I asked my parents a lot of questions ... Ranging from their song to the operation of their plumbing

My parents lost their marbles at the same time.... Frequently, a memory will trigger a question about their view of an experience

Dad, were you mortified when you bought me tampons? Were you on autopilot when you were at
counter?

Mom, how did you survive your father's dementia?

Feed your curiosity about your family with questions

Daily

Daily, I am training myself to like something about myself as easily as finding a quality to loath
about myself

Certain Moments

Success, during certain moments of our lives, can be defined by functioning

Free Sunday

A neighbor and I were discussing free cultural events one Saturday night:

Me: do u want to go to the Irish Cultural center ... Tomorrow ... it's free

Neighbor : so is church.... What about your salvation?

Me: let me know about the Irish Cultural Center?

Go in the Direction of the Skid

Water was spilled on a company break room floor. A woman slipped and skidded onto the floor... I became overcome with laughter

I was disappointed in my reaction ... I had always prided myself in not liking physical comedy

Rope Lengths

My neighbor was sewing a dress while on her couch... Her toddler was crying in the background
She looked out the window and said "I am going push myself off a building" ..it was almost chilling


Her daughter is in preschool until the last possible minute ... The woman backed up her statement with " I listen to crying and yelling all day"

Ropes have different lengths

"You Don't Listen"

I am enduring a work probation .... I am receptive and verbalize a welcoming esprit for all advice on how to do and be better in presented customer service encounters

Siting at my desk, my manager informed me of a mistake... Finishing the lesson with:

"You don't listen"

Isn't it surprising the difference in personal perceptions of a shared experiences
