I am too old for getting timid now. I live on my own, my son is there in the evening and I have to deal with everything myself. I think this fly was probably more timid than I was. I always have a fly swatter near and most do not survive. The door to my appartment is never locked. day and night. I am more timid of falling and being locked in my home. There are always risks, but you have to assess them as what is worst.
I have no money at home, I live on plastic and for that you need a code. After being alone since Mr. Swiss left for his golden oldie home, timid is now something in the past. I sometimes miss it being so quiet. I live in a little village and during the night I hear nothing. Even a little excitement can be interesting.
Otherwise I am not so timid and try almost everything. However, I was getting a little worried due to my daily antics in the shower. Nothing ever happened but you never know, so I organised our help organisation for a daily help. However, nothing really ever happened, and I was still doing most of the risky work myself. I just never give up, it keeps my brain active. After getting my weekly invoice for the assistance, I began to think if I really needed this help and so I stopped.
My last invoice was for 400 Swiss Francs and this was getting a little too much, but so is the price for getting timid. I decided to stop this help and since a few days I am doing it all myself, in spite of my MS problems and I have discovered, yes, I can do it – no problem. My No. 2 son was shocked and found I need this help, but basically anything can happen at any time, and not in the shower. Perhaps I fall at home and injure myself, but that can happen to most people, specially when you get older. Probably you are more prone to such accidents in age. However, I feel much better now, and more confident. I was just getting timid with my daily endeavours. I now feel much more confident, although will not exaggerate. Today I felt good after my shower, and had no problems. My bank account also is looking better. After the shower I did my housework and cooked lunch for my son and I – no problem. This afternoon I took my sccooter to visit Mr. Swiss. It was lovely weather and the golden oldies were all sitting outside enjoying the weather, Mr. Swiss also, althouh he is not in the photo.
This evening I am on my own, No, 1 son is at a concert in town. I will make myself a nice mixed salad and continue reading my latest book – another detetive story. I love the surprises in these books.
This mouse in my garden cupboard was quite timid and only risked a view below the door. However, where food in concerned, they soon get quite brave and venture outside to snap a few bites.
I am Ahmed Abdi, a Wordpress blogger and storyteller who searches for stories that inspire people. I love writing because it’s a reflection of how I perceive the world around me. Lost in a world of endless chaos in my childhood, Unforgettable moments of tragedy and triumphs taught me the art of storytelling where I found myself through letter writing and then turned into stories but then sadly had lost everything I wrote for years. In 2018, I decided to create a Wordpress blog site that would allow me to store and retrieve every piece. Stories from my community, city and people are what make my writing so interesting and inspiring! I’m a tea lover so a cup of tea sometimes makes my blog.
