Have you ever been walking and found something someone else lost? It happens to me a lot. Just this morning I took a walk up the street and back to the house as I often do. I saw something shining on the road and picked it up. It was a key ring with no keys on it. The glass on the front had been broken, most likely from being ran over by a car. It had writing under the glass. It started out ( To my husband Never forget. I love you) . As I looked at it I began to wonder about how it got there and why there were no keys attached. Had the wife lost it on her way home, before her husband ever saw it? Or had he owned it and used it , but one day they had a fight and, maybe his wife threw him out and took back the key. With the house keys gone he may have thrown it away in frustration and anger at love lost. Could even be one or the happy couple's children got hole of the key ring before the husband had added any keys, and they lost it while playing with it.
I do not know maybe I am just weird to think about things like I do. When I pass an old rundown building I look at it and wonder what it was like the day it was built and all brand new. I think about the people who paid to have it built, and what they planned to use it for. Sometimes it is a business building that closed, other times it is a house. Sometimes it is the shell of what was once a beautiful home. I myself have thought about how nice it would be to have a home that was built to my designs. When people build homes or businesses they do not see the dark future day when their beloved building will stand empty and alone falling apart, over looked , no longer the show place it once was. I wonder about how much longer it will stand there falling down until the Earth reclaims it. I then think of how on some distant date someone else's dream building will stand in the same spot, making a new generation happy.
Ok you can call me weird if you want to, others have, but it is just me being me . smiles

I spoke to my niece today ( her daughter is pregnant) I had suggested the name Ricki Jean, but she did not like it. My great niece is thinking of calling the baby Oaklynn if it is a girl. Why she would want to name her child after a city is beyond me, but I bet she gets teased in school if she uses that name.
I pointed out to the grandma that oak or even oaklynn is a really bad name for a girl. I totally get the mom can name the child anything she wants, but I think they really should think less about giving the child and unusual name that will make them stand out from the other kids, and think more of a name that would be accepted by the other children and not make the child a subject of ridicule.
I know only too well what it feels like to have a bad name and have kids tease you about it. I never use my first name, because when my brother was little he could not say it. I will not tell you what he said, but I did not like being called that. Even Jane is not a great name to have when you are a kid. You will get see Jane run run Jane run when you are little, and then when you get a bit older you get Hey Jane where's Tarzan. The bad thing about it is there were many famous people named Jane over the years, and no one recognizes them when making comparisons. There were 2 Jane Seymour's and one gave birth to a prince. If you do a search you will find many successful women named Jane, but some never reach their true potential, because of the teasing from their school mates.
Shakespeare said, "What's in a name a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Would that that actually applied to real lives. I have noticed quite often what someone is named will effect their personality as they grow. I could offer a few examples but no need to drag any specific,just watch the actions of people who have the same name and you will see what I mean by their personality being effected by their names.
I say choose your children's names slowly and wisely, because they will have to use them a longgggggggggggggg time.

I see more and more stories about free college, free healthcare, free, free, free!

Jefferson spoke pointedly to this: "Remember, a government that will give you anything, will take from you everything."

Frankly, I really couldn't have said it better myself!!

A Kentucky State trooper pulled a car over on I-75 about 8 miles south of Richmond, Kentucky. When the trooper asked the driver why he was speeding, the driver said he was a Magician and Juggler and was on his way to Lexington to do a show for the Childrens Hospital. He didn't want to be late.The trooper told the driver he was fascinated by juggling and said if the driver would do a little juggling for him then he wouldn't give him a ticket. He told the trooper he had sent his equipment ahead and didn't have anything to juggle.The trooper said he had some flares in the trunk and asked if he could juggle them. The juggler said he could, so the trooper got 5 flares, lit them and handed them to him.While the man was juggling, a car pulled in behind the State Troopers car. A drunken good old boy from London got out, watched the performance, then went over to the Trooper's car, opened the rear door and got in. The trooper observed him and went over to his car, opened the door asking the drunk what he thought he was doing.The drunk replied, “You might as well take me to jail, cause there ain't no way I can pass that test.”

