And if one of those apples falls on your head, you might discover the laws of gravity. You're such a smart ass... Screw you! Fuck off. Make Women Female Again

Here's the thing about hopeless moments. They are only as hopeless and you believe they are. Hopeless is a feeling . . Not a fact.

I love that poem. It's so endearing. "Men need to hunt. She obviously understands this. She’s offering herself as prey. Not easy prey. But willing.”

Hi, Ex! Every time I read one of your BLOGS I want to reach through the 'internet' and hug you! Your comment today has a typo, maybe on purpose, maybe not (it says 'TESTED' instead of 'TASTED' , and the "ETERNAL optimist" in me prevents me from just scrolling on, ignoring the suffering you're experiencing. It's CLEAR (ABUNDANTLY) that you're NOT looking for sympathy or attention, and I don't have any of either to offer. And I don't know the circumstances that have driven you to this point, and wouldn't PRY into your personal space or invade your privacy to ascertain what or how you've arrived here. I've been living alone for about 15 years now (except for the last 5 with my dog, sometimes he's the SMARTEST animal I know, and the LOVE is ALWAYS unconditional!), and it's been for a VARIETY of reasons involving a PLETHORA of things that I've been through, that seemed from time to time, to attempt to bring me to my very KNEES, and ask WHY... Not particularly great at much of anything in life, but have been VERY GOOD at lots of things, and I guess over the nearly 70 years I've been here I've developed a 'never say never' or 'never say die' attitude that's helped me persevere even in the worst of times, although, NOT without the help of others ALL ALONG THE WAY. Sort of that "NO MAN'S (or WOMAN'S) AN ISLAND" thought process, much like the "Apples Falling All Around" and the realization that we're 'social creatures', we YEARN for friendship, acceptance, and yes, LOVE. I KNOW my minuscule life and the short distances that I've PHYSICALLY traveled in my life haven't provided me with as many of the opportunities for "LOVE" that others have had, and perhaps I'm too picky in what I seek, which FURTHER limits those chances, but I CONTINUE to search, anywhere I go, for a woman, somewhere, in any situation, that might be the last GREAT love of this YEARNING eternal optimist's life, and when the search starts to frustrate, strain, and become too much to think about, I sit down and eat another apple to remind myself JUST HOW MUCH I miss that SWEETNESS, and how much of it is wasted by those that fall from the tree and aren't harvested. There's a SWEETNESS within you, I don't KNOW you, but I feel it in your writings, and in the responses of your friends on here that DO know you, in the things YOU say, the music you like/love/enjoy, and the ways that your friends react to your BLOGS. There's someone out here looking for that SWEETNESS you have to offer, Ex, someone who's "Been searching a long time For someone exactly like you. I've been traveling all around the world Waiting for you to come through Someone like you Make it all worth while Someone like you Keep me satisfied Someone exactly like you. I've been traveling a hard road I've been looking for someone exactly like you I've been carrying my heavy load Waiting for the light to come shining through Someone like you Make it all worth while Someone like you Keep me satisfied Someone exactly like you. I've been doing some soul searching To find out where you were at I've been up and down the highway In all kinds of foreign lands Someone like you Make it all worth while Someone like you Keep me satisfied Someone exactly like you. I've been all around the world Marching to the beat of a different drum But now lately I have realized Maybe the best is yet to come. Someone like you Make it all worth while Someone like you Keep me satisfied Someone exactly like you. Someone exactly like you. Someone exactly like you. The best is yet to come. Oh, the best is yet to come. Someone exactly like you..." Van Morrison

wise words! whether tart or sweet!

Nicely put, Ex. I'd say you are definitely on the mend. Life tried to break you, but came up short--You met its challenge head-on,, parried its thrust, and are now well into putting that earlier stressful incident behind you. Know that time heals all wounds; it, alone, will provide you the needed scope for a total recuperation. Eat the daily apple, as they say it even keeps the doctor away. It will help serve as a restorative, but, as I'm sure you are realizing, there are no panaceas or quick fixes to a setback. The answer is not to dwell on it --not to remind yourself of it. Let it go, like a bad dream, upon waking. And, don't allow yourself to get frantic or desperate about ANYTHING. Love, for certain, will find you again. You are opening your heart to that inevitability. But do not go looking for it or chasing after it in the hopes of netting it like a butterfly. IT WILL COME TO YOU--trust me. It will come on stealthy little cats' feet, serendipitously, and surprise the hell out of you, and then you will joyfully surrender yourself to its unmistakable balm of peace. and its wonderful sense of righteous closure. By all of promise, it will come to you. Start your smile, NOW.

Ex, I'm bringing a bushel basket to put under that tree. Can't let any of that sweetness go to waste.

Now I want to make an apple pie. Want to share it? "One Big Sky Covers Us All Equally"

Sampling the fruits of life is a wonderful thing to do!

Ex This is such a sad quote! Life can be difficult , no doubt, but it can also be good! A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw Jenny

My Dear Ex💋.... I don't do sugar but I've tasted plenty of "apples".... Ha👅
| |||
|
Should we give a nod to Eve for taking that bite of the apple in the garden?

I've had many varieties and have felt most all you listed. I'm still here, I'm still kicking, I'm still living and learning. Howling at the moon and mal ad osteo.

"What I know is that I have the sweetest friends on here, just as you have noticed, who stood by me in my bad and my good, and I hope I managed to be as good for them as they were and are for me and I don't see how could that possibly change in the future... Thank you for all your kind words and for being friendly and compassionate... and the tune you shared is one of my ever favourites..." You're very welcome, Ex, guess there's something within that just makes me respond to people when there's a sense of despair in what they've written, probably because I've been there from time to time myself, and recognize the pain. As for the song, Van Morrison's music always seems to touch my very soul, and keeps me GROUNDED and in a positive 'light', but then, I get that from SO many artists and their works. After nearly 70 years of listening, there's someone's tune for almost any occasion. Happy to have provided a moment of solace in your life, Ex. BTW, I make an awesome apple cobbler, if you ever have a hankering!

Aaah, such a deep feeling, such a deep yearning... Such beautiful words... ANd, sometimes, soo much pain..... Music will always help me, feel, go deeper and overcome.... give joy And, sometimes it feels better to just sit on the ground, for a while, and not get up, that horse again. Just take your time, the time to get on that horse again, will be there, or not, and even that is good, too. Find love in and through other things, people, animals, food even

Ex, "We were born before the wind Also younger than the sun Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic Hark, now hear the sailors cry Smell the sea and feel the sky Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it I don't have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old Then magnificently we will float into the mystic And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it I don't have to fear it I want to rock your gypsy soul Just like way back in the days of old And together we will float into the mystic Come on girl..."

I too, believe my time will come. Only not here, in Holland. Maybe on my traveling, that is the time, i have to let go of a lot of things... And maybe that is the time, i really, truelly can let go, too... who knows? so, maybe then?

... There were a few hits in my head or at least it felt as though someone punched my head pretty hard and unexpectedly... so gravity works well, checked and proven
