May you be free from fear...          May you be free from desire...
May you be blessed with unity...                            May you be blessed with peace...

What will you ask?

After listening to David Isay, the creator of Story Corps, discuss the top questions people ask of each other... what a great list of questions for those of us who are socially conversationally challenged! It's almost that small talk time of year again. Ugh! It's also, oftentimes, the only time we hang out with certain relatives, why not get the low down on their lives and make good use of the time... just sayin' if my Grandparents were alive that's what I would do. Hindsight 20/20 and all that.

​Grandparents
  • Where did you grow up?
  • What was your childhood like?
  • Who were your favorite relatives?
  • Do you remember any of the stories they used to tell you?
  • How did you and grandma/grandpa meet?
  • What was my mom/dad like growing up?
  • Do you remember any songs that you used to sing to her/him? Can you sing them now?
  • Was she/he well-behaved?
  • What is the worst thing she/he ever did?
  • What were your parents like?
  • What were your grandparents like?
  • How would you like to be remembered?
  • Are you proud of me?

The last one really gets to me. Before I do another session with a psychic I'll look up better questions. I can also use the questions on the StoryCorps website for upcoming uncomfortable moments with basic strangers at Holiday gatherings. There are lots of lists of questions for all different people and situations. Yeah! Cool! Here's the link again

    Intro
    I decided back in November 2015 to make my poetry available and journal online. I'm not exactly sure what "blogging" means but I am quite sure this is an online journal. Feel free to read on with an aire of open minded curiosity. At no time do I intend to offend, judge or pretend to know anything really, I'm just an observer and explorer, as we all are. Feel free to "boldly go" through my observations and perhaps it will spark or inspire. Comments are off because I don't want to be worried about political correctness when I'm writing. I'm not thinking about "you." I'm just writing because it feels "right". Feel free to enjoy or surf on.
