Hi 👋☺️ and welcome back 😁. Even though I don't know you, it's nice to hear from someone who found benefits in being here 😉! I read your previous entries and wow a lot of changes in your life. Glad you're well and getting back to write ✍️ again.
I lived in Tacoma for a while and understand the short growing season 🌹 🌽 ( not to mention how not fun working graveyard 🪦 must have been for
you.
Glad you were added to the newsletter fellow blogger.
Write ✍️ on!
I don't remember Mr. Nixon well, as I was just a teenager not particularly interested in politics, but I was sitting in my barracks room about 5 miles away from the Oval Office when he resigned. It was a very strange time and strange feeling. The last time I "lost" a President in office was when JFK was assassinated. Nixon's resignation wasn't at all the same scenario, but something had still gone very wrong.
I sat down to work on something late last night, and between midnight and 2 a.m. -- I finally looked up to realize there was snow outside. And it kept snowing and snowing. It warmed up a bit but I sort of hope it stays, too. We had that one weird storm in October (they didn't close campus but I was absolutely late for class), and then nothing since! I drove back from a neighboring city last night and got lucky: all I encountered was fog. Now I'm waiting to hear if I have to shovel that sidewalk all the way around the side of the house...
Glad to see you back and posting something. 😃 First of all, it's from a fortune cookie! 😜 Let me interpret it for you:
Live for today - Eat the damn cookie.
Remember yesterday - You were hungry for something sweet.
Plan for tomorrow - Yuk - this tastes like cardboard. Maybe I'll go with a cupcake!
Now you've got it! Remember, write first for yourself. Who cares if anyone else likes it? That's not why we write. Just remember what Robert Frost said: "Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words." Yes, it's that's simple
