ONE WORD TRIGGERS
Music with expressionArchive for Adele
TRIGGER: Anniversary
32 years ago today, Mrs Baldyman and I (along with a whole lot of family, friends, etc.) visited a little church close to where she lived. We stood at the front of that church and made some vows. (Then we had a party!!! YAY!!!)
32 years later those vows still hold true and we’re still together, with our own family.
There have been good days and bad days. There have been ups and there have been downs.
32 years later I wouldn’t change a single day.
I pray for another 32 years.
So the trigger is….
Anniversary
I won’t define the word like I usually do.
To me, it’s not just about celebrating the one ‘anniversary day’, it’s about the whole commitment.
Instead, as this is a ‘Music’ site, I’ll leave it to the words of one of the songs below to say how I feel about Mrs. Baldyman…
“You are the air I need to breathe
the river of life inside of me
you are the half that made me whole
you are the anchor of my soul
and you are strong when I am weak
you are the words when I can’t speak
you never fail to see me through
that’s the love I found in you
you are my shelter from the storm
you are the road that leads me home
and baby with you here face to face
Oh I know I’ve found my place
and once in every life
you find the one that’s right
and when you say forever it’s true
That’s the love I found in you”

TRIGGER: Crazy
Hmmm….It’s been a very odd week.
I found myself becoming more and more frustrated with things as the week went by and I’m not sure why.
In itself that was driving me crazy.
Then this business with my file storage being pulled…..crazy.
Add to that various news stories that broke here, such as the guy who asked the judge to postpone his prison sentence because he had a golfing holiday booked….(and the judge agreed)…..crazy.
And the Government of Burma seizing the first deliveries of aid to arrive, because they don’t like outside interference (when hundreds of thousands are in need of help)….crazy.
And don’t even get me started about the crazy morons who drive vehicles on our roads.
The more the week went on the more that word kept entering into my thought process…CRAZY.
So, guess what the trigger is?…..

)TRIGGER: Rain
Well…after saying that ‘Spring has Sprung’ it suddenly recoiled and winter crept back in. The temperature cooled (again!), the sun crept back behind the big black clouds and the rain came. And the rain came. And the rain came some more.
(checks feet….yep, they’re webbed).
Now then, what’s the betting that they’ll still declare a water shortage when (or should that be if) Summer gets here?
Tomorrow I face a very wet drive to look at the first of the Universities that my Daughter is considering going to.
Sounds like the cue for a song or 14…so the trigger is:

TRIGGER: Tired
I’m used to working flat-out all day and my body has become accustomed to this. But over the last two weeks business has been a little erratic – slow days followed by manic days – and I don’t seem to be able to adjust to the changing pace. The result is that I am sooooooo tired I could fall asleep on the edge of a knife blade. Still, the weekend’s here and I can relax. (Looks at list of DIY jobs, looks at the state of the gardens). Hmmm…maybe not.
So the trigger is…
tired [tahy.uh.rd]

2. fatigued or sleepy
3. depleted of strength or energy
4. weary or bored
5. hackneyed, stale
6. (informal) impatient or disgusted
-verb
7. cause to be bored
8. get tired of something or somebody
—Synonyms
