** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **  Thank you Wanbli Ska, for this beautiful gift of poetry! Welcome! I share with you here, some lessons through life, and from some old wise ones. Even children and animals have been my teachers. These experiences that we go through in life are meant to teach us something. To help us grow spiritually. Be grateful for them... give thanks, for they are all needed. ~SummerLyn |
| Making a conscious effort to get back with my writing. Decided to start up this blog again. Yet, this effort is really an effort. It's not about having time but managing my time in the day better. Thinking I really need to learn management skills, at least as far as time goes. There are days where there is so much time and I just want to do nothing because other days I've spent squeezing everything in so as to get to a day where I can do nothing and enjoy it. I am thinking that if I spend less and less time on Facebook and more time here, I will delve deeper and further into my writings. I have a group that is like my child and I can't just let go of it, however. It's aim is to bring people of this world together in love. Promoting peace and thus harmony. It's God inspired so I can't just let go of it until I feel it's alright with Him. I am reminded within me that we have a choice, but I always try to keep my will in line with God's will. I am sure I will know when it is time. And well...onward in this day. It's Saturday so I need to be doing something that will help me feel accomplished...like getting my laundry done. I know it's not going to do it by itself so off I go to make the effort to be a responsible adult.  |
| I knew it would happen!!!....That moment in your life when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. When you just wake up one morning and something inside you says, "Okay, it's time!!...It's 'enough' now!" You move on from places and people who darken your world and cause these 'ripples' in your life. You make the decision to surround yourself instead, with those who make you laugh. FORGET THE BAD AND FOCUS ON THE GOOD. Make a conscious effort to love and appreciate those people who treat you right, pray for the ones who do not. It's what God wants for us! Your life is just that...YOUR LIFE! It's really a short moment in time and much too short to be anything but happy, so why not be be just that! How does that saying go, Falling down is a part of life, but getting back up is living. . I believe that! Why not start living!! |
| Returning back from an 8 year hiatus...back on WDC! I'm reminded that it's been ten years now that I've been a member!! A good feeling to be back to my writing, but so unfamiliar with how to make things work on Writing.com. As I enter this adventure again, I take a look around...some old faces...some changes but making my way around. It's almost like coming home again. Guess it's time to take a look around and get acquainted with the 'how to's'. I'm just going to pull the covers off, blow this dust off and get to work again. Rolling up my sleeves here...I've returned |
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** This magically appeared in my life today, and...so thought enough of it to pass it on to you as 'food for thought'...Life is good!!!  This is what you do. If you feel low, you stand tall. You mess up, you move on. You want to try something, try it, and if it was a stupid thing to try, you look it in the eye. There's no turning back. You apologize if you're sorry, but know that the nimblest, strongest hands can't rebuild a bridge out of embers, so cut new wood. Start from scratch. You love with your whole heart. If you're jealous, talk yourself from the ledge. If you can't talk yourself down from the ledge, have a good time up there, looking down on the world. If you have to lie to make everything true again, lie like you mean it. If you find yourself in a cage, reach out through the bars for the key, unlock the door, and run away. If running away gets dangerous, run home. If home doesn't mean what it used to mean, decide what home will be in the future. If your best friend says she doesn't trust you, hold her jaw in your hand until it hurts, and make her face you. Thats all it takes. If you think you love a guy, see how his hand looks in yours, thats all it takes. If you get exiled into a new land, then go discover it. And if you feel like you're drowning, go swimming. ~ Hobson Brown My 'Gift' Of Song For You This Day~ [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] |
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts. ~ Patrick Rothfuss (The Name of the Wind) With life's happenings...I sort of have been feeling like a lone autumn leaf that has fallen from an old oak tree...sitting alone...a gust of wind blowing me here and there, until finally a strong wind blows me so hard that I am in pieces. Speaking of strong wind...since I have been banned from Laura's boyfriend's FB...I guess I can freely say the latest happenings...or can I?  ...An encounter with him yesterday left me wondering why on earth I was just sitting there taking all the garbage that was coming out of his mouth with his yelling at me and throwing things all over because he feels I am an evil person and I am the blame for alot of things. I admit I am not quite the angel and I have given thoughts that he does not agree with, amongst other things, but I don't believe anyone should be treated, nor should take anything from anyone like that, but there I was.... I just stood there...I figured...'Well..perhaps it will make him feel better.' It most certainly didn't make me feel good...but if it made another feel good...well then...I am happy I could help. After he had finished stomping, yelling and getting in my face...he finally asked me if I wanted a drink because he was pouring one for himself...I asked him, "What are you having?" Even though I just wanted to book out of there..."Bourbon and coke."...thinking to myself...I don't even drink but heck this might make me feel better...after three I felt no more pain.  Life is good!..Called her as I was leaving his house and attempting to find my way back to Philadelphia(Mississippi)...she asked, "Was he Mad?!..What did he say?" I replied, "Nahhhh...He was very kind and a perfect gentleman! He loves you." .And as I understand it...they are still together...and I say...'Bring it on! I can take it!!' Hope they are happy together!  My 'Gift' Of Song For You This Day!~ [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] |
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** “Always hold your head up, but be careful to keep your nose at a friendly level.” ~Max L. Forman I think when I get to where I'm going...If there are some 'Gates' as the story describes, and there is someone there to greet me...I don't think he or she will be looking for the medals I won in this lifetime, nor the ribbons that were given to me on my writing achievements. My diplomas will not get me in the door to the other side there, but moreso a look at my life and to see just how many scars I've got. For the road has been long...sometimes narrow and with many winding turns. Some thorns along the way have pierced me, but I do believe I'll be welcomed. If there were some questions about if I used my time wisely, I'd have to say, "Not always but I tried." And if there was a question of wisdom, I'd have to admit that although honesty was the first in my chapter of Wisdom...I didn't always utilize what I learned in this book. Could I have done better? ...Sure...but could I have done worse...Why, Yes! I remembered to treat people with honor and respect. I remembered they were my brothers and sisters, no matter how nasty they got with me, and I sure as heck gave enough love, compassion and forgiveness. Just ramblings today is all....

