Belated Words
This is not the original story intended for words this week, the previous Yarn was derailed by Google’s saving option which failed. I tried all of the recovery options to no avail.
I am not bent on becoming stoned or wallow in self-pity, I am simply not going to give up, I shall bridle my resources and endeavour to write something worthwhile.
It has recently come to my notice that my five sons are not united in their love for one another, the dislike for the incorrigible No 5 son is common, plus 2 and 4 don’t see eye to eye but whatever their differences it is of no concern to me.
Personally, I never try to change people’s opinion of myself, if they like me -they like me if they don’t well they don’t. If you have enemies? Good, it means you have stood up for something sometime in your life. And if people don’t like you that is their problem., not yours. Maybe their sports team lost the night before or they are having a bad day, maybe you remind them of the kid who pushed them around at school. Don’t waste your time on those who do not like you, and put that energy to those who do.
The exciting part of the aging process is the bit where you start to care less about what people think about you. Alternatively, if everyone doesn’t like you, perhaps you should consider adopting a Dog, who will love you unconditionally.
We need words to keep us human. Being Human is an accomplishment like playing the Piano, it takes practice.

I feel the same, as I get younger ��, like my Dad used to say "I don't give a damn"
If people like me, love me or loathe me, I am who I am. No one pays my way, but me.
They say blood is thicker than water, you can't choose your family and friends can be enemies along with friends are better than family. And even, a dog is a man's best friend and they can't hurt you. I guess all these sayings pertain to humans being unloved, ignored, not understood, ignorant etc
But we are who we are, we're a complicated lot and that's what keeps the world going around. It would be rather boring if we all were "normal".
Have a lovely long weekend
I think, perhaps, as we get older, we all come to this same conclusion. I've always been one of those kinds of people who loves other people, all kinds of people, and I generally bend over backwards to make them happy. Know what? That can be exhausting! It's much more freeing to just be me and like people all I want, without caring a fig what they think of me. I'll not stick out my chin and invite people to kick me, and I'll shed no tears over unkind words. If they like me, fine. If not? C'est la vie. Life goes on.
Have a wonderful weekend.
My dear departed wife was the most caring person in my life, seemingly ageless and beautiful.
Testimony to her worth was the more than the expected arrival of mourners at her funeral which strangely included three ex-daughters in law. And the pleasantries at the wake a joy to behold.
How is the house coming along, Finished yet?.
