Martha Stewart

What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?

Martha is an American Icon of achievement and is a lady who has had in many people’s eyes “it all”.

I only know snippets about her life, To be honest she seems like a fantastic business woman who perhaps crossed the line and ended up unceremoniously in jail only to come back with new business ideas and lifestyle advice for everyone. Al Capone is spinning  in his mouldy grave.

“Jeez,why didn’t I think of that”

Still Martha at the end of the day has to live with herself and her own thoughts.Indeed that is what made her.

No one else can be Martha Stewart and to be honest we shouldn’t want to be.

Be at Peace with yourself and leave the false Gods to the Media Hype.Did you boil a kettle and  successfully make a cup of tea or  think about a person or situation in a positive way, I assure you, you’ve got it made.

The picture is of the headstone of Martha Ridding, Although she only lived until she was 19,she was no less important to this World than Martha Stewart

And with that thought  I wish you all Peace. Peace comes in many forms and if you find it when you are on this Earth you are a lucky person.

Namaste.

The Demon Editor

Who would you like to talk to soon?

Ah…what joy life brings and what laughter.

Perhaps we are all on this planet to smile at each other and laugh at each other’s jokes.

And then life happens,there is pain,illness, failure and problems to overcome.Nothing is like what we want it to be.

And then…you hear about the  Editor, who at the  touch of a suite of buttons can edit everything so it sounds and looks fabulous. So reality fades away and you think all your problems are solved and life is edited to be exactly what you want it to be and you decide I want to talk to them.

But it’s not that straightforward, the Editor is part Demon and you have to negotiate with them about the good edits and the  bad edits.Would you still want to meet up and talk.Yes I probably would.

What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

When I wear my red swimsuit it means it’s warm and I’m near the ocean.

The Art of Discussion

Daily writing prompt
What topics do you like to discuss?

The Art of Discussion to all intents and purposes for the mass of people has died and gone to hell.

Perhaps, lively conversation and meaningful exchanges of ideas occurs sometimes among the “chattering classes”, but in the main by definition the “chattering classes” are superficial and perhaps make more noise than sense.

So to answer the question , what topics do you like to discuss, well I can’t , my brain is wired to wanting a solution, spending time listening to a myriad of possibilities and options is draining and is darkened by the fact that it may not even come up with a sensible conclusion.

I like to think I can follow and argument, but that doesn’t mean I want to follow you. Particularly if you wish to persuade me that actually you know the solution to everything and that the World is a very unfair place.

Persuade, that’s it, no one wants to discuss anything they want to persuade you. We are all just algorithmic click-bait.

The End

No.

Write about a time when you didn’t take action but wish you had. What would you do differently?

No, that has a whiff of regret about it and perhaps is  not worth a mention.

Move on.

Behaviour

What makes you nervous?

I was nervous and irritable at the behaviour of one person today.

They are scared of their position,are threatened, but do not want to help or improve things.

So they do not help others.

My nervousness originates from the fact I cannot help them.

Like A Pro!

How do you use social media?

Yes, I have mastered Social Media by treating it like a Giant Advertising Agency I can choose to watch or just leave.

It’s useful or useless.

One click bait that struck me today was” how to attract humming birds to your hanging baskets” ..I live in the UK , we don’t have humming birds.

Sums it up really.

Motorway Mind

Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

Thoughts racing down the motorway of my mind. I am just an observer.The lights,the colours all create moods and interpretations,but nothing is permanent or even static.Memories whizz by and fade into the distance.Calculations and theories wade through the detritus of overthinking and leave the soul tired and forlorn.

I wish I could sleep
