Today makes it a year ago that my son set me up to be a blogger. It's certainly been quite the learning experience, with a lot more computer technique to be had on my part, slow & steady....
I've deliberately attempted to not include some of the more serious aspects of living our 21st century lives... Yes there have been aspects for concern among family & friends local & global, but I've tried to keep this as light as I possibly can, except for the few personal reflections, which is important for me to deal with when those kind of feelings come up, otherwise it blocks the creative expression I need to grow & to feel that way, for me anyway can be unbearable & therefore unacceptable, as I'm intended to-- "Make Art Not War", & all the creative colors & textures in between. Blogging along life's road has certainly aided me in this task. We all have our own personal ways to grow forth, & what work for one will of course not work for another. One size will never fit all, but r*e*s*p*e*c*t* will.
Sooo-- to all my family & friends, & new friends along the way who have taken the time to view & to read my point of view of life from these here hills I say-- "Thank You" for lending me your ear & allowing me to open my heart's thoughts to "yaz" all.
*Amen*
One last day of 2008. The parties have been fun, with the most recent being with the gals I work with in our Health Office. All these years working in health care , it will be 40 come the New Year. Time does fly. Tomorrow depending on the weather of course, it's a dental appointment & then off to the Museum of Fine Art in Boston. Time will tell. These past few weeks have been zooming by with all the-- here, there & everywhere that it's entailed, along with the bouncy weather patterns we've been experiencing. Sixty degrees the other day, who can keep track. New England winters are forceful, ever changing, moody & beautiful. Literature is rich with characters who have been influenced by these elements. We are still influenced by these elements which combined with other various factors of 21st century living have been known to make us-- strong, & resilient with our independent thinking, evident even to this day whenever a group of friends get together & discus their views of the world.
