~ A little something about ruwth ~ The truth is, you can find out a lot about me in my port. Today, I am gonna tell you about the first item I uploaded to Writing.Com: "My Psalm" . The Brief Description says: "Someone once suggested: Write a psalm of your own." Someone, eh? But who? Well, here is the rest of the story: It was 2004. I had just earned my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing. I had been an LPN and was on the verge of becoming an RN. I was 50 years old and had been divorced for almost four years. My "baby brother" had come to visit me from out of state. (People tease me about calling him my baby brother. He is the "baby" of the family and is seven years younger than me but at 43, he is no longer a baby.) Anyways, Baby Bro thinks it is time I start dating and he has just the way for me to do it: "Christian Mingle"—an online dating site. All I need to do it create a free profile and the fellas will line up at my door. Easier said than done. To start with, I had to choose a username. For my brother, anything will do. Not so for this big sister. I fretted over what name to use. The first ideas I came up with were already taken. The ones my brother came up with did NOT work for me. It took me days to decide on a name. By that time my brother was pulling his hair out. He probably would have given up but he really wanted me to find a nice guy and live happily ever after. The name I chose was quite fitting for me: "Choosing_the_Narrow_Road" I am pretty sure the account is still there. Something from that account followed me here to WdC. It was someone on that singles site (a guy) who suggested we all try writing a psalm. I wrote "My Psalm" over there at that fellows suggestion. When I opened my Writing.Com account later, I chose my psalm to be the first item I put in my portfolio. You can also find it here: And that's the rest of the story...
