Modern chain letters

I certainly know who my only best friend will be but here goes nothing. Because this means a lot to me personally. I'm going to make a bet, that out of my friends less than 4 will take the time to put this on their wall to help raise awareness of Mental Health (PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other mental health diagnoses) difficulties.

These Facebook posts get overlooked as one of 2 things or both: 
Speed reader and complacency 

I'm guilty of both. 
If someone cares about you, say a prayer for yourself as a blessing. 
Smiles approved and tears are allowed. 
Time to break the chains of emotional trauma?

2024

 Greetings to my garden variety blog...

it's been awhile since written and so far, flowing with the tides has me gasping for some form of normalcy in a crazy world. 

Miss the back yard and feeding the birds, it made me happy. 
Some or should I say, almost all, articles now will focus on the good or bad of the year; the in memory,etc.
Is there some disconnect or is it just me that because of a holiday, I'm suppose to grasp what and why the world changes as often as I change my underpants?

Well..
Trying to focus on types of energies has zapped me so I sleep...a lot. That's to be expected; but do NOT expect to keep explaining. Is there a need? Does anyone really care anymore?
Have we gone completely plum loco?
Am reacting to horrific news from France. What that man did to his wife is inexcusable. 
The mental health debate should not be a stigma anymore; it should be addressed but unfortunately we are in a false "woke" space. 

There are things that don't phase me as much; importance is placed where it is supposed to be needed not wanted? Just because you desire should not excuse poor behavior, or in my case, anti-social naivety due to years and years of coddling. 

Don't know what to do? Find a hobby that interests you, try getting back into a hobby you once enjoyed but pace yourself. High hopes vs low expectations is allowed because it is a way of healing. It is a part of that "essence" of things you have no or alot of control over. And by this I mean, anxiety, panic attacks, low self esteem, emotional abuse, the whole ball of wax that binds and you try desperately to unwind. It's too tight... 

Loosen the grip... on yourself.

The Entertainer

Who knew the Entertainer had lyrics by Milton Berle...
Now the curtain is going up
The entertainer is taking a bow
Does his dance step and sings his song
Even get all the audience to sing along
Yes he knows just what he must do
Knows how to bring down the house when he's through
Snappy patter and jokes
He knows what pleases the folks
The entertainer the star of the show
It was in Vaudeville
And he was on the bill
With all the singers, dancers, acrobats and clowns
There was a dog act there
Even a dancing bear
And a comedian who never lets you down
But when he came on
To sing his favourite song
He really wowed them in the cities and the towns
They came from near and far
To see the Vaudeville star
The entertainer

too tight

I couldn't open my parents urns.
Left dad under a tree stump and mom in the greenhouse.
So be it.

Mixtures

 Going through mixed emotions in the next phase of my life. 

Apartment was approved and we see it tomorrow. 

Hard to explain all the mixtures of emotions between my actions and behavior because I've been oppressed too long due to various abuses that still scar. The invisible ones turn me inside out;reacting emotionally. I just said that didn't I?  Oh dear.

Just because...

 Just because my 91 year old dad passed on last year, doesn't mean I cannot blog about the journey he put me through...

Just because... he dictated my life.

Just because... he was a very lonely man who alienated his family.

Just because... he was emotionally abusive.

Just because... I still cry in my pillow and hold my securities; my stuffed animals, a cow named Bessie my mom gave me and a marshmallow stingray.

Just because... to be continued.

Easter weekend

A new year has arrived.
A new me has arrived?
Or have I awaken at last at the end of someone else's road?
RIP Dad.
My 91 year old passed a day after Christmas 2023.
Goodbye sir.
