Walk Of Life

When you can walk, you can dance; Now you can talk, you can to sing.

Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story Hand me down my walkin' shoes Here comes Johnny with the power and the glory Backbeat the talkin' blues He got the action, he got the motion Yeah, the boy can play Dedication, devotion Turning all the night time into the day Dire Straits 1985

The way it felt, once upon a time, here we are with less time to think about what the next move will be. No worry, no hurry I normally take some time getting a list up and running, what might be right or wrong. What I do know is I am tired of coastal living, born inland find myself thinking long and hard.

Many curve balls thrown at us, we are a minority here, scarce security, safe smaller town perhaps away from the city, may be an option. An open offer has been made to move family across the sea, I don't see myself as a refugee, must think of sons who would not consider option without me. For young families this may be an answer, age of never ending turmoil around our space, we sure have become lopsided of late.

Mind games continue, swirling around a couple of years now, we have stunning beaches either polluted and dangerous to go walking on. Lovely parks to meander through, currently side stepping cow dung is no longer fun! Travel further afield not an option, leave the home empty for extended time, someone will treat as self-service, poverty or drug addict invasion of coastal towns.

Added another trip around the sun in January, still anticipate many more to come, never give up, never give in this crazy time will pass, decision will be made, for now be patient, mulling over pro's and con's, then you see me then you don't, 'bad penny always turns up' that is life, not so?

    Life is a journey, let's enjoy it, and always walk alongside someone.

    I really liked the photo of the greenish fly on the red flower, it turned out beautiful. And of course, the pretty bird on the car mirror. Is that an Estrildidae finch?

  • @joetunex(77)· 215d

    I wouldn't recommend moving back to Joburg either. Perhaps a move to Western Cape or North Cape?

    Beautiful photos. What’s the name of that little bird over there?

    Deciding is never that simple... that’s why it should be done when the tide goes out.

    I am a coastal person and don't like not being near the sea! Happy birthday Joan and here is to many more!

    I love that proverb Joan! It's becoming more and more difficult making a decision on where to go if one sells! I can understand your dilemma with the kids not wanting to leave you behind, and the difficulty of uprooting yourself to a new country so late in life. What to do? Not easy at all! But on the other hand, many young people who had emigrated, are coming back. The weather, the people,and missing friends and family as well as the country, despite all our issues!
