About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

      That happens, Dolly, and because it is dear you, I’m going to give hints for each one. 1. Blind Faith was a real musical group from the sixties and seventies, so the answer takes their name literally. 2. A chain gang is a group of prisoners chained together to prevent escape who were used to split rock to lay railroad tracks. 3. Joe Namath was a famous football player and the lines on the football field marking territory were made with lime spread out in lines. 4. “Missile-toe” a bad pun 5. Tom Hanks played Santa Claus in the movie Polar Express and Truman is his son. 6. Melanie Trump is Donald’s much-spoiled wife and she is only asking for everything, which he seems intent on acquiring not only for her but for himself and all of his rich cronies. 7. The Moles are a real singing group and as moles live underground, I am imagining the ruckus they’d raise under there. All are corny and a stretch, I know, but I guess that’s the fun of the exercise. Now I’ve mansplained to you…but actually every time I do this prompt I wonder if anyone is going to understand my thought processes so thanks for giving me an excuse to explain this time.. xo
