The word confused is a blend of con and fused which is kind of strange to me. As things become increasingly complicated its easy to get confused. Keeping things straight in our minds is a challenge these days. I get confused by the stuff going on in my head too. Being confused is easy if you don’t have things organized and thought out. I hope none of you is dazed along with being confused.

Daily Prompt: Reach
Some things are within our grasp while some things are out of reach. Often times they are one and the same. Many reach for a hand to hold on to when things are scary. When thirsty I reach for a drink, when I am doing laundry I reach for clothes. Sometimes I have to reach for a dish when cooking. Inches separate us from getting that one thing we want more than anything. Championships are within reach if we work hard enough. Reach takes effort and doing hard things to make it happen.
Daily Prompt: Luxury
Luxury is measured in many things, not just money. Time is a luxury, space is a luxury, resources is a luxury. Some people are not afforded luxury for one reason or another. To me luxury is not always about extravagance, its more about the little things when you don’t have much to begin with. Perhaps luxury is something that needs redefining.
Daily Prompt: Stubborn
I can be hard headed at times, most men can be I think. We all try to do things our own way and we won’t listen to the advice of others often to our detriment and demise. Of course others in our lives can be difficult and fully unwavering in what they want to do and how they want to do it. I guess each of us are stubborn about one thing or another, that isn’t a bad thing though, or is it?
My Favorite Invention
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Going Obsolete.”
I miss seeing a reel-to-reel tape deck (replaced by various devices). As a kid my dad would play music on one in the family den on Saturday mornings. Seeing the tapes spin and the volume meter go back and forth is a favorite childhood memory.
The cassette deck is also a personal favorite although it was very limited in how many songs it could store and play. But its one of those things that I fondly remember. As a kid I would tape songs off the air on the radio and put records on tape so I could listen to them on a personal cassette deck.
Then there is the VHS VCR that almost everyone had. Of course you had to rewind the tapes. But I remember our first VCR when I was a kid, it was this huge thing that sat on top of a huge TV set. It was awesome to see a movie on a VHS tape.
Now there are other things I miss that have been replaced with new, innovative gadgets. But remembering the good old days is fun. You can appreciate what you had then and what you have now.
