On the Fridge

By God, she’s finally done it.   Trina of BlogDumps has come up with a topic for the regular Tuesday meme that I don’t seem to be able to over-think, not that I didn’t try.  The topic for Top Sites Tuesday #74 is What’s on Your Fridge? I thought I had a great idea … what does your refrigerator decor tell us about your personality?  Maybe I could call it Refrigerator Magnet Psychoanalysis.   A quick examination of our refrigerator door revealed, however, that except for one lonely item ( a mandala from my mandala coloring book … seriously), our refrigerator door decor is the work of my wife.  Older Eyes did not stay married for forty-two years by attempting to psychoanalyze his wife in public (or in private, for that matter).  So this will be a just-the-facts, Ma’am description of our fridge door … psychoanalysis is left to the reader.

As you can see, our refrigerator decor is an eclectic mix.  There are enough inspirational magnets and calendar pages to ward off any uninspired days, or so you’d think.   We have Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference (so true) … It’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years (surely written by someone in their forties looking forward hopefully) … Count your blessings (we do and it helps most of the time) … Have Faith (always a good idea) … and the always hard to implement Let’s put the fun back in dysfunctional.   If inspiration doesn’t work, there’s always Snap Out of It.   We can look at the smiling faces of our grandchildren, nieces and nephews to lift our spirits, savor the precociousness of our grandson’s drawings or be reminded that Cats are Designated Friends and Animals are such Agreeable Friends – They Ask No Questions and Pass No Criticisms.   There are friendship magnets that say things like Miles Can’t Separate the Best of Friends and You Make the World a Nicer Place by Just Being You … I suppose those could be uplifting if I knew who gave them to us (my wife probably does … in fact, they were probably given to her!).  There’s a short article on ways to reduce stress … things like deep breathing and stretching … and another on how to eat to reduce stress.   Hmmm.  Last year, I put a set of word magnets up and my son and I had an ad hoc competition making sentences … but we seem to have lost interest … it’s mostly word-salad these days.

Then there’s this guy, our refrigerator bendable buddy.  Like the word magnets, he’s been forgotten lately, but he’s been known to move about the refrigerator door, changing his pose from day to day.   He too carries a message for a stress free life … if you want to be happy, you have to be flexible.

Now, if you want to keep Older Eyes flexible … and stress free … please push my button … gently … to make me Number One on Top Sites Tuesday #74.
