What makes you smile at the drop of a hat?

In the warm seasons, just going out into my garden and seeing it teeming with wildlife. These days, just seeing Mr. Bee pollinating my flowers, making sure my melons, cucumbers, and squash are correctly pollinated makes me smile.

Between November and February, watching something funny on YouTube can at time eek out a tiny smile on my face or perhaps seeing seeds germinate. It’s like watching a baby come into the world and that always bring a smile.

What makes you angry?

Nothing makes me more angry than when I’m called a liar and having my every word contradicted, which, unfortunately, is the reality of living with my mom. Frankly, I don’t know why I open my mouth sometimes, she doesn’t believe a word I say, so why should I say anything?

What saddens you?

What makes me upset is when someone doesn’t even try before going for help. For example, mom was complaining about getting emails in her inbox. I told her she needs to scroll to the very bottom of each email and click “unsubscribe.” She doesn’t even try before coming to me, “I can’t find it.”

She just wanted me to do it for her and it makes me feel both angry and sad. When did it come to this? How did it come to this?

What do you find most frustrating?

I find it frustrating that I can’t talk to anyone about anything, anyone in real life, that is. My only confidants are within this blogging universe. I can’t talk to my mom because she won’t believe a word I say nor can I talk to anyone else in the family because they’ll just tell me I’m “silly.” It’s also frustrating that I have nothing in common with these people. I don’t even share a last name with anyone.
