A TO ZZ TOP REFLECTIONS_IWSG Post

 


Each time I finish an A TO Z CHALLENGE, I think it will be my last.

I ask myself ...

Did anyone enjoy the ghosts of Twain and Freud sniping at each other?  

Did they make my friends laugh, think, and be glad they visited?


It is getting harder, what with my heart attack and my blood courier duties, to write any of my posts and ...

OOOF!

Ghost of Mark Twain here.  

I just had to bump Roland from his chair and take up this laptop contraption of his.

Childbirth is hard, son.  Writing is just putting one word after another.  

Don't unnerve yourself about it.  Just do it.  

Dance like nobody's watching.  Love like you've never been hurt.  Sing like nobody's listening. 

(And if you sing like me, nobody will be after the first few notes!)

Live like it's Heaven on Earth -- and if you do it right, it will be close.

Reflecting on this here A TO Z whiz bang affair is all well and good but ...

 We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; 

lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid.

 She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that is well; 

but she will never sit down on a cold one anymore either!

If you folks had fun visiting, then me and the boy did well.  

If not ... well that was Roland's fault and none of my own!  

I am the genius of the two of us, you know!

  2. No. I will pray hard each day that the Father guide the surgeon's hand for a successful outcome to Kenneth's surgery. As always you will be in them as well.

  6. The reason I haven't commented much is that I had issues commenting on blogs. I may have it fixed. Crossing fingers.

    Keep writing! I'll be back.

  11. Roland, you really need to listen to Mr. Twain. Notice I can't refer to him by his first name? LOL. And he's not that much older than I am.

  13. Your "muse" gave you some amusing but valid advice. Just roll with it. It's the only chance you've got during this particular trip on the planet
