Good old experiences

Daily Prompts: Salad Days.
Is there a period in your own personal life that you think of as the good old days? Tell us a story about those innocent and/or exciting times (or lack thereof)

No, not exactly. But I think about my teenage life as a lot of fun in a life with good music and lots of friends.
Actually I don’t feel very comfortable with thinking in terms of ”good old days”. I like more to think about periods in my life that brought a lot of experiences to me.

The time in my life that brought lots of interesting and exciting memories to me is when I lived in the United Arab Emirates. So different from my usual life in Sweden. I had the opportunity to get to know many arab friends in the country as well as arab friends from other countries – from the Middle or Far East – yes friends from all over the world. I lived in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. We travelled all over the seven Emirates. This is the period in my life that I appreciate the most. People were so friendly and openminded. I learnt a lot about humans, different cultures and ways of living.

This happened in the early 80-ties.

No – just wait

Daily Prompt: Waiting room.
”Good things come to those who wait.” Do you agree? How long is it reasonable to wait for something you really want?

HAIKU – Senryu

No, I don’t agree!
Good things come to all of us.
Just wait and you’ll see.

Precious presents

Daily Prompt: Made by hand.
What’s the best present you’ve ever received that was handmade by the giver, not store-bought? Tell us what made it so special.

Got a ”diamond” decorated box
from my son.
Got a blue tree glass medallion
from my eldest daughter.
Got a black pearl copper ring
from my youngest daughter.

Precious presents saved and still
creating happiness in my heart.

Pop-up Apps and quotes

Daily Prompt: Ready, set, done!
Our ten-minute free-write is back for another round! Tap away on whatever comes to mind, no filters attached. (Feel free to edit later, or just publish as-is).

I find it a bit irritating that ”the wrong” can be spread so easy and so quickly in Internet. It’s dangerous and of course misleading. So I hope researchers soon find an app that pop-up a note/sign to show if a statement is correct.

Just my thoughts today concerning: Meryl Streep’s quotes which are not hers

Wake your soul!

Daily Prompt: No time to waste.
Fill in the blank: ”Life is too short to _____.” Now, write a post telling us how you’ve come to that conclusion.

Life is too short to …
use the word ”not”.

Just go for it
enjoy, experience and learn
talk, listen and mingle
visit, travel and explore.

If you do – you live
If you do ”not”
you need to shake and
wake your soul.
