Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “note.” Use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
There are many … musical notes, 🎶, written notes, high notes and low notes and they are not only musical they can refer to high or low points in your life.
Money can be referred to as notes, you can write a note to anyone even yourself. You can remember noteworthy things, people or books absolutely anything at all. To make a note is to remember.
Would I write a note to a younger me.. No I really don’t think that I would because I don’t believe we can go back in time and change anything. I believe that if we changed anything we would probably make things much worse. To be honest I believe it would do more harm than good. If I knew then half of what I know now I would never make the trip. That said I actually wouldn’t change a thing because I love my family and friends and pets …. My life hasn’t been a bed of roses but who’s is? If anyone tells you they have the perfect life and they wouldn’t change a thing, I am sorry they are lying. So make a note to take Facebook and possibly peoples blogs with a pinch of salt.
So note to self … don’t give in and don’t give up! Never worry about what’s gone…it’s done , no point in worrying about what’s coming because it’s unknown and may never happen. Life is in the now so all you can do your best. …So I have actually made a note for my younger self … but nothing too leading.
Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Back in 2010 I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust. I will of been married 53yrs this comming year. I have found different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and hopefully in to light.
My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and be as strong as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

Great take sis. All notes are present and accounted for ✅
Nice response to the prompt Willow. I’m not sure any of us could get through life without taking notes, either on paper or in our mind. I agree that we need to live in the here and now, but we should remember and acknowledge certain aspects of our past.
I think you should make a note to yourself: Have a great weekend!
I don’t trust anyone who says they wouldn’t change a thing about their lives or past actions. No one makes perfect decisions all the time. How do we learn and progress if we don’t fall flat on our faces every now and then?

I totally agree I have made awful mistakes and I mean that! I just mean I fear anything I changed would make things so much worse 💜💜💜
Your note to self was terrific.
For better worse, everything we’ve done has led us to where we are. I wouldn’t want to change anything about that.
Yes indeed Dan that’s so true 💜
Powerful piece. But you know time travel is real.
If only 😊
I loved this. A note to self to remember to enjoy everyday as it comes. 🙏
I wonder if I listened? 💜💜
We seldom ever do. 🥺🥺
Very true the stubborness of youth! 🙂
