 |   I am finding my stride and living life in a world filled with chaos and change. |
  And here's my Simpsonized picture...  and my daughter, Baba. Isn't she cute?  Actually, I need to upload the whole family, just for the heck of it sometime. Then, I'll always have them right here with me.  This journal forced itself into being because I loathe, no, I mean, I love to write. It is a struggle to state what I am thinking inside so a daily blog is just what I need. Not because I want to, I must. My thoughts are begging to be heard before they are lost in the caverns of my mind.  |
| Today, gonna start something new in my life. Looking at beginning a small business with my spouse involving house painting, interior and some dry wall repair. This feels so WILD to me because I NEVER saw myself doing anything else but maybe investigating safety infractions or something similar but not this. It's not far fetched just not what I thought life had in store for me. I need to get some items typed up and file with the town recorder, as well as the local bond company to insure any clients will feel safe while we work in their home. I'm glad that I am typing on my blog again today; this is again, a weird thing that I'm starting to feel quite comfortable doing. Well, better turn. Till tomorrow. Thanks for reading... |
| Well, today I woke thinking how grateful I am for "getting" another day here. Life is a fragile thing; it is not to be taken for granted that you will have the next day. I have really been made aware of this with the three losses in our family in the past two years. That shaved off quite a bit of the family, which makes one feel more vulnerable. I was always in this state but for some reason, it never occurred to me that today might be it. So, I need to do more while I can, be more while I can move as well, experience the life that I know is out there with no regrets that I reached for it with all that I had in me! With this in mind, I started doing more, trying more things and even if I might need to play the fool while I am learning, it is better than sitting dreaming of things that I am not trying to actually obtain. I think of my Father. It makes me sad that he never got the BEST cheesesteak sandwich from a small shop in Merrillville IN, my sister and brother, never left the state once they moved to IN more than 30 years before. My husband and I try to leave every year, it is a healthy thing to do and what FUN we have when we do. It is better to try and fail while trying than to not try at all. |
This is so weird that I find myself making an entry in this blog, the blog that I've ran from with all of my being, not sure why I did but the last time I wrote in this blog, I'd lost my family members on Thanksgiving and was still reeling from this loss. Thanksgiving in 2021 finds me and my family, well, my immediate family doing things unlike what I'd done in the past. Things are changing; it feels fantastic, really good. Started listening to some positive instructive ideas from one of the greatest minds this world has ever seen, what a GREAT time to be alive, to hear this type of talk from Dr Jordan Petersen, who is a clinical psychologist and deep thinker whose book, "The 12 Rules for Life", was a life and mind reorganizer for both myself and my husband. My husband doesn't listen just to anyone and so much that Dr Peterson has stated, once implemented, has changed things in our lives. I'm thinking different, I'm finding that tasks that I thought I couldn't manage, I'm addressing directly and seeing them work out smoothly. Well, I'm not sure what else to say now but I will say Happy Thanksgiving to you, if you stop by and read my blog. ♥ |
| I thought I posted this a few days after Thanksgiving but I see that I didn't :( Thanksgiving morning will never be the same for me, for many of us who saw our siblings dead on the hospital morgue slab. I'm still having trouble believing that they are GONE...never will they bug me or call me or say I love you Lyn again. Well, until we see one another again beyond the blue, that is. I posted that horrible experience in my blog and it is GONE!!!! :( What they heck???? I was trying to document the emotion of that mnorning and now I got to go back there again to post this on Christmas???? Ugh!!! But I will..,..just not this morning. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much to get done now. Later... |
| Well, I finally am doing something I feel is of import...I'm learning a new language...German, no less! I'm pretty stoked over doing this and I've been on track no for the past 52 days! My husband realized I'm quite serious about it and now I've added French to the menu!  WEll, guten noch to you! |
