march maddness

At least twice a year I have a mood shift. Not a big thing, now that I have been diagnosed bipolar (bear)...more of annoyance. That is why I have been silent so long, apologies to both my readers. grin. lizzzzzzzzzzy

moon thoughts

I read yesterday the moon is to have a copper-like tint to it. Could it be responsible for my random thoughts???
Some relationships are too complex to explain to someone new.
Advise is wasted on the young, it is not advise but experience that drives home a point. Just be there when the experience is over.
My Grandmother told us never to think of her in a rocking chair, but at a typewriter smoking and drinking rum. A generational blessing?
Keep life simple said a woman in the nursing home where I did rehab. Complexity has been my curse since then. grin!
Learning to walk is easy finding the path is hard. It is only in the still quiet moments that it is clear.
Random thoughts always make more sense, it is binding them together that makes an author.
My real blessings in life have two feet, my husband, my children and true friends.
A real friend is someone you can tell your inner most feelings, and not have them step on your feelings. Acceptance is key. It is great to be loved even when you are wrong...we all know the inner truth.
Sleep makes everything better, if a thought is keeping you awake, put it out with the rubbish.

black dog continued

So today I go to post the picture of the dog, stating he is a found dog. I go to the first pole, and there is a lost dog sign! Layla, started smiling in the car as I drove her home. Incredably funny good dog. Turns out that is where my daughter kept her horse, when asked about a reward, I replied I just wanted permission to fish in the pond on the back of the land. Happy ending.

I don't pick up dogs. You must understand that first. I don't pick up dogs. So why do I have a dog in my garage? Okay this dog is different, he has a collar and he has one of those special stay- in -the -yard thingys on the collar. So someone wants this dog. I don't pick up dogs...with out collars. This dog was walking in front of the car, it is a black dog, it was night, and we were headed toward a busy intersection. This is only the second dog I have ever picked up in ten years. "Dog you better feel lucky" because I don't pick up dogs. It has been a strange day. The dog thinks so too.

This is one of those days. It is day that happens in novels but not in real life. I did not even want to get up.
But LATER when I was in the check out line at our local grocer's, magic happened. I had to write a check because my debit card had gone all funny. I hate to write checks, and avoid doing so at all costs except hunger. So I recognized the older gent in front of me, an ancient professor. He forgot part of his order so I ran it out to the car to him. He looked so awful, thin and sooooo very old and frail. So there was a little delay when that happened. My check would not go through the little machine and after a while, a toe-tapping while, somebody else came to rescue the checker from my errant check. More time...I was so ready to leave. Then when I turned there was Amy!!! I had longed to see her for years now. There are stories out there about teachers who made a difference in a student, well to this then seventh grade teacher ~this student was special. I used to have "Lunch Bunch" in my classroom after a verbal tiff with the English teacher. I ate in my room after that and soon I had about 10-12 students eat with me. They were irregulars to some teachers, but each was special to me. We had holiday parties, with table cloths and candles and decorations. Amy was part of the lunch bunch. We all would listen to music hold forums...laugh and cry together. I have not seen Amy since her last year At Ramay Jr. High. My heart jumped when I saw her. It was a red letter day that started out blue, wondering if I was worth two cents to the world. I would have missed her if I had not had the delays. I hope for more in the future. Amy and I are having lunch at my favorite place, her suggestion: Hugo's. The sun is warm and I saw daffodils today blooming in my neighbor's yard. I see the post man it is one of the days you think you will find money in the mail! It has been a wonderful day.

I have in my hand the most amazing work of art. Not only is my doll (see flickr) absolutely the most beautifully crafted...full of creativity....mysteriously she is me!!!! I feel a strong connection with the creator of the doll. She is full of symbolism and a treasure to my heart. Lisa what more can I say? thanks this is a really fun thing to participate with others.
