Day twenty-two of #JusJoJan!
I’m going to try to write on each of the prompts!
Today the prompt is:
Your prompt for January 22nd 2018, brought to you by the friendly and nautically inclined Captain Jill, is Liberty.” Use it any way you’d like in your post. And make sure you visit Willow at her blog, “Capt Jill’s Journey” to read her post and say hi! Here’s her link: https://captjillsjourneys.wordpress.com/
Liberty
When I read the prompt, the first thing I thought of was Catherine Tate’s Nan character, who says (excuse the colourful language!) “What a f-ink liberty!” to anyone who is doing something she doesn’t approve of.
Image from Google
What is liberty though?
A state of freedom. A right or a privilege.
Yes, they are the real meanings, but more often than not, in today’s age, we talk about people taking liberties.
Expecting things to be there for them, or done for them, without much effort from themselves… Know a few of those….
Then I checked the Urban Dictionary and the top definition for Liberty was this:
Liberty
A stunning, well wishing, sweet, cute, amazing, funny, adorable, good hearted (I said that she was absolutely stunning right?) girl with every intention to make others happy. She’ll always is there for you when you’re feeling down to cheer you up. All the boys want her desperately.
Person1: Dude I’m so happy right now.
I got this girl who is so stunning.Person2: Ah, damn you got yourself a Liberty your lucky
Did make me giggle!
See you tomorrow!

Day twenty-one of #JusJoJan!
I’m going to try to write on each of the prompts!
Today the prompt is:
Your prompt for January 21st, 2018, brought to you by my dear blog sis Willow, is Silence.” Use it any way you’d like in your post. And make sure you visit Willow at her blog, “Willowdot21” to read her post and say hi! Here’s her link: https://willowdot21.wordpress.com/
Thanks, Sis!
Silence
Silence can be truly golden.
It can show the peace, the spiritual sanctity of a blessed mind.
A place where there is no need for words or conversations, just a feeling of contentment.
But silence can also be harrowing.
Words that need to be spoken, yet left unsaid.
A waiting period where you don’t hear a thing…
Personally, I prefer an atmosphere with the quiet (not often!) chatter of my kids, the chirruping of my birds, the purring of my cat, and the presence of my Hubby Dearest. He’s not a man of many words, but knowing he’s by my side is enough…
When in the company of friends, I want to hear laughter, and meaningful conversation.
Silence… now I need that when I’m reading!!!
See you tomorrow!

“It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts.” – Robert H. Schuller
A lovely quote Spidey, thank you.
See, running along the tracks of my thoughts this year, Spidey found another great thought encouraging positive thinking.
I can speak from experience, and confirm that if you hang on to that one positive, even in a sea of negatives, you can survive, float to the top, and sail the seas of life with happiness.
Stey positive Peeps and enjoy your Sunday !!!!!
Make sure you turn that negative into a positive, Peeps!

Linda’s prompt for SoCS this week…
Your prompt for #JusJoJan and Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “oc.” Find a word that starts with “oc” and use it in your post. Bonus points if you start and end with your post with an “oc” word. Have fun!
Occasionally, I wonder what it would have been like to have been the mother of multiple birth babies, you know, twins.
The year I was married we had 3 sets born in our family and close friends. I have a set of cousins who are twins, and their sister gave birth to 2 sets as well.
After marriage, one of my cousin’s daughters fancied herself as a palmist, and read my palm, telling me I would have triplets!
Obviously that didn’t happen!
But is it double the fun? Or double trouble? It would be 100% a full time occupation!
There are so many hardships: the expense, the lack of time and arms, the tiredness, the juggling schedules… but the joys you get are also double, and if you were looking for a ready-made family, then getting two for one is a perfect deal!
Triplets or any more would just be being greedy, and as for that mum who had eight – Octomum – that’s just crazy… octuplets!
That’s it for me today!
Happy Saturday Peeps!
But I Smile Anyway...
