I'm sure many people would say that those who achieve wealth, power and/or fame are successful. True, these can be an indicator & for some those are the only ones that are important. To me they only matter if, those who have attained to those levels actually use it for the greater good. Personally,... Sign in to see full entry.

Those Cute, Humorous, Touching, etc Vids
I'm not referring to shows or films that you might stream as I do through Roku, but, ones on sites like YouTube. There are all manner of vids shown on there. Some have even achieved minor celebrity by creating a vlog or web series that attracts a lot of viewers. I don't usually have time to watch... Sign in to see full entry.

Always in Fashion?
There are different types of clothing styles. I've never been one to follow trends. I think it's best to wear what's most complementary on a person & what makes them feel comfortable. One thing that has been carried through the generations & worn by all kinds of people are jeans. I'm referring to... Sign in to see full entry.

Preserving Languages So They Don't Become Lost
There are roughly 7000 native languages worldwide. It's estimated that by 2050 90% of those will have become extinct. I can't find the number yet for those already having become a dead language, but, I'm sure that is high as well. There's probably more than two reasons as to why they die out. I...

Earning Doing What You Love
I think we'd all like that. Some know early on what they want to do. Which can sometimes involve several years of schooling, training or both. Dancer, lawyer, chef, engineer. Just to name some examples. Others don't have a particular path they're following, but, over time find something that fits... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling Alive
It's different for each of us what causes that in us. For me it's my volunteering. It makes me passionate, enthusiastic, determined, inspired, uplifted, enriched. To name a few. It's the main bright spot in my life. There's been a lot of ups & downs for awhile in my & Ron's life (not with our... Sign in to see full entry.

Burning Bridges
Not literally. That's when you've decided to end association with a person or situation. Or, they have with you. For myself, I say, that I don't burn bridges unless I never intend to pass that way again. I may not continue on with certain people, because, they've hurt or harmed me in the past(my...

Missing Blue Nose Pit (Royal) in Ukiah, CA
The following is from my friend. It's her & her family's dog. I've been posting to various Facebook groups about Royal. I've also been posting at other sites. I had told her that sometimes animals can be picked up & taken into different towns or across county lines. I don't know if anyone is from... Sign in to see full entry.

A Change is Going to Come (or Not)
I'm the type of person that doesn't care much for change. Though, I realize, some of it's good. I do like it at times. Especially, if I have a say in the matter. Then again, sometimes even when it is my choice, I don't always like it. It was just something that needed to happen. As they say, change... Sign in to see full entry.

That's So You
We all have different characteristics, qualities, interests, etc that make us who we are & others say, that is just like them. There are various things I've heard from friends of what comes to mind when they think of me. One that I get more often is, I never met a stranger. It's not always those... Sign in to see full entry.

In the Air
Whether outside or in your/someone else's home. Whether it was wafting on the wind or something you created. There are all sorts of scents around us. Admittedly, some aren't pleasant. Those who live near a sewage plant can attest to that. This is about aromas that we find enticing. For me, some of... Sign in to see full entry.

What's in a Name?
I think many of us don't really care much for our names. I know I never have. My first, middle & maiden name are all of French origin. My married name is Italian. I've always liked my middle name. Neither that or my first are common. Though, for my first, the Irish spelling is more typical. I don't... Sign in to see full entry.

So, I Usually Like to Save...
I've mentioned before that I like sales & to go to bargain/discount/thrift shops. Often, the quality between item A, B, C or D is the same or similar. If you're also able to save with B, it seems the obvious choice. One thing I will spend more on is, car maintenance. The car we have now is used... Sign in to see full entry.
Happy Thanksgiving to All of My Blogit Friends
A happy belated one to those in Canada & a few other countries who have their own Thanksgiving, such as, China, Germany & Liberia. For those celebrating in the US, hope that you have an enjoyable day, no matter who you're with or what you'll be doing. It's just my husband & I this year. Didn't... Sign in to see full entry.
