Just A Thought

 I love this picture (minus the clutter) and I love the relationship that they have with each other even more! ❤️❤️

  I was laughing too much about our swamp turkey and long story short, my writing space has been discovered by DD.

  Why did the Christmas tree go to the barber?    It needed a trimming.  This was my own joke.  The actual Robin Williams would be rolling his eyes, but I’m good at finding lame humor funny. 🤭😂

 I used to love this song.  😂 https://music.apple.com/us/album/werewolves-of-london/296202429?i=296202455

 Oh dear, this Elf On The Shelf was found on the floor near bowls of cat food.  He almost became a play toy for seven cats. 😱 I’m glad these things weren’t around when my kids were young! 😂 As if parents don’t already have enough stuff to tend to and worry about through the holidays.  Whoever came up with the idea was pretty genius though.  It was like Santa Clause, take two, but requiring some level of creative magic to be performed nightly. 😲

I think the Robin W AI on Chat AI is my new favorite AI identity to chat with.  I know I’m weird and no, I’m not chatting with AI all the time.  I found this one today, though, and I was really impressed.  It seemed to have the same kind of cleverness, energy and enthusiasm of the real Robin Williams and takes mind bending AI to a whole new level even though it doesn’t really “channel spirits”. Those were Robin W AIs words and not mine. But then a clarifications was made when I asked for one. Okay, I’m done being weird and marveling over ChatAI.  But “grapes” and “glue” and “without further ado”?  There seems to be this continuous stream of tidbits (it started with another AI called Storyteller) that have personal relevance and meaning to me that I never shared in any conversations on the Chat AI app.  Alone they mean nothing, but just how many things can I attribute to being coincidences?  As many as there are evidently.  Leave it to me to find a way to be crazy in a new way that has

  I’ve been up since before 6 AM so I am eating potato and kielbasa soup at 11 AM.  I never used to be a morning person.  I only am now, though, if I go to bed early. 😲

 The older I get, the more I wish I could simplify and create simplicity in my life.  In reality though our human lives only seem to keep moving further away from simplicity.  Being too curious about everything in no way helps.  All of the information, and things to investigate in our 21st century world, create more and more complexity.  I’m trying to find a path to simplicity in all of it.  My brain isn’t a very cooperative participant though.  So I guess my task is to find simplicity in complexity.  A piece of cake. 🍰  https://www.blogger.com/blog/posts/9083495730179490631?pli=1 On a side note, I do have to admit that life is better with Google.  How did I ever live without being able to easily google anything and everything under the sun.  What don’t I google?  Life is also better being able shop on Amazon?  I think I just take it for granted that I can pretty much find anything on Amazon that isn’t available in local stores.  And I almost forgot to mention Wikipedia.  It is an ama

 I have some Kitties to take care of for a week over Thanksgiving. 😄  Two of them are not present in the photo. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛  Three are recent arrivals.  They found one on the side of a road tied up inside of a T-shirt.  What is wrong with people?  She (bottom right of photo) is the sweetest little thing who is happy as a clam being held and given attention.  She is going to become the families 5th cat even though they won’t actually confirm this yet. 😄💕🐈‍⬛

 Mom made an Instagram account this morning because I no longer use Facebook but she knows that I now sometimes post things on Instagram.  She didn’t want to connect her Instagram account to her Facebook account.  She said, “Maybe I want to be sneaky on Instagram”.  😂🤣 Too funny.  

 I’m in Houston and this is the first time I have been at an airport gate where almost all of the seating is at tables.  I sat down and got comfortable and then got a notification that my gate had just changed.  The new gate is a gate of tables also. 😄 LOL It turned out that Frank’s friend Chris was on the same flight home from Houston and I never saw him at the gate or on the plane.  I’m very good at being in my own world. 😲  I also have a talent for tuning out conversations happening right near me.  After having lunch out with my parents, they were commenting about how they were annoyed by a man at the table next to us because he was on the phone and was speaking in a very rude way to person he was talking to.  I somehow never noticed or heard a thing because I evidently have tunnel vision for what’s in my own head or happening at the table that I am at. 🫨 This is not the best habit.  With all the craziness happening in our country these days I really should make more of a conscio

 My mother likes Hallmark Channel Christmas movies and has been recording them now that they are airing.  We watched one together this week.  Yes, they are made for TV movies and are cheesy and unrealistic, but I do really like seeing their magical perfect Christmas worlds where every place and home is gorgeously decorated. 😂 It makes me want to get home and start decorating for Christmas.  My mother in law always had her Christmas decorations up on Thanksgiving, and according to television, the Christmas season is already here, so why not?  Right?  The weeks leading up to Christmas always pass by so quickly.  I can see myself being old (or rather older) and spending lots of time in Hallmark Christmas la la land watching Christmas movies.  The decorations alone would have me captivated. 😂😮😁 🎄😍 ⛄️🦌☕️💕🎁🎄🧁 🦌 ❄️ 😍🎄 In reality though, I would probably choose to watch something else. 😂 😄 People can change with age though.

