Tuesday's Question???


Hello, welcome to Tuesday's Question! This week's question is: Have You Ever Forgotten an important engagement, gift, birthday, or occasion until it was too late?  

For example, I'll answer first,  

One afternoon, when I was a teenager, my older brothers and I marched through our front door and collided like a perfect storm. Evidently, all three of us had a bad day at school.

My mother was in the middle of cooking, and she was hit with three obnoxious children competing over whose life was the worst, what a horrible world we lived in, as we stomped into our bedrooms, and slammed the door.   

Shortly, after I heard my mother crying, which was rare, so I went into the kitchen and asked her what was wrong.

She quietly replied, 

"Today is my birthday."

I will never forget that moment, day, or year. 

Okay, now, it; 's your turn:   

Have You Ever Forgotten an important engagement, gift, birthday, or occasion until it was too late?

Tuesday's Question???


 

Hello, welcome to "Tuesday's Question," Last week I wrote about how well I got to know my readers and vice-versa. I wrote about the third question I asked, which was: "What is your favorite line at the beginning of a novel? Please check out Sandee from https://comedy-plus.com/ to the third Tuesday's Question in 2007, that I posted last week. . 

Today's Tuesday's Question is: What is your favorite line at the end of a novel?  

I'll go first.  My favorite ending to a novel is from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, "The Great Gatsby"-   

"And as I sat there, brooding on the old unknown world, I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night.

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning——

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." 

Now, if there is anyone out there, it's your turn. :)

Thank you for stopping by :)

Tuesday's Question??? ??


Hello, welcome to “Tuesday’s Question,” on Thursday, sorry for the delay.

This week’s question is, “What do you think you were born for?”   

.  I’m not sure how many bloggers remember my blog much less “Tuesday’s Question,” but today’s question is the most philosophical question, I’ve ever asked.  I started writing A Nice Place in The Sun in 2007. Before I answer today’s question, I’d like to share the first few paragraphs I wrote before posting my third question.  

-Please forgive any typos today, because I lost my glasses, so I might as well be writing in the dark.  =

Anyway, I wrote the following paragraphs in 2007.   (This was before Facebook, where you can see pictures of people.    

 

 When getting to know people on the internet, we lack the help of a familiar smile and the expression on a friend's face.
On the other hand, the art of writing is the most personal form of self-expression and bloggers write every day so that we may be better friends for it. Writing requires putting yourself out in the open, and taking the risks involved, in much the same way we do with friendship.

I remember how impressed I was with my readers' comments, which were so expressive and thought-provoking that I couldn’t be moved. My little blogging community included the best blogs in the land of blogging. I am lucky to have met such a great group of people, and I hope I will again.   For those of you who remember Tuesday’s Question, I’d like to thank you again for the entertaining days in the sun, and for allowing me to get to know you better!  

The following is a comment from one of my dearest blogging buddies, Sandee, from https://comedy-plus.com/ Here is her answer to one of my first questions, which was, “What are your favorite lines from a novel?”

Sandee’s reply:  James A. Michener

Mexico

I had been sent to Mexico to cover a murder, one of a remarkable kind. And since it had not yet happened, I had been ordered to get photographs, too.

Sandee’s comment told me a lot about her character, I could tell immediately how intelligent she is, how much she likes people and wanted to understand more about what makes people tick, or rather interested in human behavior, a true humanitarian,

Okay, moving on,

Angels On Earth

Lost inside a state of mental and physical exhaustion, I prayed to meet an angel on earth, then, I felt the pillow of a horses mouth gently sweep grass from the palm of my hand. – Ann Clemmons

Motherhood- Courage


Motherhood is an art impossible to explain, one which requires a vast sea of love, devotion, compassion, and understanding, unmatched by any affection we will ever know again.- Ann Clemmons

Words-

Words are the core of our souls, without written, vocal or lyrical expression we lose sight of one another or worse, ourselves. Words bring forth the essence of the human spirit; so express yourself without abandon.

Favorite Phrase

I remember I used to half believe and wholly play with fairies when I was a child. What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit-world of childhood, tempered and balanced by knowledge and common-sense...

Beatrix Potter’s Journal, 17 November 1896, from the National Trust collection.

The Storyteller, by Dawn Drover

Alone in her world
of make believe
weaving her stories
of magic and light

She brings joy
to the eyes
of innocent minds
less jaded and free

For only they know
what's in her heart
holding the secrets
she guards so well

Life's hidden mysteries
belong to those
whose wisdom and truth
shine on in imagination

Favorite quotes-

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”'


F. Scott Fitzgerald. (Lines from The Great Gatsby)
"A Southerner Talks Music"

Mark Twain

"A book must be the ax for the frozen sea inside us."

Franz Kafka

An author values a compliment even when it comes from a source of doubtful competency.

- Mark Twain in Eruption

"I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself"

Mark Twain
