Observations

I went to the bank today and there I observed a trend that that really is the sign of the times.  Pardon the cliche; but in this case I think that it is rather appropriate.   Now there was a line to the ATMs and everyone had their smart phone out.  One was texting,  another was actually talking to someone on the other end, and as for the rest they all were surfing or playing games.   It just struck me that this is what our society has leveled to?   And me like a lemming I had to pull out my smart phone just so I could be like every one else.

There is Excitement in the air....

Need I say more???  Its Day 2 and the total word count is:

4048

Hopefully I will continue.

New Beginnings

YES I am back for a bit well at least I am trying to be a part of it all.  I just do not have a lot to say at least of stuff that I am willing to release to the world.  But this I am willing to release.  I am at a new cross roads.  It is a journey that I have  been on for a while and it it something that I really need to do.
It is a path to a healthy life style that will be beneficial to me as a person.   It is a scary journey that I hope will be a good one!

There will be more...

There will be more I just have to figure out where the time has gone.  I do know that for November it was a great month for Nanowrimo in which I won!!! Does the happy dance and then digs out the winner pictures to post...

And there it is!  My novel isn't finished but it is what I consider an a good addition to what I am currently working on.  A work in progress.. (wip)  or an unfinished object (ufo) from my crafting piles. I will eventually post them as well. But for now this is a start as I have to go to bed so that the dreaded early hour for work can be accomplished.

   

Well again I digress and somehow I have managed to go off into never never land of my imagination leaving my characters sitting on the side of the road waving “hey you why did you leave us here yet again? We want you to tell our story and yet you are ditching us yet again.”

I yell back to my characters, “Hey now some of the effort has to come from you as well and the both of you…”  I glare at the twins, “Are not co-operating either! You keep twisting around and dodging the stuff that you don’t want to talk about.  It is really hard to tell your story if you don't  tell it to me!"

I watched as the twins turned to each other, and then I barely caught their whispers, “She is going nuts and its not our fault that we don’t feel comfortable talking about stuff…” 

I raised my eyebrows at them,  “You have problems then and so I give you ideas but you whine and shift around and say no.  And then you can sit there for a while and comtemplate life.  I am going for a walk.”  I stormed off leaving them alone on the road.

But some how I could still hear them in the back of my mind, it was almost like they hadn’t left, or I hadn’t stormed off.  But I was mad and I want to move on out of the swamp.  There was only so may ways that I can keep talking about the dampness humidity of that place. And then I turn around and there they were trudging behind me.  They stopped and turned. I think they were hoping that I hadn’t seen that they were following me.  So I thought to myself,  maybe this will help and after all … “Hey!” I shouted as I looked around, “We are not in the swamps anymore!”

They stopped and then turned back to me looking around at the lonely road that was pitted and cracked in places obviously it hadn’t been driven down in a very long time.  There was a small trail of grass growing in the center of the scarred tar.   The boy scuffed his feet on the road.  “Yeah maybe.”  He kept his head down the dark hair fell into his face covering his eyes.  He pushed it to the side but it didn’t stay there. 

He looked alone but he really wasn’t for his twin was standing there beside him.  The old jean jacket that he was wearing was shabby and worn on the elbows and there was a button that was missing from the front.  His dark pants had seen some better days and they were  before he had started wearing them.  

Hearts Desire

I was walking down a moonlit path one night,
Dancing before me a shimmer of light,
Opening up into a glem shimmering green,
Thousands of fireflies, twinkles of lights and
Whisps of dreams.

Dancing and twirling they coax me,
Over the mushroom ring I step and sink,
Faster and faster they twirl,
"Where are you taking me?" I whisper,
Watching the glimmering lights.

"To your hearts desire," I thought I heard
I stood up still with in the mushroom ring,
I started to drift up to the stars.
Above the trees I have no fear,
My friends, whirling lights circling around.

We drifted with the breeze of the night,
Over the mountains, and the sea.
What is my hearts desire?
I smiled and relaxed; this is my heart,
The moonlit path with shimmering lights.
