Mind

Mind: brain, intelligence, intellect, wits, brainpower, psyche, mentality are all nouns defining the word ‘mind’ and as a verb it encompasses caring for someone, even an object or to be bothered or offended or to take offense, demur or disapprove and the definitions do go on and on.
And so for that alone we all now understand why a ‘mind’ is a terrible thing to waste! Sure we do…Gotcha, LOL!

Words always seem to mean many things when used for many reasons such as for self expression, duh… but of course, why else? As I used to say to my sweet young sadly dearly departed niece that it is all semantics! You all know that though I am quite sure, if not, here is a short but sweet tweak of whatever you may have forgotten: the study of how meaning in language is created by the use and interrelationships of words, phrases, and sentences. TA, DA, again without a net, how about that friends? I am sure that quick refresher course of its meaning was quite useful, right?

Any-who, I thought after all this time that I should explain my reasoning of my main title to all this: ‘Speaking My Mind’ (again my hands are spread but this time over the word program where all this creativity begins and ends nightly.)

I suppose what I am trying for is more of a clarification of what this is all about my lingering here nightly and discussing my personal business from personal ills to religion and politics, thrifty shopping ideas, news and weather on occasion, recipes, gardening, recycling, composting, rain barrels , inter personal relationships and the like… Geez I too could go on and on with all my definitions of what I have been doing here for nearly the last three years now, hmm… Perhaps I should find one arena to write about and stick to that all by itself? Nah, I have too many interests and shared experiences to narrow my possibilities to just one, besides wouldn’t that be even more boring? Don’t answer that…PLEASE!
When I say it like that all those many topics that is, I almost feel not so ashamed of me scandalizing my reputation that I tell all of you to protect with your lives! HA!
Come on folks it is more than nightly babble, it is my proof there is a mind still in my head or not... only time will tell… and also that I can still see well enough to continue.

Oops sorry I was doing so well, but many of us fall off the ‘DON’T TALK ABOUT THIS’, wagon, negativity, there I said it and ha to all you false Polyannas!
I feel better already!

Let’s talk honesty here, I have an illness that affects the brain, CNS and my eyesight and as anyone can imagine with this elephant in my room daily I do worry especially when I am reminded constantly by my symptoms that do not take any days off. Believe me I have offered them get-away packages (actually I yelled for them to GET AWAY!) and extra bucks, well not bucks more like ice packs and meds, but you get my point, huh?
Sorry about the Pitiful Pearl and Debbie Downer gal coming out but truth is always a terrible thing to waste.
And each day I wonder how much longer I will be able to roll over and sit here (And no, that was not a purposeful dog analogy ha! See I know what you're thinking why I can see you...KIDDING!) and do what I so love that has made me feel needed and useful and sort of capable…
Not much left that I can do, yep if the truth be known Hubby had to finish up those peanut butter cookies because I couldn’t beat the batter, and my dish washing ability is horrid with food left on due to not seeing it… and wait there’s more… But I think I misbehaved enough for one night. I had to put that out there just in case…one day this blog is no longer posted, got that?
Aw shucks that’s not fair…

Moving on…
Let me be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to ask you kindly to count those blessings and to share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square L7, got that? Ya hear?
