An old photo but it was my Who Cares photo so I’m using it again.
Mama wanted to share these two or three sparks for Monday that the kids and she came up with during our 8-day reunion. Mama started them off with one you know:
Just here, just now, just this.
Which they loved because NO ONE WANTED TO RUIN OUR GATHERING talking about the dolt who shall not be named. Got us all into the present, which was wonderful and amazing in so many ways.
The second mantra was another you already know, which is What others think of you is NONE of your business!
But the one mama brought back with her and uses all the time now when something appears to be a problem or a rough patch that arises and an opinion forms in one’s pea brain:
WHO CARES?
LOVE love kove this one, mama says, because it instantly gives the body and brain a little quick rest from worry or how to solve a problem or what to do with a perplexing thought or how to handle noisy crowds (in our case—our little village is FILLED with tourists).
WHO CARES? The moment passes and one’s life continues a bit lighter. Try it out. Take it or leave it. Who cares?
And accordint to mama’s garden guru, this is a Cornflower, in the UK anyway…
Just here, just now, just this! Oh my word, Loulou I’m stealing this one. I think we all need this mantra at the moment. And what an adorable pic of you ethereal Loulou.
Oui, we LOVE this mantra and mama cannot remember where she heard it, but we use it daily now along with sometimes the Who Cares, haha.
We love that photo of you Loulou…..we also like “who cares” because HE doesn’t deserve the attention HE is getting. Clowns in the circus entertain but in the end they take off their clown suits and are normal people……but there are clowns who are clowns forever. We are NOT going to his circus!
Love, Teddy and Mom Pam
Watch you TV on June 14 if you really want to see a clown in action…and that’s YOUR tax money paying for the tanks and bands and soldiers. They should all say NO to this and kick this clown out.
The Women’s march is also on the 14th with the title of Impeach and Remove the Clown.
Thanks for asking your ‘Guru’ about my hard to identify flower. It’s pretty but some seem to think it may be a toxic plant, and its esp bad for cattle and horses, and other grazers in pastures. Even if around here it is native.
Good sparks!
When we as kids would say who cares around our parents they would reply, we care for you…LOL!!
I said that to my sons when they were still at home and they would roll their eyes, them naughty children! LOL!
Oh, that eye-rolling…..a gesture of recent years of adolescence but if we had done that….oh, boy. My mama’s mama, when hearing ‘hey’ would say Hay’s for horses! Manners were so important, and our paremnts cared deeply but lately when life gets too full of problems on top of the BIG PROBLEM OF T, “who cares” helps, haha.
If we rolled our eyes (long ago) we would hear about it pretty firmly. Manners were so important and when we said Hey to our mama, she responde, Hay is for horses and then whinny….
I cannot control what others think of me, only what I choose to do.
Five hundred years from now, it’s not going to matter so much, so I agree, who cares?
Oui, who cares? But we are VERY glad you are here NOW, Ms Messymimi.
I love that photo of you. And these are all great sparks. XO
Merci, Ms E. LOVE that bedroom. What an incedible idea for that very lucky little niece. Mama would have gone bonkers as a child over something like that.
The cornflower is sure pretty!

Well, a blogger asked the name of it in a past blog and we found the name from a friend who is a pro in the garden.
Those are excellent ! We also like Minnesota Gov, Tim Walz’s “Mind your own damn business !”
He is a cool guy, that’s for sure. Among so many idiots who won’t get off the dime and DO something to stop a maniac that is attacking American citizens with the National Guard!
