A Thousand Little Cuts

by | Sep 25, 2023

How Does The Mind Cope With Trauma?

A mysterious journey unfolds as a resilient young woman awakens in the confines of a hospital, her memory shattered by unknown circumstances. With a skilled psychologist delving into her past, uncovering fragments of a harrowing event, and a relentless police detective demanding answers, her subconscious fights to protect her from unlocking the truth. Enigmatic revelations emerge, intertwining past and present in a gripping narrative that captivates the senses. Embark on an extraordinary tale of resilience and intrigue, where memories hold the key to a hidden truth waiting to be discovered.

This Is An Intriguing Concept . . .

Our minds are quite amazing — a group of people can experience the same event and each one will have a different take on it — could be due to one’s physical placement or other factors could be involved. And then there are the times when people are brainwashed to believe something they otherwise would not.

Thoughts About A Thousand Little Cuts

Unraveling incidents to get a clear picture of what actually happened is a process — plus dealing with the truths revealed . . . and then it comes to not questioning those memories . . . But the mind does have the tendency to protect . . . And then, we justify our choices and decisions . . . Life seems quite complicated. We may know what we know and there is a right and wrong to it — as well as the legal side of things. How things play out . . . and what we do is an issue . . . 

This was a good movie. It makes you think about what you would do or would have done given the circumstances of Anne’s life. I know for one thing, I would be unable to continue living where the tragic event happened — I would probably replay the event over and over and over again from time to time. No telling what would trigger the memory . . . Watch the movie and decide for yourself!

Transitioning — Thinking Of Changes

by | Sep 25, 2023

Starting A New Season — Looking Forward To Autumn!! 

Brings thoughts of making changes. My neighbor is remodeling her house — too ambitious for me — I tend more to change the look of my websites. I did delete one — and for another added to my Home Page Slider. I thought that would be enough change for me … but no, I’m working on changing the Home Page here at TwoCansOnAString.com

I am quite torn — I have changed it quite a few times over the years. I do like the concept of writing what interests me with no particular niche. Then, I did get into a niche of sorts, but I do like the randomness of choosing what I wish to share.

Life is fluid — everchanging — kind of like the weather . . . Maybe that is why I have been watching and writing about movies — especially those on Amazon Prime Video. They do have quite a nice selection — there is always something of interest to watch. This gives me the opportunity to experience different genres — some I may not in the past have thought of watching. Then, of course, there are always the favorite genres we may all gravitate to — I do like some of the seasonal ones with a Halloween theme. Sometimes I have to stop watching because it got a bit too much . . . but a good drama or edge of your seat action movie or thriller can keep me rivited to my laptop!

A dramatic contrast with these two movies — a thriller and a heartwarming comedy . . . That is what you can do — decide what you want to watch when you want to watch it. What I find so appealing about Amazon Prime Video is that I don’t have to decide on anything in particular. I can see what’s available and, if a title interests me or makes me think of another movie I’d prefer, I can search for it to see if it’s available for immediate viewing.

The Problem With Changing The Look Of My Website Is Changing Its Essence

It’s Always Good To Sit Back, Relax, And Just Enjoy . . .

I think autumn is the most beautiful season — but there is something to be said for spring . . . and there are wonderful winter and summer scenes as well . . . There is definitely something wonderful about nature and the abundance it offers us with all the colors and smells, etc. of a particular season.

We do have our memories and associations about certain seasons. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that a movie or more has influenced our thinking about a particular season. Or a particular holiday or event — something we may have either loved or avoided has now shifted for us . . . As I’ve said before: Life is fluid — everchanging.

I’ll take my own advice and relax and think … No reason to jump in and make changes only to discover that it isn’t going to work for me . . . and down the road again I’m thinking of changing — or changing it back . . . Oh my goodness!!

I have been into movies and audiobooks lately. They’re both wonderfully relaxing ways of spending an afternoon or evening. As is sitting out in nature and taking into the essence of the season.

Thanks for stopping by!

Experience the phenomenon of Monopoly as it transcends cultures and brings people together, transforming a simple game into a cultural phenomenon of epic proportions. Join us on this thrilling journey into the captivating and competitive realm of the Monopoly World Championship.

I believe that most individuals have played Monopoly at some point in their lives. Personally, I found the game to be enjoyable, although I never considered competing seriously. Undoubtedly, there are skills and strategies involved, and luck can also play a significant role. Regardless, I take pleasure in engaging in board games with my loved ones.

The documentary tells the history of the game and how it is still going strong in its various editions. It is more than merely a fun game — it is a learning tool to help with basic math skills. For some it is the first time some had money to count in their hands. It is an experience many will never forget.

I Was Thinking About The Tokens

I don’t know if I had a favorite. I liked the top hat and the thimble. I may have used the iron and the wheel barrel at some point. Oh, and the Scotty Dog! 

The Under The Boardwalk Prime Video Was Informative

I did learn a lot about the game. I had no idea there was a national competition. It wasn’t anything I gave much thought to, but it was a competition everyone could try to qualify. You don’t need great strength or special skills. It’s a game everyone can play. I encourage you to view the video and dig out that old Monopoly game you have tucked away in the closet and have a game night with your family and friends.
