Little Girl


From the past...a little girl with blond curls, a smart red jacket and red plaid tennis shoes. She's a sweetie pie and only knows happy days. Who is she and where did she go?

The years go by and she grows older. She marries, she has a family. She dreams and deals with life. She makes mistakes, learns from them and moves on. She has her heart broken by those closest to her. Those she puts on pedestals fall and crash. People leave...friends come and go...She learns, she cries, she laughs she tells great stories. She's faithful and a good friend. She's a dreamer and a poet. She's a rocker and a roller. She's fun, yet can be cautious. She looks back a few too many times and it bites her in the rear. She finds she cannot fix everything. She cannot solve all of the rhymes she can't find all of the reasons.

She adores her children. They carry the best of her heart. She has regrets and misgivings, but offsets those with a sense of hope and promise.

She is me.

Monday Night Muse


Monday night...a rainy, windy Monday night. I'm sitting at my dining table working on a graphic design job and decided it's time to quit for the day. The house is quiet. I'm getting used to not having T.V. any longer. Decided to save some bucks and also save some time and dropped T.V. service after Christmas. So far so good. I watch Netflix movies online, catch my favorite T.V. shows (Cougar Town, Modern Family & 30 Rock) on hulu.com, so still have entertainment options. Also have the DVD player and T.V., so movies are the menu. It's not that bad...I can always go up the road to my mom's and watch the tube up there.

Ok...can you tell I'm stressin' a bit about not having T.V.? It's like a drug and I'm in recovery :).

Thought...do you know anyone that is just plain mean? I'm talkin' to the bone, angry, bitter and a master (or mistress) of holding a grudge? I do...and I actually feel pity for them...they know who they are. I'm stepping aside and letting God deal with them. I don't need their negativity in my life and I am bound and determined not to let their dark vibes poison my life. It's too bad, relationships that are broken are sad. Think about it...

Enough rambling...Keep your smile sweet and remember to laugh...
