First, let me say to all of
you on this Memorial Day, remember all the military people that served, are
serving, or especially the ones that gave their lives in the line of duty. Also, remember all who have passed on. When I was growing up, my parents took me and
we went to several grave yards where close relatives were interned. Always put flags on the graves of ones who had
been veterans along with flowers on all, especially my grandparents’ graves.
Now, I have previously
covered the simple phrases, “why not” and “what if”, so now I want to cover one
other simple phrase, “why did I do that?”
This is probably one of my most used phrases. Why, because I do things that later have
caused me pain in one way or another or it made matters worse. You know what I am talking about, like
locking your house or car with the keys inside, lifting something that is way
too heavy for your back, or saying something negative to your spouse. Why oh why did I do that! Sometimes you know right away and sometimes
it takes a matter of hours or the next day.
The fallout can last quite awhile, especially if it is something you
said to your spouse (grin). Now, why did
I say that? My wife reads my blog
sometimes.
Now why did I move that piano yesterday? I feel it a bit today.
ReplyDeleteWhy did i start a blog? Maybe i was told it was habit forming, addictive, but,,did i listen? So, here i am, day after day,,,on and on,,,
ReplyDeleteO yeah, forgot to mention,,I LOVE IT.
ReplyDeleteSixbears, Exactly!! I am now feeling the affects of lifting too heavy things yesterday. Of course I will go do it again today. I am a slow learner.
ReplyDeleteTrouble, you write it so we can read it.
I've got a Koozie that says "To err is human, but to really screw up you need a computer." Pretty well says it all.
ReplyDeleteDavid, ain't that the truth. Been there done that (grin)
ReplyDeleteI wish I'd told my kids more often that I love them.
ReplyDeleteGypst, me too. It is too late for my oldest of two. He died in a traffic accident.
ReplyDeleteI grew up in Evans City and the cemetery is where The Night of the Living Dead was filmed..so for me cemeteries are where you get brave or run...we always went there on Halloween. It can be a creepy place after sundown. It's on top of hill outside of town in the woods. The town now has a zombie fastible in Oct. Today I plan on lifting something to heavy. We are replacing the roof on a spring house in the woods. My husband built the roof at our house..its metal. I will have boots, jeans and a longsleeve shirt ( its 90 degrees) we don't worry about snakes but underbrush/thorns and ticks.PA is a jungle right now and will be until Oct. Could use a pair of boots like your mom's.
ReplyDeleteJill, didn't they also use a shopping center in Pittsburgh for that movie? Don't lift too much weight and be careful.
