Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum
You came along and everything’s startin’ to hum
Still, it’s a real good bet, the best is yet to come
Between trying to organise my life, juniors, and my parents PLUS taking night school, I have been terribly remiss in posting.
BUT the dust is settling, my friends, and I’ve got lots of good reading coming your way: Continue reading
Everything is awesome

So another new year rolls round and there are tons of lists out there. Some round up the past year by listing the ‘best of’ or people who died.
Others look forward to the new year by listing top ten resolutions, getting fit tips, self improvement ideas, etc.
With you gone, I’m alive,
Makes me feel like I took happy pills,

Happy Pills
The events of last year caught up to me and I was having a hard time getting over it.
But I didn’t want to go on serious chemicals. Been there, done that. I resorted to St. John’s Wort which had helped in the past. Continue reading
could use some patience, yeah
gotta have some patience, yeah
all it takes is patience,
just a little patience

Patience has never been my strong suit.

Music has always been a huge part of my life. Some albums I loved so much and played so often that they became the background
Music in my head
soundtrack to my life. The songs would be playing in the back of my mind for whatever situation I was in, like a movie soundtrack.

What a Whirlwind!
My dear friends, I haven’t forgotten you.
It’s just that life has been a bit of a whirlwind the past couple of weeks ALL of my own doing.
High points are that I’ve sold my house, moving to a new one, having to sort through 20 years of married – life crap, pack what’s left – all in 2 months. Continue reading
