Your prompt for JusJoJan January 22, 2025, is I’ll try.

I’ll try to give people the benefit of the doubt even if they abuse the fool me once shame on me fool me twice shame on you rule. I just want to know how many times you are expected to forgive someone for screwing you over before you just walk away. Guess really though forgiveness is about you, not about the other person, not about letting them off the hook for being assholes, not about having to trust them again, and not about wanting to have anything to do with them again. You can forgive and walk away if that’s what you need to protect yourself. I’ll try to remember that.

And just enjoy a lovely January sunrise.

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 21, 2025, is content.

Content or content? Am I content with this content? What is it with English with all these words that are spelled the same but look identical? Like record and record, or project and project, or perfect and perfect and purrfect…

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 20, 2025, is antipodean.

Well, I am not from Australia or New Zealand, so I am not sure I have a lot to say about antipodean, except that I would love to visit someday. It’s a really long trip though, so I would need some time for that visit. Maybe when I retire in a few years…Although Lucy does not look happy about the thought of us being away that long…

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 19, 2025, is Why.

There are so many questions I have beginning with why.

Why are weekends so short?

Why did it take us so long to replace the door to nowhere with an amazing window?

Why do institutions pretend they care about the people who work for them while engaging in behaviors that show plainly that they don’t?

Why do people lie as if it is no big deal, and why do other people insist on believing those lies even when it’s obvious they are lies?

Why do I even bother asking?

Your prompt for JusJoJan January 18, 2025, is pack/peck/pick/pock/puck..

Why is it the first thing that comes to mind is pick a peck of pickled peppers? Pack of wolves, pecking birds, pick of the crop, pocked by pucks slamming into the door. Gotta love a set of words where the only difference is the bowls. Of course we also have peek or peak, although they are spelled without c’s. And pike, poke. Lucy is saying she doesn’t care…time for cuddles.
