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!

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.

31 and sunny

Cara's here!!! It is soooooo good to see my daughter after a year!!!! We (Ken, Cara and I) all went out for dinner last night...NICE! Tomorrow, finally, is Christmas! Yippee!

Had a horrible experience yesterday morning......

Driving down the road off the road we live on and there's a white blob in the road...I pulled over and no more than I got out of the car, I freaked. Full out, total, complete freaked! Ken had been behind me and he got out too. In the middle of the road was a bichon that had been hit by a car. It was dead. It looked exactly like our bichon. I'd never even seen another bichon in our neighborhood!

It had a collar exactly like Bear's (our bichon) I was screaming for Ken to tell me it wasn't our dog. he couldn't tell as it looked exactly!!! like ours. He left me with the dog and went home to check. I was crying and wanting to fix the dog and there was nothing i could do.

He came back a few minutes later and took so long (probably only seconds, but it FELT like forever) getting out of the car and all I could think was that he was trying to figure out how to tell me it was ours...

But it wasn't!!! Ours was home on the back of the couch 'guarding the house' as she always does.

I was still crying but now because it wasn't ours and ours was safe and...and...but...someone else's wasn't okay and someone else would now go through what i just had. While i was soo happy ours was okay, I was miserable that this one wasn't. I was shaking like a leaf and it still is really bothering me! When i got home i started crying all over again as i held our wiggling puppy.

Nothing like running the emotional gauntlet. Ours is named Bear because my daughter's nickname as a child was 'carebear' which shortened to 'Bear' as she grew older. And it is Cara, or 'Bear' that I picked up at the airport yesterday afternoon.

So now i have both my bears safe and sound...but I'm exhausted! *grin*

33 and snow-covered

My goodness!! It HAS been a while since I updated my blog....time got away from me, I guess...OK Condensed version....Party was awesome!!!! Lots of fun and everyone had a good time! Christmas, too, was fun, family filled, turkey was awesome and in the middle of it I had to work...Now former employee decided she didn't want to work...sigh...

New Year's came and with it 16 inches of snow!...so New Year's Day morning... I had to open the store and Ken took the truck and wallowed his way to employee #1's house (down unplowed dirt roads ) got them unstuck and brought her to work and then we went and snowblew out other people, including employee # 2 as she was still trying to get her car unburied. Ah management lol

Big changes at work too with the new year. We have a new district manager and it is going to be good. W e had a big meeting and it is going to be so cool once everything is in place and rocking and rolling! I am so looking forward to this! No more being tossed to the wolves and sinking or swimming...actually will feel like we have a support system in place again and it is going to make my job easier and my store so much better! I'm psyched!!!!!!!

and for the really big news.... my daughter's coming home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
