If you are always trying to be normal
you will never know how amazing you can be.
Maya Angelou
For a time I didn’t think I was normal
I was so very miserable
I tried really really hard to be normal
It was so very terrible.
Just being me would have to do
It wasn’t a bad thing
This just being me was easy
It was quite amazing
Now when I look at other people
They surely aren’t normal either
People are who they are meant to be
Of this, I am a believer
In Other Words prompt and my response.
“If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?”
Milton Berle
I think Mr. Berle is onto something.
It seems to me that when a woman gets pregnant
along with a baby growing there should be
an extra arm and hand that sprouts at the waist.
It would be fully grown and operational
when the baby is born.
When the child goes to first grade it
would drop off and disappear.
I thinkk this sounds quite reasonable.
There is the added plus that once the third arm falls off
the mother gets a new wardrobe because she
no longer needs clothes with an extra arm hole.

The A to Z Challenge
letter today is
I love hot soapy water.
Bubble baths are the best.
Whatever may be bothering me
be it physical, mental, or emotional
a hot bubble bath makes everything better.
Hot showers are good, too.
Not quite the same as a bubble bath,
but a great quick fix for a tired achy body.
I even like to wash dishes.
It is kind of relaxing to wash dishes
and it’s a good time to just ponder life.
I will admit that I am very glad that I have
a dishwasher so doing dishes by hand
never becomes a daily chore.
Just give me some hot water and bubbles and I am happy.

A to Z Challenge
letter today is
There are people who are kibitzers.
We all know one or two.
These people are experts and authorities on everything
and they are always ready to give an opinion and unasked for advice.
The giving of their opinion is okay I guess, everyone has a right to their opinion
even if they know nothing about the subject.
But giving unasked for advice as a self-proclaimed expert or authority
well, we need to be putting the kibosh on that!
I missed posting last week.
I planned to have a post for it, but it just didn’t happen
so I will have a twofer today.
The prompts are
# 11 Someone who inspires you
#12 Your favorite personality trait
There are so any people who inspire me.
There are those who are no longer living,
but I am focusing on those who are in my life today.
I have friends who inspire me every day.
They are kind and generous, have wonderful humor,
are smart, humble, strong, and helpful.
They encourage me, laugh and cry with me,
tell me the truth be it good bad or ugly, and
most cherished by me, they pray for me.
They inspire me to be a better person because
they believe I am better than I am.
I want to be the kind of person they think I am.
I love them dearly.
I am thankful they are in my life.
The traits listed above are ones I appreciate in others
and hope I have at least a smattering of all of them.
The trait I have that is my favorite is
my sense of humor.
I laugh easily and people around me
seem to laugh.
Well, most but not all. I guess some folks just don’t get me.
I am grateful that I do have
a good sense of humor.
It has gotten me through some rough times
and makes the good times even better.
So, there it is my grateful twofer.