It is not easy staying true to yourself when others try to force you into molds of what they think you should be. The thing is EVEN IF you go through the motions and do what they ask to appease them, DOES IT REALLY COUNT. When someone you care about tries to change you into what they think you should be instead of allowing you to be who you are, and accepting the real you, does it count? I think truth and honesty in a relationship is more important then giving in and doing things that are against your true personality just to make someone else think you are cool. Real friends will accept you the way you are even if you do not always do things the way they want you to do them. I once told a friend of mine who was trying to change her b/f into what she wanted him to be, " Real friends do not try to change their friends. They accept them the way they are, and if you can not accept your friends as they are you go find new friends that fit the mold of what you think your friends should be." We get one life in this world and I can tell you from past experience, you will be far more unhappy if you try to force yourself to do or be what someone you care about wants you to if it is not how you truly feel. I do many things that others think are mistakes. Writing this blog will probably be one of those things, but what ever I do I do because I am me, not because I am a piece of clay that someone else has molded into what they think I should be like. There are many people I value in my life both on and off the net. I would hate to lose any of them, but I refuse to try to force myself into doing something I do not feel in my heart is the right thing to do just to make others think they are right.
I am 63 years old. I am not perfect in anyone's eyes by any shape or form, but I try to do my best to help people when I can, and if other people can not understand me or accept me then I think that is more about their personality then mine. I have never one time told a friend be how i tell you to be or we will not be friends any more, but I get that attitude from friends a lot. Maybe it is a quark in my personality, or maybe it is not, either way I always try to be true to myself.
There are people out there who hate my blogs, and that is ok. I think everyone should be allowed to have their own opinion. Just remember this though YOUR OPINION IS NOT LAW. Everyone is free to say and think what they want this is America where we have the right to free speech, even if not everyone agrees with what you say. I once heard a quote: " I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend with my life your right to say it." I think those are great words.
I am not a politicization who changes what ever they say to meat the wishes of what ever group they are talking to at the time. I say what I think. It may not be popular but it is honest. ANYONE WHO DOES NOT LIKE IT CAN EITHER DEAL WITH IT OR NOT READ MY BLOGS take your pick.

I got up this morning to the sun shining brightly in my window. That is a lovely change from the dark clouds and chilly weather from yesterday.
I got a message from a friend who does not get on line much anymore. He and his wife had a lovely baby girl 4 months ago. She is so cute, with a bright happy smile. I think it is great something so beautiful can come out of the middle of this pandemic. It is a testament to the the human spirit, when people say to themselves " I am not going to let all this hardship keep me from living my life.
Started a painting for my nephew last night and ended up painting my hand a little when I was doing the background. The moral here is do not paint when you are sleepy. lol
Hope that sun hangs around the rest of the day, because I am going to try to get out in it in a little while. Hope everyone has a nice sunny day.

Why You Should Cry - 5 Reasons to Let It All Out

Nobody likes to cry, especially in front of others. Crying often times leaves individuals feeling vulnerable and at times even broken down or weak. However, when it comes to crying there is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, crying offers many different health benefits that may cause some to argue that we should be crying more often.Five Health Benefits of Crying Here are five amazing health benefits of crying.
Crying can improve your moodHave you ever noticed that you generally feel much better after you’ve had a good cry? There’s a reason for that. When we cry we are actually relieving our body of countless toxins and hormones that contribute to elevated stress levels. This in turn can help individuals to sleep better, strengthen their immune systems, and avoid gaining weight. By lowering our stress levels, crying may also help lower our blood pressure.
Crying can improve your vision. How do you feel after a busy day when you haven’t had a chance to drink much water? Chances are you’re pretty thirsty and perhaps a bit dehydrated. Our bodies require water to keep us going and to help us stay hydrated. Our eyes aren’t much different from the rest of our bodies; they too, need water to stay hydrated. When we cry we are really helping to re-hydrate our eyes which can help increase our ability to focus our eyes and improve our overall vision.
Crying can help protect your eyes. Every day we expose ourselves to thousands, if not millions, of particles of dust, dirt, and other debris. These particles are often too small for us to see, however, they can and do make their way into our eyes. This can cause irritation and potentially harm our eyes and in turn, our vision. When we cry, our eyes are actually cleansing themselves which can help to remove these irritants and protect our eyes. In addition, tears contain lysosomes, a powerful anti-bacterial chemical that helps fight infection.
Crying can help clean our noses, too Very few people realize it, but our tear ducts are actually connected to the insides of our nose. This means, when we cry, we get the same benefit of flushing out bacteria and irritants from our noses as we do with our eyes.
Crying can strengthen our relationships with others Yes, crying does make us feel more vulnerable and we often try to avoid crying in front of others at all costs. When we can’t hold it in any longer though, we are often left feeling ashamed or embarrassed. However, crying in front of others shouldn’t be viewed as a bad thing.When we cry in front of others we are inviting them to see a different side of us. They can see our feelings and emotions in a way that no words can portray. This can create a deeper emotional bond between family, friends, and those around us.So, next time you feel your lip begin to quiver and your eyes begin to fill, don’t hold it in! Let it all out and enjoy all of the health benefits those tears have to offer!

I found this interesting. And considering my eye doctor says my vision is great for someone my age I am wondering how much crying has to do with it. I do a lot of crying. My feelings are hurt very easily, and crying it out is much better in my mind then letting all my anger erupt. I can be quite evil when I am hurt or angry. If I have a good cry bu the time I am done crying I do not feel the anger so intensely. Unfortunately sometimes the hurt feelings never fully leave. If this article is correct it is a good thing to have a good cry if you feel you need one.