Wow! There is A LOT of dust in this area...whew wheeee!  Some of it hit me in the eyes too...so what am I doing here? Not sure, guess cause I saw that I hadn't written here in over 6 years!!! This is horrible, really, I'm supposed to write, this IS a writing site and I haven't written ANYTHING here in so long! So, here's something, it's not really anything but maybe I'll write something more in snippets...cause at least it's something. |
Today's blog prompt asks us about our first crush, and I had to think waaaay back on this one. Hmmm, I think my first crush was a boy in the 6th grade and he was a twin. They're names were the type popular and rhymed on the last syllable. Ronald and Donald. I liked Donald, and tried to gaze at him from my seat on the bus. They both had matching fros that were picked out really well on their heads. I liked Donald's fro the best and he was the nicer of the two. One day, when I felt caught up with my crush, I wanted to express it to him in poetic form. Did I tell him a poem? No, of course not. I wrote him a poem. Now, I didn't have the nerve to walk up to him personally but there was a third family member, whose name I have blanked out entirely, who I approached to handle the dirty deed. He gladly offered to pass on my note to him, but not before reading it and dying in a fit of laughter. No, gentle readers, he did not really die, even though I would have saved my ruined reputation had he left this earth without passing on the note. Long story short, Donald did not share my affection and every time he saw me, he managed to look through me or around me, while the rest of the kids pointed and laughed. So, that's my first crush. I stopped sharing my thoughts with others till I met my husband to be and fortunately, he felt the same. Well, that's all for tonight...stay safe and warm! The Tale of Coco Adore:     |
Today's blog question was would we read someone's mind if we could, and if so why? If not, why not? My post will be brief, again, due to lack of writing time devoted to my blog...sigh! So, I think I wouldn't read someone's mind because I am not sure I'd like to see what they are thinking. This is based on my personal preference for privacy. I married a private man; we enjoy our space and our privacy. That includes privacy of thought. To be quite honest, writing this blog is difficult for me, at times, because I have to divulge my thoughts and/or intents, and that is hard for me. Back to my reasoning on mind reading, I could not do it because it's the last hidden place, the last secret place from all prying eyes, and nosy ninny's noses. I think our thoughts and feelings are our own and should stay that way. That is just my thinking, of course, and now I say good night. The Tale of Coco Adore:  |
| Today's blog entry question asked us if we could be any animal in the world, which one would you choose and why, and I had to sit on this one. I like cats A LOT, especially the blue Russian varieties but then I had to walk away from that one. I'd probably not get in a good home, and I don't think the domesticated life suits me. My daughter wanted me to choose a dolphin; she likes them a whole lot too. Oh, she said it's because of their snouts. She thinks they are cute. Cute is a word she uses a whole lot but a lot of things are cute at her age. Then, I thought why not choose a dragon. I know they don't exist any longer, well, they are creatures told in stories but we have to know that there is some basis in reality for these stories and the creatures in them. So, I am going to choose a dragon, a red and black dragon with silver scales. My dragon will keep a blue Russian cat for a pet. So there. Okay, posted something for tonight. Better go to bed. See you tomorrow. The Tale of Coco Adore: ** Image ID #1523746 Unavailable ** |
Today's blog post is about the movie that frightened us the most. It wasn't hard for me to remember the movie once my husband helped me to recall the time I stopped watching horror movies...yep, I no longer watch the genre because of THIS one movie. Well, in all fairness, there was one movie that preceded it that made me not want to watch them, and then, I did one time with my husband on movie night...and that was the last time I saw them! I'm building up to a short retort...the movies were: 13 Ghosts and then, The Hills Have Eyes. The thing that these movies have in common are scenes where a child is killed or threatened in a vulgar way with death or dismemberment...I can NOT abide it...I just can't! I saw 13 Ghosts back in 2003 and I had to stop watching it because of the scene with the child. The Hills Have Eyes I saw back in 2005 one night and it was just disgusting..that's all I can say on it. Oh, and I was frightened all right. So called sane people conjured up this stuff for film...well, I digress. Thanks for reading my blog! The Tale of Coco Adore: ** Image ID #1523746 Unavailable ** |
