Word du Jour – Snarky

I’ve noticed that it’s often because snarky people have ego and self-esteem issues [you can tell that just by the things they do and say], and are addicted to putting others down so they can feel better about themselves. 

However, their snarkiness and sarcasm reveal a great deal more about them, and how they see themselves, than they realize, and none of it is positive.

And on that note…Have a great day!

Comments

So, I tried to post in Nahi’s guest book this morning, and the message in the top right corner is what I got…and it would not let me post it.  I can see telling me I duplicated a comment, and while I appreciated the warning, after the first warning, I should be able to post it anyway…

Grandpa’s Rocker

In my family room is an antique wicker rocking chair. It’s been in this particular spot for almost 50 years…before that, it was in my Grandparents home in Hastings…

I love this chair. It has so many wonderful memories attached to it…

My Grandfather always retired to it in the evenings, after dinner, to smoke his pipe…I always got to sit on his lap and we would play a game where I would touch his mustache, and he would try to bite (gently, of course) my finger…

Both my Grandparents died in 1980…my Grandfather was lost after my Grandmother died, and I believe on the day she died, he gave up living…

I miss them both terribly…

To this day, the chair still rocks in the evening…not every evening, but every once in a while…and it doesn’t rock as though there is someone sitting in it rocking…but, very gently…softly…as though someone has just gotten up from it…

The first time I saw it, it scared the hell out of me…but, I soon realized nothing was going to hurt me.

Now, I simply find comfort in it…and sometimes, if I close my eyes, I can still smell his pipe tobacco….

Thursday Trivia

For some strange reason I started watching Jaws last night…I mean, it’s not like I haven’t seen the movie a dozen times…I guess I was just in a weird mood…

After it was over, I decided to do a bit of Googling, and learned something pretty astonishing…Most sharks live 20 to 30 years in the wild, but some species can live far longer. At the extreme end of the longevity scale are Greenland sharks, which can live at least 270 years, making them the longest-lived vertebrates (backboned animals) in existence!

Hope your day is a good one!

The Andalucian Sun

Incarnadine sunrise

skies turbid with ebon clouds

quiet, before the pending storm

here, I have found myself

Your presence is felt

not seen

you stand in the shadows

watching me

I close my eyes

imagine your touch

I feel the warmth of you

or is it from the sun

It matters not

you are my empyrean

Snow Fall

From the Heavens snow falls gently

on this cold December day

And the snowflakes form a blanket

as on the frozen ground they lay

The crispness that is in the air

you can almost smell

And it chills the tiny sparrows

in the treetops where they dwell

I wrap my sweater tight around me

pick up a fallen glove

And I wish for a ray of sunlight

To peek through the clouds above

A shiver runs right through me

my heart is longing to be warmed

As winter dazzles me with brilliance

and the earth becomes transformed…
