Two Geese Together

Caption the photo. Can you come up with a caption for this picture?

The photo shows two geese together and 1 of them is on the grass, eating. The other standing by, waiting so patiently.

My caption is below:

Would you hurry up. You just had to come back for seconds, my feet hurt. Let’s go. 😉

Racial Profiling, Why Are You Shadowing Me?

Racial profiling while shopping-video message

Shopping in peace is all we want to do. Why is it that African Americans and the Hispanic populations get followed around the store? Racial profiling exists and it is time to put these stores on notice. Why Are You Shadowing Me? is a video message about just that. What can we do to stop the discrimination and unfair treatment?

Share your thoughts about this issue.

As always, thank you for watching! 🙏 Stay well and be blessed! 💕

Try Something New for The Brain

Try something new

Trying new things does wonders for the brain. It helps us to grow and challenges us to break out of the comfort zone. Adding new skills helps to keep our brain sharp. Also, it can be scary to try something new.

All kinds of thoughts go through your mind. You question,
can I really do this? Why do I even think I can do this? Am I crazy, I can’t do this. Be careful not to talk yourself out of it. If you are thinking about changing your mind about trying something new. Just ask yourself, what is the worst that can happen?

If you succeed, great! If you fail, at least you know and can say that you at least tried. The failure is only when we do not try. Discovering whether or not we can do something is valuable information.

What happens when you learn something new

  • A feeling of accomplishment that you were able to do something you thought that you could not
  • You gain knowledge that you can use for the future
  • It opens new opportunities and sparks new interests
  • You can overcome fear and release that doubt in yourself
  • It helps our mental health by boosting your brainpower
  • Improves self-esteem

Things to try to give your brain that work

  • Drive a new way to and/or from work. Change your route so that you don’t have the same route home. If you know where all the potholes are and it is second nature, it numbs the brain right?! It requires no brainpower, where is the fun in that. A new route will require the brain to be more alert, and it will require you to think about where you are going
  • Learn a new language. This is fun and your brain will thank you. You get to have new conversations and make new connections. Even if you do not become fluent in a new language you have learned a new skill
  • Like to dance? Try to learn a new dance. It makes you smile, it is exercise and improves mood. Join a dance class if there are any in your area. Also, check out the many videos on the internet and try these at home too.
  • Try crossword puzzles and jigsaw puzzles as well. These give the brain practice too. Playing cards is another way to help boost memory.

Conclusion

As you can see, you don’t have to try something that is outrageous or outlandish. Start with something on a small scale then expand it to as big as you want. The important thing is to enjoy yourself and expand your brainpower.

Four Faces of Mother Nature

Four Faces of Mother Nature

Fall Leaves
Fall in line with the leaves on a tree branch 
The wind blows them as they do a random dance
Just enough heat and the right amount of cool
Better enjoy it now, maybe take a dip in the pool

The hawk is approaching as winter nears
Cover up the hands, head and the ears
Not much sunlight this time of year
Short days, long nights as the spring appears

Itchy throat, runny nose, watery eyes
The price to pay for warmer months is the demise
Flowers are blooming and the bird's chirp
Just hearing it brings about a smirk

It's time for summer dresses and vacations
New clothes for those far away destinations
Places to make memories, relax and have a ball
Knowing that soon autumn will fall

Four Faces of Mother Nature is written in response to the W3 Prompt #157.
