I always like to "people watch" and wonder what their stories are.... 

Does that sound creepy😐? Maybe.

Just sitting in the sunshine enjoying a coffee and watching the passing parade. Different shapes and sizes...ages and genders, What have they been through? Are they happy? In this Instagram age many younger ones aren't it seems...or so we are told. 

So many young girls dislike the way they look ..feel they are not pretty enough or the right shape, size, height, where certain influencers they may look up to may, most likely have, used apps to make them look slimmer or more beautiful than they really are. Any flaws in their complexion magically, digitally, wiped away. Out there enjoying life, party after party, mixing with other "beautiful" people on social media making others feel somewhat lesser.. rather inadequate.

Are some passing by super wealthy? Some of the richest people look just "every day" doing what we all do. Just what's their story? And most of all are they happy with their lot? Everyone has a story....

Do you see a "stand out face" sometimes that stays in your memory. I know I do...

I've always said to myself, however strange that may sound, when I see a good looking stand out person, girl or guy, if they had the right contacts, born into the right family, or moved in the right circles they, we, anyone could be famous and not only, as Andy Warhol said, for just that 15 minutes of fame. 

Did they ever want to be famous anyway? Many do....some don't...most would like the money and the lifestyle if they're honest.

I know they have to be good looking; which I guess is sort of sad in itself. But these days.. or as my mother would often say.... In this world your face is your fortune!

We're always searching, searching, searching as we grow through our younger years until we find the mould where we actually fit in...or not...😟whatever the case maybe. Whether it be the one we originally wanted or just the one we accidentally fall into quite often by mistake😕.

So as my thoughts take me in many different directions writing these few words as I sip my daily morning coffee and type away on my ever present device continuing to people watch, I wonder, and think on many different levels. 

We're a complex and strange lot aren't we. Maybe too complex for our own good at times.....

Trouble at both ends of the scale......

Firstly //    It's called "elder abuse" and it seems to be growing for some unexplainable reason.  In some cases it's neglect...pure and simple... but in most it's stealing money that isn't yours from parents that are not able to look after themselves, or their money, properly. Often without them even knowing until it's far too late. Maybe as money becomes tighter for some...but even then that's no excuse!  Just reading about a case locally where a son living in another state stole...yes stole... over a million dollars from his elderly mother. Transferring the money from her account over a period of a few years and also used her debit card in unauthorised purchases for his own use. Leaving her with very little in her bank account to survive. She had no idea until it was almost all gone. Really who can you trust if you can't trust your own family...beyond belief really isn't it but it seems this is a common occurrence. More common than we think.

Just day dreaming....

  Just a pleasant quiet place I like to sit and ponder on things. Where I've been, where I'm going, you know the usual stuff. Watching the world go by as I sit under the shade of a tree listening to the birds singing and appreciating life around me. It's been a long and often bumpy ride to where I am today and who knows what tomorrow may bring. All good things we hope. That's what I always say anyway...as I buy another lottery ticket!😊 There always has to be something to look forward to or what's the point.  There is so much sadness in the world right now I know. Has there ever been a time when there wasn't any sadness in the world. If there was, I can't remember just when. There are people still preaching the end of the world as we know it and the doomsday clock, as it's called, is ever approaching the bewitching hour. Should we be nervous...should we be scared? I guess so but we seem to have been living "on the edge" for so long now I guess

On a lighter note...

 Do you talk to your pet? Of course you do, everyone does, although some would not admit to it 😃 "How did you sleep?...have any dreams?" I ask as I uncover my parrot...YES parrot!! I know..I know..but we all do it 😏 "Just going out now...see you soon", as I leave the apartment, I call to a bewildered looking bird alone in her cage..sorry house...don't like the term cage...think I have mentioned that before. On return "Hello love👋👋," and met with screams of welcome home or in bird language it could just  mean ...LET ME OUT.....LET ME OUT you idiot leaving me alone...what are you thinking...expletive..expletive!!  Which of course I obey and once the welcome scratches and more talking has taken place, she takes up residence on the bed...or the lounge...or the drawer, whichever is the preference that moment. It changes constantly and I obey every command.  Well trained...me.. not the bird! Pets...what would life be without them. I know they are sometim
