Ponder Pages

I know it's been awhile since I posted, sorry.  Everyone here is doing well. The husband and I are both still working. But like everyone else we can't really go anywhere. It makes me feel like we are children that did something wrong and ticked off our parents so now we are grounded for a really long time. We can go to work and come straight home and that's it. Well,if you have to stop at the grocery store and get a couple of things but that's it. I'm trying not to watch to much news because that's all there is on it is the corna virus topic from every possible angle. This thing has been mismanaged from the very beginning. Our top leadership is the biggest problem. If he thinks his coming on TV everyday is helping, it's not.  We know it's bad. We know everyone is doing the best they can with what they have.  It's a very scary time to be alive.  I do live in the country so I can go outside if I want to into my yard. But the only ...

What a world we live in.  Thursday after work I decided to stop at the store and get a couple of things. The local paper, a snack and find something to make for my supper. Usually when I get there the parking lot is not very full. I can park in a certain row close to where I drive in and kind of close to the store. But not this time. I had to go almost to the last area to find a good spot.  I got out of my vehicle. To me the energy felt weird. When I go into the store I sometimes grab a small cart because I don't get many things. They were gone. I looked where the bigger carts are and there were only two there. Now I thought this was strange. So I then grab a basket. Once in the store the energy felt intense. I remembered that the   night before the president talked on TV. I didn't watch him. I can't watch him. His voice, his face, his whole being sets me off. Not in a good way. I knew I would hear about what he said later.  When I picked up the paper I ...

Hi all! I told you I was going to try different things this year. So I've been writing a short story this week. It's something I do from time to time. The only problem is when I come up with these ideas I'm at work. It's hard most days to find the time to write them down or at least the idea of them. But I think I've found a way to write bits and pieces of them from time to time. So here is the first one I've been working on.  Right now I'm calling this one: THE PERFECT MOMENT UNTIL... As Sally sat down on the bench under a big oak tree next to the river, she kicked off her shoes and dug her toes into the sand. After a long day of standing on her feet the sand felt so good between her toes. As she relaxed on the bench a mother duck and her babies swan by. They couldn't have been more then a day or two old. One of them dashed off chasing a possible bug. When it realized they others weren't waiting for him, he double timed it peeping al...

I've been trying to figure out what I should focus on this year on Ponder Pages. I'm getting tired of complaining about people in power. I can whine and complain all I want, no one is really listening to me. So I think I have to take this blog in a new direction. I've got a few ideas I'm considering. I might from time to time post about something that happened locally. A news story. Describing it my way. I do like to do that from time time.  I could find some kind of writing prompt for a fiction short story to tell every once in awhile. I could post pictures from my life. Well, outside pictures of the life around me.  I could write about the frustration I feel with the husbands family. Or I guess even my own. Maybe not this one. I think I have to stay away from that subject.But then again, I could do it in such away that it's like fiction story. A kind of a short story with a little bit of truth behind it.You change the names to hide the realness of it...

This year will be a year were people will see things more clearly. Bullshit will be seen for what it is. If you know what I mean. As for my New Year I see things being a whole lot different then last year.  Things will be better. I will see the right signs and and follow the better path. I just might let my inner bitch come out more. So watch it. I will continue my hiking adventures. I will enjoy the people in my life more. I will write more. I will be more creative in different areas of my life. These are just a few of things I see myself doing this year.  But as usual I must be prepared for the unexpected to to pop up from time to time. When that happens:  I will pick myself up.  Dust myself off.  Start all over again. As always from me to you. Keep on pondering the pondering possibilities.

I want to say Goodbye to 2019!!! This is the kind of year that I never want to repeat. The energy of the whole year was wrong.  Things never felt right for me. There are a lot of things I would like to not see in the next year but I know somethings will get worse. But It will be a very eye opening kind of year.  Besides it will be 2020. You will be able to see more clearly. Till next year. Keep on pondering the pondering possibility. 

I know it's been awhile since I posted last but to tell the truth I have not felt like sitting down at the computer and writing. Not to say I don't have much to say. I have been busy with other things. Like we got a new vehicle for me. OK, not new, but newer then what I had, by a year. A Chevy Traverse. The first time I sat in it it felt like it was already mine. Now the husband says I won't have to wake him up an very snowy days and take me to work. I now have an all wheel drive so I can take myself. That's the biggest thing going on in my life. Except the fact I'm still waiting for my new fridge. Mine  died. All I have is a small dorm size one right now. On Black Friday when we ordered it they said it should be hear on the 15th. That date past and the husband called them to find out what was going on. They said it would not be there until after Jan. 1st. So I am not happy about that. You can't fit much in that small fridge. I can't even make a bigger meal...
