I ain’t the type to grin and share

Daily writing prompt
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.

I’m not the generous type,

That kindness trip is all just hype,

When I receive a gift,

It’s all mine! So get my drift,

If it comes in a box with my name on it,

Keep your dirty little mittens off it!

It doesn’t need to be the best gift ever,

In truth nothing lasts forever,

Chocolate, Tights a New Alarm Clock,

Or maybe my long lost matching sock,

Whatever it is just beware,

I ain’t the type to grin and share

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.πŸ™

Is budgeting in a thing?

Daily writing prompt
Write about your approach to budgeting.

Is budgeting a thing? A thing of beauty or a thing of hard won discipline. Is it something we have to do or just want to do for the sake of an easy life. It’s not dangerous if we do, it but it can be dangerous if we don’t. You don’t need to be good to do it, bad people can budget too. I like to think as budgeting as a thing. A scary monster.

I’m patriotic to humanity

Daily writing prompt
Are you patriotic? What does being patriotic mean to you?

I finally am beginning to understand my feelings towards patriotism.

In truth jingoistic claims to superiority or alienating those who are have different beliefs to me do not fit into my view on patriotism.

I recently cried at our local town’s parade for War Remembrance as I saw people young and old marching up the street after leaving their wreathes at the War Memorial. I cried because we were all remembering those who have through many conflicts in the World suffered and died.

We were honouring their memory together and I felt proud of those who had taken the trouble to organise the event and also those who turned up on a Sunday morning to participate. I was only walking my dog.

I was moved and that spirit is truly patriotic.

Putting random Union Jack flags on lamposts and buildings is not patriotic and sends out a message of fear not honour. Flags can be dangerous.

Empathy? Digital World Please.

Daily writing prompt
What were your parents doing at your age?

I’d like to say climbing mountains, sailing in a boat in the Mediterranean, enjoying a good meal and a trip to the theatre, but that would just be wishful thinking. To be truthful, for some this will be a painful question and one that if our digital world had more empathy would not be asked.

Power or Law?

Daily writing prompt
If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why?

To tinker with the Law is not good. Changing one law may well affect another down the line with unexpected consequences. So whether or not I had the power to change one law I just wouldn’t, because law has to be based on what a “society wants to achieve as a whole”. The Law should apply to everyone and therefore everyone needs to buy in to it. The power to change the law and how the law is applied needs to have independent monitoring and the law must be held to account if it appears , as sometimes is the case “An Ass”

What I have got but for everyone

Daily writing prompt
Write about your dream home.

I dream of a home for everyone, that has space, warmth and all the things that are needed to enjoy life alone or with family members. There has to be a garden and everything that is a basic human need , needs to be affordable and or repairable. Neighbors will be happy to see each other and help each other when needed.

Why can’t this be I really don’t understand, but I think it is a good dream to have

Anyone spot the AI generated mistake?