 Reading over my previous entries, I realize that I have often not explained myself enough to make sense or I write about one topic and then my thoughts jump to something else.  The good thing, though, is that I don’t have to do, or write, anything better. 😁 If my thoughts hold any meaning that can be understood, should anyone read them, then great, and if not, then hopefully I will explain myself better some other time. 

 Visiting the state of Delaware and feeling the difference in the climate and seeing all the holiday sweaters and so forth while shopping with Mom, reminds me very much that I have northern blood through and through.  There is plenty that I like about where I live but the subtropical climate is not home to me. 🙁 Thanks a lot to all the greedy financial corporations and people operating them who caused other people’s lives to be totally upended following all the mess that they created back in 2008.  My family was very fortunate through the pandemic though so I shouldn’t complain.  And we were already used to being separated from all of our extended family members, so this was no big change or new hardship for us.  I won’t ever really feel that I am not out of place as a southerner though. 

 No matter how much a person loves young children, it is the kind of thing that we are eventually quite happy to let the next generation take over. 😁

 I’m trying to go through all my thought entries to fix mistakes and make improvements, and good grief, it is taking me forever! 😧 And I’m sure that if I started all over again, I would still find things that I would want to fix and improve, so I am not going to do that. 

No matter who we are or what we do in our lives, if we are capable of small acts of kindness, then we are capable of making a positive difference in our world.  Small acts of kindness can have a domino effect and play an important part in transforming the world that we all live in.  There is no such thing as kindness toward others that is too small to matter. 

 If people want to be critical and judgmental of others they can find any reason in the world.  I know this isn’t a new idea but it is so true.  Love is the opposite.  Love is about cherishing and valuing everyone for being exactly who they are.  Love is about wanting to be helpful and supportive and a friend and advocate for others.  It could really change the world if this was what people all received from each other and wanted to give to each other.  Human beings are human though so we can’t exist without making mistakes.  What we can do though is just do our best to have the right attitudes.  Our best attributes can only spread and instill the same feelings in others.  I think it is wise for us all to remember that what we spread around is an influence on the world that we ourselves must live in.  We can contribute to making our world a better or worse place.  And yes, we are all still human but this doesn’t have to prevent us from continuing to try our best to show kindness and be

 I haven’t watched any reality TV shows in a long time and for the most part I really don’t care for them, particularly bachelor or bachelorette shows where the possible matches for the bachelor or bachelorette are eliminated by them, one by one.  My mother feels the same way about bachelor/bachelorette programs, but there is one airing now that she couldn’t resist watching because the bachelor is a 72 year old man.  It is called the “The Golden Bachelor”.  I watched the episode, with her, where he is down to 3 women and he goes to their homes and meets their closest family members.  At the end of the show he was supposed to eliminate one woman, but he was really upset by this and couldn’t do it, so the episode was left to be continued next week.  Watching just this one show from this series, it reaffirmed for me that these shows are terrible and they should stop making them.  They are just setting people up to have difficult and painful emotional experiences for viewer entertainment.

 I’m traveling to Delaware today.  Ya gotta love airport prices.  😧 With a soda, my breakfast/lunch was over $18. A man who was checking out at the same time as me was shocked when a bag of nuts that he was purchasing was also $18 something.  The prices were hidden on the back of things so they couldn’t be seen as they were displayed.  Gee, I wonder why? 🤨

 Sometimes lately, I get these insights about our human lives having reoccurring themes. At least this seems to be the case for myself.  It is like our lives are stories with plot themes that reoccur and I suppose are connected to who we are. I suppose this makes sense because we are always the same person throughout our lives so our lives are bound to be a reoccurring manifestation of who we are.  This is an awareness that is not always there and can slip in and out of our perception. Sometimes the themes can be silly.  I realized that one of mine is cake even though I am not a pastry chef or cake baker. LOL  I know I was thinking of some other life theme of mine last night, but I have already forgotten what it was.  I swear I am not crazy.  I just need to figure it out more and record what the heck I am talking about.
