Three Things Challenge ~ M40

This week’s theme: music
Today’s words:  melody – harmony – song

The harmony from one of the avatar characters videos I created
this week appears to be stored in my musical memory bank. 

Over and over the repeated words ‘two birds on a wire – one says
c’mon and the other says I’m tired’ from the song I chose for the
video emitted from my mouth during and following my evening
shower.

Although my ears enjoyed the melody which appeared to keep
me in an upbeat mode, I do wonder ’bout the significance of
both the words of the popular song and this odd happenstance.

Three Things Challenge ~ M34

This week’s theme is PERSONAL

Today’s words are: single – individual – alone

Living alone often is a challenge, especially for the senior citizen.
You are one individual responsible for nearly everything, a huge
to-do task.
IMO ‘single status’ is far from what people think it’s cracked up
to be.

Loneliness is associated with a number of health risks. 
Who knew?
A fact I recently read in several medical articles states that
loneliness is comparable to a person smoking 15 cigarettes
per day.

Three Things Challenge #701

Today’s words: dawn – skip – frost

It’s nearing the end of August and the summer months will soon

be behind us.

When we access our weather apps early dawn the temperatures

for the day will have dropped into the 40s, then 30s.

Too soon the frost, the spent flowers followed by unwelcome snow.

I wish I could skip over those winter months – ones I used to enjoy.

There’s something to be said for the adage ‘Too soon we get old’.

Three Things Challenge: #685

Today’s words: injury – most – romantic

For weeks the happy couple anticipated this romantic

evening, a candle-lit dinner at one of the local expensive

5-star restaurants.

Tonight was the night they’d celebrate their first wedding

anniversary.

Young, their faces glowing, enjoying a sparkling champagne

toast painted a most beautiful picture of a loving couple.

Unknown ahead . . .

Within minutes all would soon fade replaced by visions

of foreign gray matter, the beginning of the dinner spoiler.

When appetizers were served the young man was

shocked to see several somewhat strange-looking particles

floating atop his steaming hot bowl of chicken soup.

The couple stared at the foreign ingredient. Those minute

pieces didn’t melt nor sink.

Perhaps he should have taken his wife’s suggestion and ordered

the restaurant’s fresh house garden salad.

Although no injury from what now appeared be referenced

contaminated appetizer the man suddenly experienced

loss of appetite and stated ‘no thanks’ when the waitress

brought the already ordered main course.

Poor smiling waitress met with a short-tempered patron.

‘Oh dear’ were her words as she ran off to the kitchen.

Once notified of the situation, the restaurant owner

acted in a most reputable business manner offering up

an apology plus free meals for the couple’s celebration.

The man suffering from a bout of queasiness decided

to cut the evening short.

What a sour note experience!

How unfortunate carelessness of another is the culprit

to spoil such a beautiful occasion.
