have smelled
our neighbours cooking. Which is very unusual it’s normally every day as she is
a cook from home, it’s her business.
One day till Teen is off on his break. I hope the winds stay
calm as it’s been really strong in parts of the UK and he is going by ferry.
Yesterday in the North sea, there were forty foot waves.
Today we have experienced the highs and lows of accessing
information on the internet for those who are blind.
The best thing I have found is an application called Tap Tap
See. I have spoken about this before we use it a lot. If I want to know what
certain items are like Hub put a sweatshirt on the other day and on the front
was a huge emblem which he isn’t a fan of. It’s great, not only did it say the
colour of the top, but what was written and in what colours. He has just used it on me now sitting here
and it said. “Person in black sitting on
black couch with grey lap top. Then he pointed it to the fire and it said. “Short
coat black dog lying on white rug.” It has read tablets for me before too and “Tap
Tap See is free now as well.
Then there was my fave shop for clothes. That was dreadful.
I used to be able to shop on that website but no longer they have put too much
flash on it so adverts. I can be reading a description of an item of clothing
and suddenly something totally different will start to read. Like a jacket. So
for those who are sighted, the jacket may match the dress for example so it’s
put in front of you as a suggestion, but it interrupts what I was reading. Also
some clothes say multi when it comes to colours. I have bought lots of multi’s
before and they have turned out to be only two colours and they never tell you
the colour.
Only two shops we can use for groceries with great ease. But
we are lucky to be able to use that some countries don’t have internet grocery
shopping.
Well, I have written this in two parts. Earlier was above
and now is now…. Smile. It’s half eleven in the evening and teen has just left
for the gym. In his shorts and it’s bitter cold. Almost midnight. He is up for
work in four and a half hours. Madness.
Our dinner was quite nice. And there is some left for
tomorrow. Talking of tomorrow, we have such an exciting day planned….. We have
a steam mop coming. Haha. Oh, I live it
large.
So topic for tonight. Just before bed I was wondering what
to write to my Bloggets about. What may interest you might not interest your
neighbour and I want to reach all of you. So topics that will I hope turn on a
light in your mind or imagination. I could ask questions and wait for your answers,
but may wait a while. As are they rhetorical questions? Like, why is the sky
blue? Where did Adam and Eve go, heaven or hell? How do you love yourself? Are
there angels amongst us? What is the best age for a successful marriage?
Communication is so important whether it be talking writing
or reading. Speech is so important too powerful and persuasive speeches can
change the world. Or at least a part of it. Great leader’s dictators or
democrats, have led nations, won wars and fought back with vengeance. Mahatma
Gandhi convinced Indians of their power to retaliate the British through his famous
slogans like “Do or Die.” Not that I am condemning war. Quite the opposite but,
there are some who are born to fight and just wait for that command to push
their button.
Why is the sky blue then, well, from my limited knowledge,
blue light is scattered molecules of air in earth’s atmosphere blue is
scattered more than other colours because it travels as shorter waves. So I am
lead to believe anyway.
Where did Adam and Eve go, heaven or hell? Again, don’t take
my word for this it’s my belief and I’m not a bible reader, but I gather that
they went to heaven, though it’s not exactly written, we are lead to believe
that is where they went.
How do we love ourselves? I am sure this is a way of life.
Your circumstances life’s situation and if all that fails, then you have to
teach yourself and I’m far from being close to finishing school on that one. I
am learning fast what certain people think of me and also learning what others
think. I can reveal that the difference between opinions is incredulous. I mean,
so different that I found it as I’m learning, difficult to believe how such opposite
opinions can be about the same person. If I was being analysed I’m not sure
what the results would be. Perhaps somewhere in the middle of everyone’s opinion.
And what opinion would I like to conclude? Thankfully, the majority of your
views. And interestingly the views I have had that shocked me come from a very similar
group of people. These people are a group who let’s say live a rather closed
life and those who are more open to the world think totally differently and it
is those who I respect as to be honest if I believe what the very few others thought
I would be in a box now, or a hospital for the mentally ill.
For many years I lived in a gold fish bowl where I was being
watched and couldn’t get out, now I’m being looked and listened to but I can
get out and read life. I have come out of my prison and now behind bars are
those who think of me as weak and needy. I can smile now and know that I’m not
that person. They believe it, but what makes me strong now is the fact that I
see these people who think they know me and they don’t and that is strength.
Playing a game and keeping your cards close enough to have the king and queen
in your pack.
How much do people
really know you? It’s a fun game you know, if I were a singer, I stood on stage
every week singing the same song same voice. Or, to be a singer with many songs
and different voices to give the best out of my performances. I would pick the
latter.
Are there angels among us? I believe so. This is something
only you can answer. As I could say there was and if you don’t believe that,
then nothing I could say would change your point of view. And the best age to
marry? Well, personally, I don’t believe there is a perfect age. I do believe
that you change your mind set, your heart opens as you get older and your brain
collects more information over the years that may make you wiser to the
situation of life. So at seventeen you think you are in love. You know you are.
But are you really? If you could fast forward your life looking in a metaphorical
mirror, and see just what you will feel in five years from seventeen, I promise
you will feel different. What excited you at such a young age will now bore you
and what you found boring way back now you will be content with. A kiss of
passion can quite easily become the kiss of death, well, hopefully not really,
but that sweet kiss can become sour. When you get to a certain age, you know
your mind. You know what you want. You may meet the love of your life as a
child. But will you marry him/her as soon as it is legal and will that love
lust passion remain? Or will you meet your love as a childhood sweetheart and have
a gap then when you have both matured, get back together and that time it will
be for life. I know that is what happened with my Husband and me. For me personally,
I knew from a very young age I loved my husband. But if we had married at say
21, I feel he would have missed out on so much in life. For me I would have
gained for sure. But he had so much freedom and opportunity in life way back. In
the end it didn’t make him happy, but he has memories I couldn’t have given
him. I also think that you have to have bad times in your life to appreciate
the good times. I also know that you can have too many bad times. Some people
seem to have so much joy and others seem to endure such pain constantly. Life
isn’t always a box of chocolates. Full of different flavours textures and
experiences. Sometimes you get the same
bar of chocolate and it may be one you really don’t like.
Just before bed, one final thought, Seven Wonders of the
World. What would yours be if you could choose?
Lots to think about tonight nighty night. X
