One Word Photo Challenge: Family

Part III: People, Places & Things

If you want to share a literal image of the actual word, do that. But if you’d rather play with word association, post something that reminds you of the specific word, or something you use the word for, do so. It only has to make sense to you. Have fun and keep on photographing!

The Dying Cries of Men… | a cooking pot and twisted tales


https://acookingpotandtwistedtales.com/2017/03/22/the-dying-cries-of-men/

Jacqueline who is a Queen Poetic Genius captures the heart, soul, and mind of an old soldier recounting the hurt pain and sorrow of war.

The voices of warriors are the same everywhere.  Will we heed the voices of old soldiers or will their agonies of battles past succumb to false future glories.

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are? 

People tell me I look like I’m in my 40s so I would maybe be around age 42.

So, you’re on your way out and it’s raining. Do you know where your umbrella is or do you frantically search for it all over your apartment/house?

I know where my umbrella is because I hang it up in my bedroom in the same spot all the time.

Do you recharge your energy by going out with friends for a good time or by spending with quiet time alone?

Quiet time alone. By nature I am a Solitary.

Name three things you and your spouse, partner or best friend  to have in common.

My girlfriend La’Verne and I are both sensitive short, petite, pretty Black Women who are family oriented. We both enjoy dancing we can give the guys a run for their money on the dance floor.

La’Verne watches over her elderly mother and has a beautiful intelligent hardworking adult daughter and of course I have my brother Stephen whom I adore!!

Optional Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? 

As I’m running behind with this weekly challenge I’m grateful that the first week in March I was on vacation and I got to spend time with my brother Stephen even though it was freezing cold outside. Grateful that Snowstorm Stella which battered NYC is over. Me and snow don’t get along and I’m NOT friends with snow’s cousins ice and sleet either.

Looking forward to Spring, warmer weather and more opportunities to be outside either at NYC’s various Botanic Gardens, parks and just walking around taking in sunshine, warmth, outdoor activities and people watching.

Wish

Sharing wishes with strangers makes a powerful emotional statement.

Shinnyo-en Lantern Floating 2014

You write your wishes/prayers on the Lantern then float it in a body of water. I’ve done various volunteer activities with this Buddhist Temple.  I don’t attend as much as I used to but I still get together with my Japanese friends for Buddhist services, chanting and meditation.

 

 

My Greatest Wish is to spend more time with my brother Stephen who is an Awesome Autism Guy! ♡ ♡ ☆ ☆
