Which languages do you speak and how did that impact your life?

I love languages but have a quiet voice,

People rarely listen which is their choice,

Sometimes it’s probably just as well ,

As my present and past tenses go to hell ,

“Will you be well yesterday”

Is not really what I meant to say,

Still you get my gist and know what I mean

It’s best to be honest and come clean

Muy Bien and Molto Bene,

Smile and ask “Haven’t you any?”

Zanhorias , fresas o pomadoras?

The reply is  La tienda de frutas is next doras!

Languages are really fun

They tell a lot about someone,

That you make an effort is really good,

One day you’ll find you’re understood.

It’s like a moment they call eureka,

When the listener acknowledges the speaker,

It takes time and perseverance,

There’s a truth in language that overcomes

malfeasance,

Say it differently the meaning is clear

Not to learn will cost us dear.

So don’t be embarrassed about your speech

Languages are the answer to learn and teach.

What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?

Just look around,

Voices surround,

Putting themselves on a plinth

To tell you “you’re not worth an inch”

“Let me tell you how to live ,

And I’ll show you how to give “

“Your dole money”

“Will be fine honey”

“Believe in me and you’ll be fine”

“While I  fine dine you have my permission to

whine”

I could go on and on but it’s not my style

Let’s forget all about  this cynical bile,

I’ll tell you the truth about what is best,

To gaze  at Nature and get plenty of rest.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Who are you most inspired by?

Inspiration is all about,

Not just from those with clout ,

Some walk through life,

Dealing with strife,

Helping others when there’s trouble,

Standing up amongst the rubble

Finding time to give a hand

And when needs be; to  make a stand,

Their  names for many  are unknown

But from them the seeds of hope have grown….

What’s your top tip to be successful in life?

Success is such a pleasurable word,

Sounds a bit French, a Bon Accord,

But like a wasp it has a nasty bite,

And has given many a terrible fright,

A secret password to get by the guards,

Turns into  dreams broken into shards

In  a dungeon far from home,

Penniless unloved and all alone

You wonder where it all went wrong ,

You won Eurovision with a tuneless song.

You were the life and soul of every party

You smiled and pretended to be very hearty,

All the time  you worried about the end

Till eventually it drove you around the bend.

Is there a lesson, I’m afraid not…..

Perhaps no one is ever happy with what they’ve

got.

What’s a book, movie, or TV show that you wish you could experience again for the first time?

It’s a fictional film about dedication.In modern life dedication can be so easily taken for granted or indeed dismissed.

However. the. movie proves to be a force for good as the protagonist and their target learn that neither of them can be categorized as stalkers even though their friends and family express concerns .

Their roles reverse regularly and for those watching it turns out to be a reflection on attention and attention seeking.Which neither of the main characters want.

The end is not sad and in truth it’s nice to watch from the beginning again,knowing the puzzle is resolved successfully.

The final comment is the clincher ,it’s amazing what an emoji can convey.

What’s a common misconception people have about happiness?

Who are these people we are talking about and if they have misconceptions ,why?

Do they live in a bubble, and cannot see the result of their actions on others or themselves.

Well in a cartoon, evil glance with a large shiny pin, I would burst it.

What is one way you have grown this year?

To grow or not to grow that is the question.I listen to You Tube Music quite a lot.I don’t have a subscription as it’s rare that I can listen to more than two songs in a row without interruption.So why not listen to the adverts?

So the advertiser’s are definitely persuading me to grow in all sorts of ways.It’s developed this year  from buying the perfect toothbrush to  organic vegetable boxes,an Australian Anthropologist who knows the “meaning of life”: to better training for my Horse(I don’t have one) and where to buy the Best Dog Food   while performing a beautifully paced Tai Chi Walk.

All of these things might help me grow and be kinder to people,animals and the environment.I’m sure they all mean well and the presenters  would like to earn money from my subscription.

However,needs must and to grow I really need to look after my own budget.I’m afraid that is my future and I’ve embraced it.

Am I mean or sensible, time will tell.There are no quick fixes,and I handle interruptions like a spider whose web has been hit by a juicy fly. (Filed  away for later.)

What is something you wish you could tell your 20-year-old self?

When I was twenty it seemed an age,

Life was there as I turned the page,

I’m at chapter 42 now and the plot still isn’t clear,

But the story’s not over  so I’ve nothing to fear,

There’s much still to discover,

And many mysteries to uncover,

Perhaps the numbers on the page ,

Make some people want to rage 

Stick to chapters there are   less of them ,

And perhaps in summary that is the lesson.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading 🙏

Write your guide to setting healthy boundaries in relationships.

Bounding up to him like a slobbering Labrador,

Was it no wonder, he showed me the door?

I suppose it was enthusiasm rather than love,

That made him go when push came to shove,

Was it that I lacked decorum?

Or did he meet someone else on that online

forum,

I guess in truth I’ll never know ; relationships

really are  a slog,

To be honest it’s a case of love me, love my dog.
