Monkton Mondays!

Well, Well, Well!! Whaddya know! I almost forgot today was Monkton Monday! You know how it gets when you’re just back from a short trip and trying to get back into routine 😛 If you have a 5-yr-old of your own then you already know what I’m saying 😉 Just goes to show, how quickly things slide if you lose focus. Me, faster than most because my focus at best is fuzzy from looking at a million things that interest me at once!

Well, thankfully almost and completely are two different things 😉 And so here I am to trouble you with yet another Monkton gem 🙂 This one is dedicated to all the senior citizens in my Life – there are so many!! They  are all Ninjas in their own right albeit now more in Spirit than anything else! Which may not be such a bad thing coz these are some POWERFUL Spirits we’re talking about 😉 And although Time has reduced some parts to crumbs – they are by no means DEFEATED!

Hip Hip Hurrah to the Senior ‘Ninja’ Brigade 😀 

Have a Happy week ahead People 😀 Channel that inner Ninja 😉

Monkton Mondays!

Here we go again! A quiet weekend during which I had one conversation with Mom, which as always reminded me about the loneliness that often accompanies old age. Even in the presence of well- intentioned and loving family and friends, we are, all of us, in essence, truly alone. It’s hard for Mom, living as she has chosen to do in a large house (much too large for 3 senior citizens), with two people of dwindling speech, to find ways to amuse herself. She’s a text-book introvert too which does nothing to help her cause! And it pains me that I don’t seem to be able to help. I have solutions of course – just none that are acceptable to her! 

As you can see, the conversation wasn’t a very happy one, but miraculously we didn’t get into an argument 😛 In any event – what I need desperately and what she does too (although she’s not going to see this post) is some good old Monkton magic to lighten the mood and perk up our spirits 🙂 So here goes…

See?! I feel so much better after that Mooing session 😉

Have a great week ahead People, and anytime you feel overwhelmed – just find a spot and MOO 😛
