Fun stuff.
I\'ve been happy to be alone for quite some time and talking to myself is somethng i do often but mostly it\'s \'come on then you old git, better get it done\' or similar.

That Empty Chair.

A time of living alone can suddenly bring grief and I should imagine an empty chair is one of the trials when rmeal times come round. My heart weeps as I read this my friend.

Life can be so bloody cruel! At a time when your positive nature had you in a new lease of life along comes corona with solitary confinement. Difficult at the best of times for anyone faced with months of this and for you, in your time of loss, all the more unkind.
Missing and grieving are a fact of life when loved ones are taken so allow yourself full flow of emotions when you need to.
You know tomorrow there will be brighter days for whatever purpose and in finality you will again be together.
Wishing you strength of will today.... stay safe

Days in Life.
dusk arising said:

Coincidentally i took up ukelele last year. A £9.99 purchase in Aldi. The strings were awful and were quickly replaced. It\'s very rewarding to reach out and grab it (always within a metre of where i sit relaxed) and sing along. Just basic stuff. Mines one of the tiny ones (can\'t believe i just typed that) and as a six footer i need a bigger one (nor that) and i shall be getting one when they allow me out to endanger the world again.

I totally share the words of your writing today. You and me are blessed with a positive outlook though and i do believe that makes a tremendous difference.

I wish i could be out and about offering help in these times. I\'d love to make someones day a special day with a favour, a chat and maybe a shared cuppa.... let\'s see what the future holds.

Hello Goldfinch60,

A wonderful write and so true of life.

Its only in recent years that I am seeing my bad experiences and periods in life as episodes that have strengthed my character.

Gosh, many years ago I would get angry.

Keep healthy and writing.

HEEL !

Ha ha, now am i calling out an instruction to a dog or calling the dog owner a name?

Get thee behind me satnav.

What a lovely thing our language is. Did you hear about the dyslexic devil worshipper who sold his soul to santa?

A & B here - Coloured boiled eggs for breakfast - Tradition ! Good Easter Sunday. Nothing quite like a bit of Gershwin to lift the Spirits on yet another *COVID 19 DAY* Many Seniors - lockedown & alone - thank GOD for DOG for companionship & walkies.
Love the droll poem ! A doggone case of mistaken identity - We guess.

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours

Dream to Where.
dusk arising said:

A mystical dream indeed. So frustrating too as on awakening the shape of our brain waves literally change and the mystical world of dreamland fades.

Subconsciously, for obvious reason, you romance with thoughts of passing from this life i guess. So a dream will reflect some of this.

Many a thing is written of such matters but we shall know the truth by experience only.

Your faith is strong and you are humble, maybe there is a given purpose for us all and yours is being slowly revealed to you.

Dream to Where.
orchidee said:

Good write Gold.
Some bad dreams use up energy, I find - mental energy?
You going up a tower or something? Or stepping into..... don\'t know what?
I had not a dream exactly, but woke up and could smell flowers as if in a meadow.

Back to the Seventies.
dusk arising said:

Blimey, look at you back then. During the 70\'s i was in several bands/groups and looking back on the stuff i wore on stage is making me smile. Perhaps my hey-day was early 70\'s when i fronted a soul band wearing a n-gg-r brown pinstripe 3 piece suit which made me feel quite the \'dogs b-ll-cks\'.
There were \'loon pants\' budgie jackets, ox-blood zip-up boots and later that same era came those stacked soles and baggy trousers. Thank goodness we were youngsters. I have no idea what is fashionable now but an awful lot of people do just seem to look a mess.
My current look is shaven head and a goatee beard which i am allowing to grow as long as it will throughout this isolation period.

Thanks for giving me a good humourous read and taking me back to those formative years. Stay safe.
