Wordy Wednesday

It is Wednesday yet again, and while everyone else is wordless I am wordy. Let's chat.

It has come to my attention that while I notice things not everyone else does. There are those that refuse to let their children grow up wanting them to be as handicapped as they were. When a grown woman admits that her mother cleaned her room, and her father did her chores when she got in trouble right up until the day she got married it makes  you realize the she still needs them to do things for her even though they are dead and buried. 

When the one that complains that things are too much work is only sitting on the internet playing games and putting off things you notice quickly. The one that is criticizing everyone housekeeping has dog feces under the bathroom sink and hasn't had a dog in months; it negates the argument that they are clean enough to eat with. They are not.

The son that unintentionally fixed it so his mother could move in with him anytime that she wanted to. The grown man that claims he wants to be an adult but will not confront the over bearing parent. The wife that claims she does not care for her husband but calls to confront his mistress. 

It is obvious that this woman is afraid that one day she will have to work to support herself; she used her children's disabilities as an excuse not to work long after they were in school full time. It is pathetic that she is afraid that her children will have lives. The fact her married child is not attached to her hip annoys her, and she denies the fact her son is a grown man. 

The only victims in this are the grown children that cannot come up with the courage to force her to respect them.

Would you risk hurting someone's feelings to have them respect the fact that you are grown?

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.

Flash in the Pan Playing Along Still

The pages were bent and ragged from years of use, covers worn out from hands rubbing over them. There were bowls everywhere, the oven was still hot. She tasted it again, something wasn’t right. It was sweet, tangy but not right. What was missing? She scanned the room again to see. Onions maybe? No, but what could it be? She hit her head on the cabinet. A pepper that was it!
