Well the day finally is over and it's good to just enjoy the evening. Little did I know that my brother and his wife would be arriving without notice he lives four hours away and this was the fist time that he has ever made it to see my folks in over three years.
I do have my own feelings on this but you just flow along with it. As the saying goes you can pick your friends but you can't pick your family. Although the day was one that I was pulled away from things and I thought that he could hold up things and do a nice visit for a while - seemingly he leaves everyone in distress. I have never got angry with him as when you understand things for what they are worth - silence is golden.
Here as I mentioned earlier it's a holiday and it shall be nice to just do what I intended to do today. Sometimes you just have to go with the flow and my post of yesterday was with regards to my father was what it is. Ironically there is this bond between my old man and myself at times he can be rather hard on me as I think he expects the most of me. And I do believe within that code of honour if you will.
It's evening here and it's definitely a nice eve and there is a slight storm on the way but it all works out. I ran into my one friend today that came here from Nigeria long ago he works within the University here and we talked about everything under the sun. His background was that he went from a part of Africa, then to Germany and ended up working here for some 20 years. A very interesting person to say the least. So it was rather hectic yet at the same time there was some good things that took place within it but when the family gets all rattled there is one person whom is always called. I think that there are some that can relate with.
So it's a Sunday eve for most yet for myself I would much rather write than watch a movie which reminds me, last night for the first time I went through my entire blog and really when one reads ones own rights they do find some clarity in it as this goes back some two years if not more.
As well welcome to the first day within August!
Peace and Love to everyone ... love and hugs Jack, smiles*
ReplyDeleteHope August brings a gentle peace into your world.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about family .... I have a member or two ..... and I fully agree that silence far outweighs a slinging match!! I usually just turn and walk the other way!!
August will be a fresh start ,, and positive ..

what a nice discussion you had with your friend at the University:)
Lynne I think that August shall silence certainly does and the way I see it is there is a time that you just understand things for what they are worth but it's always been that way with my brother and the only things. So I just look the other way, meanwhile there is only one thing that he and I do share in common that is music. Although he is six years older than myself, seemingly it's might be that I am medical next of kin and well families.
ReplyDeleteBut I have jotted down somethings for August and you know ~whot~ ?
August is Here!
Hugs there dear friend....
And it's just got started. There is a marvelous story behind him. He lost his mother and father in Africa at the age of 8. He really has a story of what he has done and worked through within life at a very young age. Yet to be honest we were just talking about the world and all.
ReplyDeleteCaroline I think that there are a few things I have to challenge myself with and kick start this next month. As I shall. Where did May, June and July go? :)
It's good that you did get to see your brother, Jack, but I'm sorry to hear that he leaves everyone in distress. That's too bad. I think everyone has someone like that in their family. We have a family member like that, but thank goodness, we only have to deal with him around the holidays. He's outnumbered, so he can't do too much damage! :)
ReplyDeleteWell it is what it is but I think that it's a time from which to turn the page Maryann. And as well to just enjoy the day for what it is.
ReplyDeleteYes, today is a new day, and it's turning out to be a lovely one! I need to get going, and run some errands in a little while. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a most beautiful day there, Jack!
It's rather cool and there are right now I have the wash in and I just ran one errand for at the confectionary and it's a good day Maryanne. The weather has been so bizarre yet it turns out to be rather nice one. It's certainly quiet around here but that is fine by me :)
