Word of the Day/Share

Good morning everyone!

I am listening to my Alexa and the morning spill she gives me when I say, “Good Morning”. She gives me a word of the day, and today the word is…

Axiomatic-

It means obvious.

I am thinking to myself it is cool to learn new words, so I am going to post a new word, or not so new word, however the case may be when I can.

Hope everyone has a great day.

Michelle Aka MwsR ❤

Mike & The Mechanics – The Living Years/ Song share

Take a listen if you have never heard this one.

 

 

Mike & The Mechanics – The Living Years

Lyrics
Every generation blames the one before
And all of their frustrations come beating on your door
I know that I’m a prisoner to all my father held so dear
I know that I’m a hostage to all his hopes and fears
I just wish I could’ve told him in the living years
Oh, crumpled bits of paper filled with imperfect thoughts
Stilted conversations I’m afraid that’s all we’ve got
You say you just don’t see it he says it’s perfect sense
You just can’t get agreement in this present tense
We all talk a different language, talking in defense
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye
So we open up a quarrel between the present and the past
We only sacrifice the future it’s the bitterness that lasts
So don’t yield to the fortunes you sometimes see as fate
It may have a new perspective on a different day
And if you don’t give up and don’t give in, you may just be okay
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye
I wasn’t there that morning when my father passed away
I didn’t get to tell him all the things I had to say
I think I caught his spirit later that same year
I’m sure I heard his echo in my baby’s new born tears
I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Say it loud, say it clear
You can listen as well as you hear
It’s too late when we die
To admit we don’t see eye to eye
Say it loud, say it clear
Say it loud, say it clear
Say it loud, say it clear
Say it loud

Grilled Chicken with Strawberry Salsa/Recipe Share

Grilled-Chicken-with-Strawberry-Salsa-1

 

Grilled Chicken with Strawberry Salsa

Ingredients
• 1/2 cup diced strawberries
• juice of 1/4 lime (you will use the remaining lime later in the recipe)
• 1 Roma tomato, seeded and diced
• 1/8 cup finely diced red onion
• 1/2 avocado, diced
• 1 small handful of chopped cilantro leaves
• sea salt and ground pepper, to taste
• 1 pound chicken tenders (or you can buy the breasts and slice it into long strips)

Directions
In a small bowl, combine strawberries, lime juice, tomatoes, onion, avocado, and cilantro. Stir to distribute the lime juice (this will help keep your avocado from browning). Season with salt, a pinch or two. Taste as you go so it is perfect for your taste buds!
Squeeze remaining lime over the chicken and then season with salt and pepper. Place tenders on a heated grill or grilling pan (medium to medium-high heat). Depending on the thickness of your chicken, you are going to cook them for 3-5 minutes per side. Check the internal temp with a meat thermometer to make sure the chicken is at 165 degrees. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
Spoon salsa over chicken. Serve immediately.
Enjoy!

Effort, poem by MwsR/Poem Share

F A L L I N G…

…Like leaves during a burst of wind on a new fall day

Too hurt though standing

With not much left to say

Thawing inside from the brutal words

That came from your frozen heart

Nothing can comfort the frost bite I have already

Is it too late, or am I not ready

Like dew that forms on a still blade of grass

I often see myself as coming up last

Trying hard though, in spite of it all

Helplessly wandering,

Never towering, but  just very small

Like rain before a hurricane, I give a good effort

Even knowing that the storms will come

That is always a good beginning

At least, it is something

Oh, the things that plague me the most

They are the good intentions that sometimes go array

Falling to the wayside unattended

As if I had nothing left to say

Oh, if effort could really be all one needs

Things could certainly be different,

At least, for me.

MwsR ❤
