Tuesday 10th March 2020 – Cabryn’s 15th birthday!
We’ve
had lovely times today…
We
celebrated well! Nadia sees to
that…
Thank
you Nadia for sharing your gifts and talents with us.
Persuasion
It’s
been a different week…
I think
our being home is deeply settling on me.
Also –
I’m used to wearing a badge, and now we are released.
That’s another
kind of adjustment too!
I’ve
been thinking about who persuades me – or tries to persuade me.
Of
course the media… of all types… all around all the time…
I’m
pretty impervious to that.
It’s
taken determination, and persistence, and now I can let it flow over me or past
me.
Sometimes
shop assistants try… but not for long. I don’t
take much notice, unless I am interested and want to know more.
I can
see or hear, and politely stop, and stop them..., shake my head, look away, turn away, or
switch off, in a second or so.
Not
really any person tries to persuade me anymore.
I wonder
why?
Perhaps
because they ‘know’ by my body language or some other intuitive,
subliminal
way that I’m not persuadable?
I
remember I had a friend who was flirted with every time I was with her.
I
wondered why no-one ever, ever, tried flirting with me…
when I
was with her, or on my own, or with any other person.
Maybe I never noticed it???
Thank
goodness they never tried. I would hate to be a ‘target’
or ‘object.’
I love
being mercifully ‘invisible.’
It was
hard for me getting used to people trying to see what my badge was all about.
I felt
very visible. And I got used to it.
And could intelligently and courteously
engage.
I’m very
glad to have served… I loved the
adventure, opportunity and responsibility.
And - I’m
glad to be released – it was time.
I must
say… very occasionally these days, chocolate, or cake tries to persuade me…
My body
just works so much better with a little, or without them!
They
have largely lost their appeal for me, hold on me…
It’s
about time! I’m nearly 75!
Who or
what tries to, or succeeds in, persuading you?!
Is it what you want?
Is it what you want?
I love
you all - my precious family!
