This plant is called Honesty, one of my favourites…

It is Sunday. 

Time to take a moment to catch my breath and my thoughts.

One of these should be easy, but not sure about the other.

To be honest, I don’t think that trying to catch my thoughts will be possible, as some of them have been safely packed away in a box, deliberately out of reach. 

This is sometimes necessary to make it through the day without screaming.

I often wonder what other people do when that elephant takes up residence. I suspect, like me, they ignore it for a while, hoping it will wander off and find somewhere else to play.

Because I cannot do anything about this particular elephant, I must pretend he’s not here. 

Just like I pretend there isn’t a blockage on one of my arteries…

Or a certain member of my family’s health seems to be slowly deteriorating…

Or that I haven’t a clue how we will manage if the bills get any bigger…

There… that’s all of it back in the box; now I can concentrate on all the good stuff.

Luckily, there is still a lot of it around if you know where to look…

Just when I thought it was safe to go back into the water, Microsoft Word has stopped working, and nothing I do has made it turn up. So, I have been forced to see if Google Docs is as good as they say… and I must admit, it’s not bad…

  1. Arg, I know a lot about those elephants that niggle around. Sometimes a glass of wine and drowning in mindless TV is my only savior. As for Word not working, what the actual hell? Hang tight, Mercury Retrograde is on its way, already in shadow stage where anything technical can cause woes. This too shall eventually pass <3

    1. and not quickly enough, though… but still…

  2. I know what you mean about that elephant. -hugs-

    1. I normally love elephants, too…

      1. I’m looking forward to the day when we can give them peanuts again, and a pat.

        1. That would be something to look forward to, Meeks. They have been getting the blame for far too long!

          1. lol – hear, hear!

  3. We used to cal that plant “The money tree.” Here take this bag of peanuts. Might help with the Elephant.

    1. Thanks for the nuts, John… he grabbed them and is half way down the road! Not sorry to see him go, either…

      1. Excellent. Here is some mouse scented elephant repellent. Maybe he will stay away. 😊

        1. I like your thinking, John…

          1. Ha ha ha

  4. What a gorgeous plant. I’ve never heard of the Honesty plant. Life is difficult right now for a lot of folks. Hang in there!

    1. And by all accounts, will get worse!

  5. It’s difficult all around.