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Respect was invented to cover the empty place where love should be. ~Leo Tolstoy So...I am sitting across from a friend, who simply pours it out that her boyfriend of several months has called her 'twisted' and 'cold'...along with a long list of other things that I just can't remember. I sip my coffee and my mind wanders..here she is thinking she is worthless simply because a man tells her that he doesn't love her....because he has told her as much. And my mind turns back to her again and I am thinking as I stare at her..."here you are telling me you have no place to go because he threw you out like yesterdays garbage...so you feel like 'garbage'. Hmmm...Is this Love?..." I believe it was Tony Morrison who gave this analogy that I liked...She said, Did you ever see the way the clouds love a mountain? They circle all around it; sometimes you can't even see the mountain for the clouds. But you know what? You go up top and what do you see? His head. The clouds never cover the head. His head pokes through, beacuse the clouds let him; they don't wrap him up. They let him keep his head up high, free, with nothing to hide him or bind him. Love to me...should be like this analogy. If you are going to turn over your heart to someone...better yet...If you are going to be turning over your entire life to another...than he should be valuing it just as much, or if not more than you value it. Just a thought or two placed out this day...And well...I am thinking I just may have needed something to 'blog' about again...guessing I got it this morning. I am wishing you all peace in your moments given. My 'Gift' Of Song For You This Day~ [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] |
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree~ And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more, But dipped its top and set me down again. That would be good both going and coming back. One could do worse than be a swinger of birches. ~Robert Frost I swear 'life is but a dream'...I wonder if...in truth...this is all but an 'Illusion'...for it seems that life is like a Kaleidoscope...ever changing...sometimes moving too fast. It has been this way for me lately...Just had a whole lot of things happening...too many to remember. Yet...I just thought to let people know that I am still around...hanging in there. Winter is setting in...thinking it's right around the corner. Wishing you peace in your moments always{/font:comic}~ My 'Gift' Of Song For You~ [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] |
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Do you know what it's like to love someone so much, that you can't see yourself without picturing her? Or what it's like to touch someone, and feel like you've come home? ~ Jodi Picoult (from the Book, The Pact It's been awhile...Yeah! It's been awhile! Alot of things happening, yet it just seems every time I manage to get in here...I find the message of a reminder in my mailbox that I need to 'update my blog.' Let me go ahead and do that! I will update you all on what has been happening. And well...it begins with Laura whose man cheated on her...I know I was in shock myself over here. I wouldn't have ever thought it would have been something like that...I would have actually thought that they would have just branched apart and eventually go their separate ways...but nooooo! It's okay though...she has another and the man may just be her blessing. Although he is quite a bit older.  I get the feeling he is true and more in line with her. I pray this is so! Distance these days, seems to be their biggest feat. As for me...I just can't stay here in this darkness for much longer, so I ventured off to find another place and found 'the place of peace' for me. It's out in the middle of nowhere(where I like it!)...of course it's not my log cabin... ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** but hey!!!...You can't have everything in life! Life is good!  I miss the children as well! I don't really know what happened after that last time. I never did see them again!  ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Perhaps they sensed what I sense here. Okay well...Sundance...powwows(Oglala Nation Powwow is coming up!)...just alot of things happening...including the Sturgis Bike Rally! Keeping busy here...but not too far from being able to say, Hello! Ohhh yesss...my phone broke(another story! LOL) so if anyone happens to call me...I will eventually call you back! Wishing you beauty in your moments there! Stay well...stay happy! My 'Gift' Of Song For You This Day~  [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] |
** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** Do onto others, as you'd like done to yourself. Isn't that how that saying goes?...And well...it was Wallace Black Elk who was quoted as saying something similar. He said, "If bad words come, I let them come in one ear and go out the other. I never let them come out of my mouth. If a bad word comes in your ear and then comes out of your mouth, it will go someplace and hurt somebody. If I did that, that hurt would come back twice as hard on me." It is wise to remember this, because words have power. Words can be like a sword...they can either aid or hurt. Wishing you peace in your moments there...remember to be kind. My 'Gift' Of Song For You This Day~ [Embed For Use By Upgraded+] |
