How are you Feeling Today
How are you Feeling Today? ©

I’m going to talk about “feelings”, obviously as a writer I have no
feelings, I just sit on the sidelines observing. You are all so cruel if
you think that, you’ve hurt my feelings in fact. Feelings are strange
things, what touches one of us has no impact on another. It’s only when
we have a connection that we feel things, or feel more connected. We
love our mum, so when she is sad we are sad. We love our dog so when the
dog is hurt we feel the pain too, especially here in UK, RSPCA and all
that.
When
we are under the weather or sick we feel bad, and blue, and when we
are well we are in the pink of health. Skin colour can show just how
good or bad our health is. I kind of “nursed” a lodger, he had yellow
jaundice, so obviously there his skin colour was a giveaway to his
health. 50 years ago he was told to stay in bed. So I remember him and
still pray for his soul as to me he was almost an uncle.
We
show our feelings via hugs and kisses, we kiss our children and stroke
their hair. If we only kiss our dog and stroke the cat then I’d say your
priorities are wrong, sadly there are some who’d care more for the pet
and ignore the kids. And the converse the cat never gets fed and starves
to death, and when the RSPCA comes the pet owner protests they love
their animal. They love them so much they do not feed them.
Feelings
can be hurt, and things can fester, because people do not show or
notice others feeling. Bull in china shop or Donald Trump springs to
mind, ask any Politician world wide and they will agree. Sorry for the
pause in the writing, I’m not ignoring you, I just had to pooh. Ok, I’m
lying it was a cheap rhyme, what’s the crime, ok enough of giving you
the hump, I was just giving my balls to Trump. He’s playing pitch and
putt on my back lawn. I don’t want to hurt his feelings after all, he
had so much misspent power after all. Maybe he’ll feel better after
Singapore.
You
have to make allowances for people and their feelings, do show some
consideration, prove you care. You don’t even have to do anything, just
be there and sit there when your granddad’s mind is nearly gone, you sit
and talk like a babbling brook, because you care and because you love
him. You haven’t got fancy words and phrases like your flash cousin, but
granddad looks past him to see have you arrived. His eyes light up
because he can feel the love, though other days he can hardly recognise
you.
Your
cousin boasts about the nice things he has given granddad, all things
and not enough love. You gave granddad a Mickey Mouse watch because it
amused him. Your cousin swopped it for his Rolex. But the next time he
visited, granddad was wearing Mickey Mouse and the Rolex was in the jar
with his false teeth.
Feelings
can be hurt and feeling can be mended, its only Pride that gets in the
way, you say sorry first that kind of thing. We’ve all been that, that’s
what makes us human, we have feelings.
