Six Word Fridays- Hand/Hands

button-1Barry and I hand in hand. I love Barry’s strong, warm hands. I need Barry’s help at times. His hands are always there. When I need a hand on steps. When I need a hand up. His hands are always readily there. His comfort makes me feel whole.

I have a husband deserving much. His hands deserve things my hands. Can no longer function to give. My hands shake when they function. I want to show Barry love. I want to show him appreciation. I will find another way love.  Can shine through to Barry’s heart.

I will figure a way love. Can shine through my actions daily. I need him to know love. Still shines through in my actions. He deserves that and much more. His wonderful hands show me daily. That he loves me unconditionally always. He joins me in God’s hands. God’s plan guides our daily life. His watchful hands guide us daily.

Join the fun. Follow the link below.

Daily Prompt: Call Me, Maybe

Describe your relationship with your phone. Is it your lifeline, a buzzing nuisance, or something in between?

When cell phones first came out, I hated the things. They were big, clunky and more expensive than they were worth.

Next, I landed a job that required I be on-call 24/7. To start they provided pagers (some of you younger people may not know what that is). They were a bigger nuisance, because of stopping at pay phones and keeping up with change. I hate change!

Cell phones were still toooooooo expensive. 

Over the years, as technology improved cell phones became less expensive and so much smaller! But, they were still expensive. One month, my stepson’s bill alone was over $1000. He’s lucky to still be with us.

Now that prices have stabilized and phones are more convenient. I  believe I only like my phone because it is a necessity. Being disabled, I feel more comfortable, being out alone. If my car breaks down, I can call for help. There’s a GPS on it, if I get lost and tons of games to keep me busy if any of the above happens.

I guess I will go with something in-between. I’d rather not have to keep up with it, but there are times when I would totally consider the thing a buzzing nuisance.

I never want to be put in the class of people who considers a cell-phone a life line. Will our future generations be able to talk to one another? Or write a letter, note or list if they need to? Consider me old-school or just plain old! I do not care, the convenience aspect of a cell-phone is marvelous. Everything else can be considered a buzzing nuisance!

Shine on Award

I’ll do my best, I’m getting tired and I have three more of these to do. I do love recognizing the blogs I enjoy so much.

Wayne, thank you again! The support is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for thinking of me. You are to kind!

Will lift your spirits with his motivational posts and poetry, as well as his brilliant photography. Please take a look. It is worth the trip into the blogosphere.

The Shine On Award

nominated by randomuzings and the othersideofugly

To me this award is for the blogs that shine, make you feel good and are inspiring to the reader. The blogosphere is a large place and there are so many blogs out there that deserve this

I’m going on memory for the requirements for the award, so I’m sure I have forgotten something. 

1. nominate 15 blogs, as well as recommend notable blogs that tickle your fancy.

2. I believe there were some questions to be answered, but I’m not sure. So, I plan to skip this part.

I am going with some of the newer blogs I have recently discovered, as well as a few I have followed for a while. Then my list of ‘Tickle my fancy’ Blogs are going to be a mixture of the two as well.

My nominations are as follows:

Daily Prompt: Writing Room

MM900354513-1   <~Not this!
My writing room would have three main  components, that I refuse to do without. Apparently in my old age, I’m becoming a creature of comfort.

Number one: according to the time of year, it has to be air-conditioned or heated. My old age doesn’t tolerate heat or cold like it used to. I’d love to sit outside during the spring, but my health doesn’t allow it, so I stay in my gorgeous house and keep myself busy.

Number two: I need the softest, pillow type chair on the face of this earth. I want to sit down and be cushioned in comfort. My body hurts head-to-toe all day, every day. I deserve a comfy chair to write in.

Number Three: I need a window behind me while in the chair. With enough sunlight to brighten the room up and help me see the paper, but not so bright that it is glaring on the paper or computer screen. It the sun coming in doesn’t need to heat the room up in the humid times of the year, here in the south.

I’m an oddball over a few things I need for my room.Since brain surgery, I can focus better with something noisy in the back ground, so I guess this would be a fourth part for my room: a stereo or television set. My seven-year old nephew or my mother would do to, since neither one knows how to be quiet. Barry would do too, cuz he picks the moment I start writing to talk. So I have tons of choices there!

I need a blanket for my legs and my neck supporter to keep my neck happy while I write.

The only chair currently in my home to qualify, has an ottoman. I enjoy propping my legs up. They hurt so bad at times, it just feels good to prop them up.

Now, all I need is something to drink and a bathroom closeby and I’ll be set. A small room like a half bath, with a window and all my stuff in the room, would be perfect.

I do need room for my dog to sit with me as I write. She doesn’t like to leave my side when I’m home alone. That keeps me safely in the house, so not to worry Barry. I’m actually sitting in my perfect reading/writing room now. I have everything I need right here.

I guess the purpose of this prompt is to visualize a space you would like to have. If not at home, I’d like a quiet corner in a butterfly garden. Some form of cushy chair (we could just bring my chair out of the living room), a light breeze and birds singing in the background.

I’d need a platform built to make a stable area for me to walk on. I’d like a cute little fence with a gate.I can lock the world out and keep the dog in. I’d need some form of communication device out there in case I fall. I don’t like it, but it does happen.

If it’s hot out, I’ll just write inside.
