Share Your World – July 3, 2017
For your main meal do you prefer sweet and sour, hot and spicy, spicy and sweet, bitter, salty, bland or other?
Sweet and sour. No spicy. Spicy food is bad for my digestion.
Where do you hide junk when people come over?
I don’t. The downstairs portion of the house is more or less all my room-mates furniture. I only have one Armoire and it looks very good. When he has dinner parties he cleans the downstairs thoroughly. When my brother Stephen comes over I usually camp out downstairs and Stephen gets my bedroom. I clean up the downstairs before and after Stephen’s visit. I do the best I can with my bedroom but sometimes the clutter gets the best of me even with sweeping, mopping and vacuuming. Personally I think closets and basements are great places to hide junk because company does not go to those areas of your home.
What daily habit would you like to introduce to your life?
Take more walks when the weather is good and see my brother Stephen more often.
If you were to perform in the circus, what would you do?
Mistress of Ceremonies. I could introduce the acts as I have no talents balancing on wires nor being a contortionist! Flipping, jumping and other athletic skills are beyond me. I do like to dress up but I would Not want to be a clown. I also like to dance. Maybe I’d be a Dancing Super Heroine. In fact if I owned a circus mine would be a Super Hero circus that would travel around the country catering especially to both physically and developmentally disabled children, teens and adults. With my crew I’d perform little skits to entertain the kids and I’d make sure that at least two people on my team knew ASL (American Sign Language) so all the children could enjoy the entertainment. I’d be a mixture of Carol Burnett and Lucille Ball.
Optional Bonus question: What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
Got to see Stephen last Friday and will see him again next Friday for one of his bi-annual meetings at his Training Center.
YOU CAN’T FORCE PEOPLE TO CARE – BY ELLIN CURLEY
Amen Sister. Sadly you can’t teach or convince people to be empathetic. In my mind I wonder how did they get to the point where the health and welfare of other human beings means little or nothing?! This is an Excellent Blog Post!
Many people say that there should be more dialogue between liberals and Trump supporters / Republicans. I disagree. I don’t want to try to talk to someone from Venus if I’m from Mars. We don’t speak the same language or share the same values. Discussion is pointless. It won’t result in any kind of Kumbaya moment.
I’ve been having trouble coming up with a reasonable explanation for my reluctance to reach across the aisle. I always said that we didn’t agree on basic facts so there was nothing we could even agree to argue about.
But I was never satisfied that that answer was the full story. Then I read an article in the Huffington Post, on June 26, by Kayla Chadwick. The article was called “I Don’t Know How To Explain To You That You Should Care About Other People”. There it was – right there in the title!…
