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! :)

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!!

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.

32 and still snowing...

Today has been a roller coaster of highs and lows. Highs were a cool shell from my still secret pal, and finally actually talking to the secret pal I've been spoiling for a month! We yacked twice over coffee today and it was great!!!! Then a book I ordered arrived in the mail by one of the authors here at WDC. It is Home of the Red Fox by J.A. Buxton. I am so excited for her that it is published!!!!

AND also in the mail were my business cards! Whooohooo!

Then....dooooowwwwwwwnnnnn we go to the low part. An item I've been bidding on in Ebay for Ken's birthday (24 photographs circa 1932 of the USS Constitution) has risen to over 130.00 effectively knocking me out of the running. He is fascinated by the USS Constitution and the pics would have made him an awesome present.

Trying for a couple of individual old photos and a piece of the mast now...but not quite the same. SIGH.......Tho the piece of the mast will be cool...ifn I get it.
Almost afraid to hope. I let my hopes get high on the collection of pics and man, I am sitting here almost in tears, I'm so bummed. I was so ttally able to blow his socksoff with last year's present (a trip in a hot air balloon) and so this year, while not trying to top that (how could I?), I'm at least trying to come up with something very special. Course, he'd be happy with a card and a hug...but to my illogical female mind, that's totally besides the point!

32, lazy floating snow

Today I was finally able to reveal myself to my secret pal! We've already talked on the phone and I am so excited about this new friendship! Already looking forward to March's secret pals :) And the person who has me has made up for early on nonattention and out doing her/himself!

I've also been having fun getting to know some of the folks who have been responding to this blog. Still a strange idea to me to write a public blog...but I guess my thoughts are not too boring to people! lol

I've got a tonof stuff to do today, an here I am poking around at WDC. So what else is new! *grin* I have to finish the reviews for Soccor's contest today...and finish the new poem I'm working on and then there's the real world stuff...one real world thing I did today is send out my resume and cover letter for a job right here in town (rare to find something in town...I live is a teensy, tiny town) that I am really hoping comes through!

Speaking of teensy tiny towns... where I live we have a town park...we have movies in the park there in the summer...and everyone goes and watches movies we've all seen before or have on dvd just because it is a fun thing to do.

Now in the winter...we have movies at the pool at the high school. Everyone floats around on mats, passing the popcorn around while we watch the movie! It is nice because there are kid movie times, and adult movie times (with no kids spashing etc.) It is a lot of fun..and sometimes, hilarious...Imagine watching Waterworld or The Posidon Adventure while swimming..too too funny!

Everyone seems to know everything about everyone even if you don't know their names! I went to the hospital by ambulance a few months back because I'd hurt my back and couldn't sit in the truck...two months later when I was finally up and about, everyone (whether I knew them or not) was asking how I was...small towns...I love them!

There're three chickadees and a cardinal sitting either on the feeder out side the window or on the bush below it. They are such fun to watch. We have two pairs of cardinals and they wait for the chickadees to nock the seeds off the hanging seed bell and then fight over them. They are beautiful..the bright reds against the white snow and the two HUGE spruces in the front yard. The two trees are 75 feet tall..almost tall enough for one of the trees in Times Square...but the yard would be so empty with out them...we've talked about it tho...

My lazy snowflakes have gotten energetic...it is snowing like crazy all of a sudden..the birds took off and it is snowing so hard I can just barely see them sitting way inside the tree and out of the snow.

On that note, i shall go force myself to do the things on my to do list....
