Moss, Minutiae & Me

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

A child looks up out and forwards. An adult pushing middle age gets to look back to the experiences and memories made there and forward with hopes and dreams for a life yet unlived. Then comes a time when the looking back to the road taken is a long one and head a single track to wander slowly and with care.

This is where I am. After a transient life, I have been able to pull into a safe harbour for a while, drop anchor and breathe.

Like moss I have no roots and take in much through osmosis.

Looking out into the world completely freaks me out as I see Planet Earth absolutely out of control. No one at the helm who wishes to keep the passengers safe and cared for. I can’t turn a blind eye to the absolute carnage going on in the world. That’s not my nature, and it pains me. Deeply.

To answer today’s DP the details of my life I need to pay more attention to are the details within the details. The minutiae…In the life and living I have for this last stretch.

I’m already at one with nature, practice mindfulness, and am totally self aware..but now I wish to take it deeper.  

Time is of the essence, and I intend to give thanks and use each minute wisely and gratefully and positively as I can.

My ambition to make a difference remains.

And round the corner..

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?

Oh WP! You are soo funny. Another trick DP. Tomorrow never comes does it? So what now?

OK, I’ll play along.

To stay breathing, that’s the priority, surely?

For Patches n me to not be in be involved in any dangerous incidents or accidents. Or become unwell.

I feel like writing lots today WP, but there  are things I need to do first off.

Look, put it this way. If the worst thing that happens to me tomorrow…or any day is that I get soaking wet walking with the hound, then I’ve got off lightly.

Life can change in a second.

Best not to forget that.

Edit. There is something I will be doing today, and that is removing any gremlins from my subscribers list. I am so very grateful, humbled by your interest in anything I may have to write about….however when multiple ‘ subscribers’ arrive at once, then I know something is off. Also…There is now a propaganda person (?) who I will not tolerate turning up as soon as they can after I have deleted them. Thanks again to you all, once again, for sharing my trip on WP and especially our DP fun and games….but to the rest? Nah, not having it!

When you can’t think of a title for your blog post

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled?


From the Cambridge dictionary.. fulfilled – feeling happy because you are getting everything you want from life. Yikes! I’d better go see what Oxford says…OK, so you had to pay for that privilege. Moving on to Oxford learners..fulfilled-feeling happy and satisfied you are doing something useful with your life.

Oh dear. Do we get the idea that AI @WP has struggled a bit here?

Admittedly, some of you clever bloggers have managed to answer the DP with ease..but I don’t get it.

Why the doc pic? It’s cute.

See, today, if procrastination would just step aside for an hour or so, I need to clean my car inside and out. Himself sheds his fur at all times and doesn’t wipe his feet when stepping into said motor. Pollution and heavens only knows what drops from the sky on a regular basis makes a mess. As for the spider, who lives there rent free…well you know, cobwebs..daily.

It will take me a while and it will be hard work, but my goodness I shall be so fulfilled and happy to be doing something useful with my life!
