A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

For meandering thoughts, and mindful walks...for rants and pouts, and blowing off steam. For happy days and sad days, for crazy adventures and delightful victories! :)

In response to "Hitting 60"

I am not quite 60...that will be next year

. But I also am at the point where I don't know how to feel or act. I hope you are doing well, and I also hope to see you around the community soon.

Take care,

Sincerely,
AmyJo

Have a Happy Birhday!

Remember, 60 is the new 40. I consider age to be really reverse logarithmic.

Have to admit, it's not only gorgeous with superior skill of your chosen illustrator, but the color scheme, subject, and perspective in layout is very effective. Me thinks I've just lost my chief exec in charge of all published Communication Centers. DRATS!!

In response to "The Museum"

I love those moments when the grandchildren really look at us and are shocked and amazed. I just finished a book manuscript based (loosely) on my childhood growing up on the Florida Space Coast; my daughter said, "It seems so long ago that these things happened, ancient history, but it's your history." She seemed just as amazed as the youngest ones. :) It's all relative, I suppose. L. Zern

(((Fyn))) I am so sorry for your loss. I hate reading others' blogs without invitation, but I saw your handle and got curious... Now, here I am with my own tears --from your words and for your loss. If there is anything I can do or you need to talk, I'm here for you, sweetie. Always.

(above is upc version of 55 and clear)
and speaking of upc symbols...I've come to the conclusion that they are devised to drive all retailers completely, totally and most assuredly NUTS/INSANE/CRAAAAAZY!

You see, upc symbols are supposed to (theoretically) make life easier, more scanable and therefore quicker. NOT. Especially when the folks at kraft or Frito Lays or Nabisco (to name just a few) decide to change the darned things on a fairly regular basis. When those people change the upc symbol on a product, it no longer scans through the registers. So one (usually the manager...me in this case) has to go into the computer, find the old one, modify the entry and enter the new upc. Now the cashier can ring up the product rather than putting it in as an unknown object. When you figure that my store (in this case) has something like maybe 20000 different products and this happens just about every grocery order or delivery, this add up to at least an hour a day changing the durned things. Multiply this times the number of stores in (for example) the US, and the amount of time all those managers must spend changing/updating...this translates to a rediculous amount of wasted time. Sigh. Frick! *_^&%&#%@#%$#^$ IIII II IIII I IIIII IIIIII I I!!!!!!
