Prompt for the Day: “Connected”

The extroverts of the Daily Post division of Word Press want us to us the word “Connected” in our various artistic pursuits for today.

Prefer to Remain Disconnected from the World

Face it, we live in a troubled time today.  Wars killing people in various parts of the planet.  Just here in the city in which I reside, there seems to be blood shed weekly!  At least I chose not to live in Minneapolis, where some one seems to be killed on a daily basis.

Am fortunate enough to have wonderful neighbors in my corner of the world.  We may not all speak the same language, but we get along just fine!  The kids in our neck of the woods all behave like decent young individuals should.

Their families seem to be fairly close knit surviving the generation gaps quite well.  Keeping connected throughout the years.  Having a decent play area near by seems to help bridge the gaps for them.

I prefer to remain completely disconnected from most of my relatives.  Keep in touch with my mom and one of my second cousins.  We did not know we were related before we became close friends.  Once we found out, I decided I would not hold the fact against our ability to remain friends.  We leave voice mail and FaceBook messages to each other on a daily basis.

Please Help Fight Evil Disease

The medicine my neurologist prescribed for me to treat my multiple sclerosis is called Tysabri. Trying to find the actual cost on the internet is basically nearly impossible. I remember when I first started on the drug the amount the facility tried charging me was well over $2500. There was no way my husband and I could afford that then or every 28 days!

Prompt for the Day-“Just Another Day”

The inquiring people at the Daily Post department of Word Press crafted today’s prompt of “Just Another Day” to ignite our creative sparks.  They made one additional comment, followed by a question: “Our days are organized around numerous small actions we repeat over and over. What’s your favorite daily ritual?”

My favorite Daily Ritual

The prompt for today made me think of the wonderful song “Another Day in Paradise” by the talented musician Phil Collins.

My personal favorite daily ritual happens around one in the afternoon each day.  I eat three squares of pure dark chocolate by Hersey’s Bliss, while reading a book.  Once that is completed, I proceed to call my best friend from grade, junior, senior high school.  We were friends long before I took her with me to my grandparents in grade school, where my grandma started laughing at us because neither of us knew we were actually cousins!  Even though we turned out to be related, we continued our friendship!  (All of my other relatives, I do not get along with at all.)  I naturally do not hold being related to me against my good friend.
